The arrogance of Ahmadinejad
...The suffering of the people of Iraq has been primarily at the hands of our enemies in Iraq, al Qaeda and Iran's supported militias. both targeted non combatants and both were responsible for much of the death an destruction in Iraq, not the US which has deployed its forces to stop the attacks on the civilians by the enemies of civilization."Absolute unilateralism" by the United States is the salient element of the new system adopted by the U.S. government toward world development. It has prevented the American people from playing their proper role in eliminating tyranny and violence and in helping bring peace, justice and security. Why should the prestige of the great American people be tarnished by the selfish and bullying ambitions of their government, whose negative role is clearly visible in many current conflicts, especially in the Middle East?
The worst example of this approach was the U.S. attack on Iraq and its catastrophic consequences. What was the crime of the 700,000 Iraqis, mostly women and children, who have died since, or of the many more that have been disabled, injured and displaced? On the basis of what international norms and rules can the U.S. government justify its actions over the past four and a half years there? Who should be held accountable for the destruction and oppression of the Iraqi people?
...
It is beyond arrogant for Ahmadinejad to talk about unilateralism by the US when its entire approach to Iran's weapons production threat has been to involve multilateral sources such as the Europeans and the UN. If this guy would cooperate with the multilateral teams from the IAEA and UN his country would be better off and not under threat or sanctions. He should also stop Iran's unilateral assistance to those killing non combatants in Iraq.
Ahmadinejad is defined by chutzpah.
