Did anyone actually see his UN speech? I certainly don't agree with alot of his values and ideals concerning his countries business. I watched the speech and I hate to admit that alot of the things he said are true. Ahmadinejad didn't mentioned the US specifically but used phrases like 'aggressive capitialist nations'.
He mentioned his religion and his beliefs that everyone should live together in harmony. I did get the impression that he does want peace and as he pointed out, there is no proof of his government's involvement with terrorists in Iraq. He denies wanting nuclear weapons and would like to just have nuclear power and is being told he can by the a country one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world.
He made it clear that he wants peace but is afraid of us.
At this point I couldn't help but to think of Dick Cheney, on a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier, off the coast of Iran, flatout threatening them.
The camera panned around at the different UN delegates and it seemed to me he had some of the countries on his side. They then showed the US's box and there was one younger girl in attendence, someone's assistant at best, it seemed.
I hate to feel as if, the US, the supposed land of the free, won't even listen to what 'Our Enemy' has to say. It seems we abandoned diplomatic solutions once Bush put Iran on the "Axis of Evil List".
I don't have a link for the actual speech, as I saw it on TV, but its worth looking for. Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville |
