I'm saying that because I don't want young celebrities who track what I say and do to think that I'm running the country or the world.
What you ought to do is to read what a lot of people have to say about a lot of things, instead of thinking that what the media or the people around you say about me from one day to the next is the only thing in the world that's important.
I think that the decision was right. It wasn't my decision. I didn't suggest it, authorize it, or implement it. There was never any threat to me; I was never in physical danger and I wouldn't have been blamed if it went wrong. A lot of people who have the responsibility for their countries, who together have the responsibility for the world, think that it was the right decision; they are the people to whom the credit for it should be given.
There are also people who have worked for years to address the Syrian crisis. There are so many of them that I couldn't talk about them all, from diplomats who try to create peaceful resolutions to doctors who have tried to save people's lives when they can't.
