There's a quote I picked up from a movie, "The Way of the Gun", which has stuck with me for a long time.

"I would never ask you to trust me. That's the cry of a guilty soul. But trust life. Always trust life."

It means that you can't trust people by their words. You can only trust them to follow their nature.

Now this doesn't apply to everyone. He meant this in regard to himself, as a man who had done bad things to bad men. In a strategic fashion, you can't leave room for trust. Any civilized leader knows that you must cover your ass. This is especially true with anything as threatening as U.N. sanctions, military recourse, etc. The only reason he would tell us to trust him is to make us look bad for not trusting him. Otherwise he'd just hand over the evidence and be done with it.
