Cliff May provided a few snippets of Ahmadinejad's speech at the United Nations. I was surprised becaue I had not heard them on TV, seen them reported in the Newspaper or even remarked on in the Internet. In the interst of providing some insight into the minds that run Iran, a country bent on getting a nuclear bomb, here are a few thoughts form it's "elected" leader.
Read the whole thing.“Thousands of years have passed since the children of Adam (peace be upon him) started to settle down in various parts of Earth,” the Iranian president instructed the General Assembly. “The current abysmal situation of the world and the bitter incidents of history are due mainly to the wrong management of the world and the self-proclaimed centers of power who have entrusted themselves to the Devil.” [snip]At one point — a point any clear-eyed reporter would have seen as newsworthy — Ahmadinejad cast himself in the role of biblical prophet: “God Almighty has promised us a man of kindness, a man who loves people and loves absolute justice, a man who is a perfect human being and is named Imam Al-Mahdi, a man who will come in the company of Jesus Christ and the righteous. . . . He will bless humanity with a spring that puts an end to our winter of ignorance, poverty, and war with the tidings of a season of blooming. . . . Long live this spring, long live this spring, and long live this spring.” [snip]According to the New York Times, Ahmadinejad “stuck largely to spiritual and moral themes,” delivering a “lecture about the need for a fairer world order.”
