Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday his reaction after ousted Libyan ruler Moammar Gadhafi's death is "not different."
"It was the will of the people that should work. ... justice, freedom and respect - this is the right of all nations," he said in an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria.
Ahmadinejad said he believed NATO's mission in Libya exacerbated the conflict, adding that the sovereignty of all nations should be respected.
The position of the United States in countries such as Libya and Syria has not helped, he added.
"Justice dictates that nobody should kill the other. Nobody has the right to kill others ... neither the government nor the opponents," Ahmadinejad said.
"We are going to make greater efforts to both encourage the government of Syria and the other side and all parties to reach an understanding. We believe there should be no interference from outside."
Ahmadinejad's stance on conflicts mirrors his speech last month at the U.N. General Assembly.
Delegations from the United States and several European nations, including France and the United Kingdom, walked out during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech, in which he repeatedly condemned the United States and said some countries use the Holocaust as an "excuse to pay ransom... to Zionists."
In his remarks, Ahmadinejad called the September 11, 2001, attacks "mysterious" and said they were a pretext for a U.S.-led war against Afghanistan and Iraq.
He said the United States killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden instead of assigning a fact-finding team to investigate "hidden elements involved in September 11."
He also placed blame on the United States for numerous global problems including the financial crisis, criticizing it for dominating the world's "policy-making establishments," overspending on the military, and "printing trillions of dollars" that triggered inflation, according to an English translation of his speech provided by Iran's U.N. mission.
Ahmadinejad said the U.S. government views Zionism as "sacred," and that "European countries still use the Holocaust after six decades as the excuse to pay (a) fine or ransom to the Zionists."

I totally agree with ahmadinajads.view. What exactly i̶̲̥̅s the. Aim of us intervention? i̶̲̥̅s it truly for peace? If so why hav ppl lyk mugabe nt been broght down?if there wasn't that much oil in libya wld they b there this much? I think there i̶̲̥̅s an extent to which a so called super power shld intervene so that the country in question can stil maintain its sovereingty! As far as I am concerned the major reason for all the intervention i̶̲̥̅s purely from realist motives
"We are going to make greater efforts to both encourage the government of Syria and the other side and all parties to reach an understanding. We believe there should be no interference from outside."
so... what part do you agree with... the part where he says he wants to interfere with his 'encouragement' or the part where he says there should be no interference from outside
Typical American arrogance. Always putting words in other peoples mouths. i didn't come away with anything from the article like you stated the way you understood it. it's kind of like me saying, I disagree with you. We shouldn't nuke Iran.
tiki: I agree with you...what you said is what Ama-alphabet said. David is all wet if he did not read that...it was clearly stated, and david"s response sounds childish.
I thought the same thing at first. He said he didn't think those from "outside" should interfer in a country's internal problems, and yet within the same response stated that his country would "strongly encourage" Syria. It sounds hypocritical. But then you have to remember that there is a translation occurring, and that never translates exactly as spoken in the first language. His idea of interference could have been indicating physical interference or armed interference (i.e. NATO in Libya). Or by saying "outside" he may have meant from outside the region, not outside the particular country. He is always saying that the West (US & Europe) keep getting involved in Arab issues that should be settled by Arabs.
I agree with David.
chrissy... um... iranians aren't arabs.
Yeah, I caught that too. By "encouraging" them to act in a certain way, and we know that "encouraging" involves you won't get this or that unless you do this, they are not only interfering, they are calling the shots.
The problem now, in the United States is that we have too many AIPAC supporters in Washington DC. We need to get Israel out of American politics... and then the world would be a much safer place.
I agreed. In fact all the money and the life wasted in Iraq and the whole middle-east is because of the US policy supporting and arming Isrial.
Without a strong Israel, the middle east would have fallen as a Soviet domain during the cold war. All powerful Arab countries (Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq) were armed and trained by the Soviets. Actually, the USSR had a BIGGER military presence in the ME through economic and military help than did the US. Israel, TurkeySaudi Arabia and Iran (up through 79) were the the counter-force to Soviet expansionism in the ME.
It would really help if more of you knew 20th century history so that you douldn't just base your ideas on antisemitism alone, which is what we are mostly hearing here.
What about the millions invested into Saudi Arabia? What about their lobby? I see no one complaining about their hands in American politics.
Go back to china dummy...
You couldn't be more right, Cassandra Chu. But who is it that invited AIPAC to take over the political process in the U.S.? WE Americans did. So we are responsible for our own demise. We started out, 235 years ago, seeking freedom from empire, and now we spend a trillion dollars each year "defending" the biggest military empire in history. Israel's supremacist "Might Makes Right" ideology accords with our own. Where Israel seeks to keep millions of Palestinians under perpetual occupation, we seek to keep the entire world under occupation and control.
Empire is obviously a recipe for moral, political and financial bankruptcy, but we can't help ourselves. Our system is addicted to war. War is the most lucrative racket there is.
Our founders gave us a formula for long-term viability: Put the individual above tribe and state, treat all individuals as equal, cling to the rule of law, respect national sovereignty. That is what we threw away. Instead of trying to live WITH other countries, we now feel a need to CONTROL other countries. We've regressed from mutuality and reciprocity to domination and delusional arrogance.
I have a question Chu...Why does one blame all the problems in the middle east on a country the size of Delaware...You do know where Delaware is right? Answer, They HATE Jews, always have, always will, teach their children to hate Jews. Threatened by one of the Worlds leading intellectual races. Sorry, the truth hurts. The only place in the world Arabs are happy is in the West, everywhere else, their lives are crap.
Its quite amusing to observe how the hate that many of these posters have for the US and Israel allows them to ignore the atrocities that leaders like this Amadinnerjacket guy has committed against HIS OWNPEOPLE. Unfortunately, the internet is a double edged sword. On the one hand it promotes the dissemination of information, on the other hand, it feeds the ranks of the semi-intellectuals who rely on You Tube and Wikipedia to educate themselves on every issue, and then invade this sites to enlighten us all with their newly acquired "wisdom".
I think your right. Israel is responsible for much of the conflict that is going on.
I agree with Ahmadinijad, I think he should be taken more seriously than he is. It's a shame that our representatives in the UN walk out when he speaks. He actually tells them the truth, but they don't want to hear it. The things he is mentioning that we are doing to weaken our nation are the exact same things that destroyed the Roman Empire centuries ago.
******* Cassandra Chu
The problem now, in the United States is that we have too many AIPAC supporters in Washington DC. We need to get Israel out of American politics...............
We need to get Republicans and the Tea party out of American politics.
nobodycare what you think Chu..your not ever american.
look! now antisemitism has spread to china.. the problem with the middle east is not Isreal, it's all you other fanatics born hateing anything not Islamic.that's why your lives are so pathetic you are about hate.
"Justice dictates that nobody should kill the other." -Unless it's us doing the killing. But then our morality changes with the situation. Take our 'free election' process, for example. If we don't like the results, we just change them. Then kill anyone who tries to argue.
I agree that they don't seem to treat their own people the way I would like for them too. But then again, it's none of my dang business. What matters is how they treat other countries. And the FACT is, they kill FAR LESS innocent people in other countries than WE DO.
david – How is it not important how they treat their own people?? That is the true measure of a country's worth in my opinion. They can look like saints to the rest of the world, but if they are oppressing their people and stifling their rights, then they have a serious problem.
P.S. – To those of you who are about to say "That's what the U.S. does" or something related, go live in Iran for a few months and then get back to me. We have it darned good here, despite what the whiny little anarchists say.
David...Name the last humanitarian mission Iran was involved in or funded? The US stands out in funding and assisting other countries with humanitarian problems. And yet you defend Iran.
massbytes: Actually I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with your opinion or those on this board, but misinformation is a problem for all sides. Iran actually has been extremely generous with humanitarian aid. In 2010, Iran sent not only aid and money but dozens of doctors and even more rescuers to Haiti after the earthquake. In 2011, Iran sent aid to Libya to help with food and medical care. And as of today, Iran was the first country to pledge aid to Turkey for the recent earthquake. With that being said, I am not in favor of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a government, but it is important not to pass on bad information or think that people as a whole are different in different countries. Government policies can be terrible on both sides, but people are still people.
I have no idea WHY CNN continues to air this nut-job's views on anything. He has proven over and over that he is a bufoon, albeit a dangerous one. To even pay attention to anything this guy says is sheer irresponsibility. CNN: Please do not offer a platform to unworthy sources just because they are "entertaining" lunatics. Any head of government that questions the authenticity of the Holocaust is not worth an OUNCE of media attention and that says that "there are no gays in Iran" is disqualified from being news-worthy. Please let's deal with NEWS and not comedy.
I think it might be CNN's way of keeping us ALL appraised of who the nut bags in the world are. LOL
I agree. This is such trash coming from this idiot. Why does CNN even give him the stage , because he asks for it?
Thanks for reciting the Zionist party-line once again, "impartial" observer.
I can tell you are a Zionist, because you do not deal with Ahmadinejad's arguments. Instead, you emit slime - the same kind of slime that you guys used to seduce us into creating the trillion-dollar holocaust in Iraq.
I agree with NonZionist. Americans can't refute his statements. They can only call names. It really shows the intelligence that is present in our nation. The truth hurts people, and Ahmadinijad is telling the truth. We all know that these wars have been destroying the United States, and Ahmadinijad is saying why do you keep doing this to yourself? He's absolutely right...
there is going to an election soon, so it's time CNN starts telling people what they want to hear instead of the truth.It's just liberal media bias. nothing more
Only a ignorant, naive, and uneducated person would agree with this out of touch baseless leader. Are you aware of the bloodshed that this dictator has caused his people? Are you aware of the fact that he promotes the destruction of Isreal? are you aware that he supports holocaust deniers? Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Liberals think he is a nut job too with many of the things he says (i.e. Holocaust never happened and no gays in Iran). However, liberals also are willing to listen to all he says (understand your enemy) and see that there are a few grains of truth in some things he says, no matter how distasteful other comments are. Bottom line, he is a leader in an area of the world that the US has big interest in. We can't simply ignore him. We have to deal with him or else let him run wild with his crazy ideas and possibly future actions that would greatly destabilize the region.
Gaddafi him.
• Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Thank you Dr. Veckman
There is only enough truth in his statements to have you believe all of his words. He has only one truth, he thinks it is his right to be the” leader” of Iran. Be patient, you will see his true colors once the "arrogant Americans" leave Iraq. This will not go well for any of the people around, or in, Iran. I am convinced he will dismiss his words about the rights of the people and how governments have no right to interfere when it's his position that will be challenged. Lately, we’ve seen this behavior time and time again from the Middle East “governments”. The only cooperation he's after with his neighboring countries is likely a cooperation of how those dictators can agree on a method to remain in power, not for those “leaders” to serve the people’s interests.
Arrogant americans? you people are the ones that feel all the world should be muslim....umm no thhat is true arrogance. stop repeating what your imam and Mullahs say with out thinking first. Oh wait! sorry I forgot who I was talking to..you don't think you just hate..
he is a fool, the quintisential court jester what a joke...narcisistic fool.
The real reason NATO intervened in Libya is because Libya has a great deal of oil just as we invaded Iraq for the same reason. I understand why the right-wing media wants to brainwash us into thinking that we're doing this to "help the poor downtrodden people" over there is that it works for the right-wing thugs in Washington and, unfortunately, it is only too successful at it!!!
small minded view... while I'm not going to say the motives are noble, there could be other reasons besides oil as well... could the fact that the old Libyan regime sponsored such wonderful historical events as lockerbie have something to do with it?
According to New York Times, Nato’s strike on Friday destroyed at least 11 of the vehicles, and apparently contributed to Colonel Qaddafi’s capture.
The convoy was leaving town, wasn’t engaged in a combat, hence it didn’t pose any security threat to civilians. This airstrike on the convoy was an act of targeted killings. Nato had overstepped its mandate and should be held to account. The fugitives could have been captured by the rebel fighters.
Fateh Bashagha, who was the link man for the NTC between Nato and the Misrata rebels. They arrived soon on the spot and “described a scene of mass destruction, with as many as 50 bodies scattered about and the charred remains of victims still sitting in the driver’s seats of the destroyed vehicles”.
Thank you, j. von hettlingen. That was well said.
Correction: The airstrike took place on Thursday morning!
EVIL should be destroyed by any and all means necessary, EXCEPT in the name of ANY god.
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT – WISH THE WHOLE WORLD UNDERSTANDS THESE CORE CONCEPTS OF DECEIT AND DESTRUCTION........
Your voice is even smaller than you think. If oil production was upped %2000, it would still take 300 years to pay back the war effort. If your blamming this on greed, it don't wash, waiting 300 yrs for a return on investment is a reason not to invade for oil.
ah, but you forget the immediate reward of military spending that occurs. That is a lot of money going to contractors and therefore Defense lobbyists are involved. Halliburton received HUGE amounts of money as a result of the wars. So did all the contractors and suppliers of military products. It has also employed a large military force. Our economy relies heavily on the military, and especially when it is busy doing "something", requiring resupply.
Stop! The newly liberated people of Libya aren't complaining, are they? America is NOT the enemy.
I just LOVE Ahmadinejad's words about "justice, freedom and respect – for all nations" and how he applies these principle to the nation of Israel... It is sad that the great Persian people have this pathological hateful liar as their President.
I wonder why so many people do hate the jews
More people hate muslims.......so go hide in a sewage pipe...
They are muslim that's all you need to know!
I think He has given some good advice to USA . USA policy maker needs to comprehend about it . Otherwise there is little time remains . Complete annihilation will be result . People around this world know about American double standard , people dont belief USA government . People in this world are much away ever before . How many times USA media can keep its people from knowing truth ? People in Iran are now better than under american ally shah . USA is creating chaos there with help of secular group .
That;s funny because there appears to be about as many Persians living outside of Iran than in Iran. I think it's safe to say that most Iranians who can afford to have already abandoned that cesspool of a country.
For all of you who cmment on the US, its "double standards" and how the evil US goverment "lies" to its people; You obvioulsy have no clue what "freedome" and "free press" means because you have never experienced it. the US is a truly exceptional country, the only one of its kind in the history of humanity so far. It created/recreated or influenced the creation of most modern Euopean democracies that function so well today; the US is the largset philantropical nation in the world (by FAR) giving the largest share of its GDP in the form of non-military aid to needy countries than ANY other country in the world. People still immigrate TO the US in m Uasses and not the other way around. That alone says that it is a country of exception. It's 100% UNLIKE any other country in the World and cannot be compared to them on almost any level. As ANY country does, the US takes care of its people's interests and operates a fine balance between its role as a UNIQUE country among many other countries and its role as the home of the American people.
But who are the American People? Iranians who fled the imam-nutjobs; Armenians (with almost as many Armenians in Los Angeles as in Armenia itself!); Mexicans/central Americans by the MILLIONS; etc etc.In short, the USA is an amalgam of the WORLD ITSELF and is run by its people, not just one family in perpetuity like 3/4 of middle eastern dictatorships. The US has its internal contradictions and mistakes but remains still the greatest continuous functioning democracy in the world and once again, the proof is that more people want to get "in" the US than "out".
and you still wonder why? The market speakes. You should listen and fix your own smelly little society before you hipocritically demonize the US, which is one helluva great nation and home to MANY who could not continue living in their homelands.
not very impartial are we? People really cannot just pull opinions about a country out of their bum unless you've personally lived there, had a chance to see how the local people really are..surely you have not been to Iran and yet you call it a cesspool....the places i have personally been to, if you show up and are willing to learn, be humble not announcing 'I come from America and you will serve me' and let the local people show you what their country is all about and the things that make them feel proud to be where they are from..guarantee your pre conceived thoughts about who is who will completely change...that is the nature of most people in other countries, they just want people to appreciate their culture or at least understand why they do.
hertznut: Im not calling the people of anywhere a cesspool, and no you don't need to go there to know what their recent history is, how they conduct business internationally (supporting murderous mafias like Hezbolah) etc. That Iran for example is an unseemly place that throws people in prison without trial and represses its young people into living their lives hidden from view is no secret and its no wonder that MANY countries "export" their citizens to the United States and not the other way around. My bias is based on facts and stats: the US is the greatest recipient of immigration in the world. the PEOPLE are speaking with their FEET while others type-away on the internet probably from the US, Canada or some other democracy where they CAN.
@impartial...just like you say they support "mafias" and factions, the U.S. can just as well be looked at as supporting the international drug cartels, as we have the largest population of drug addicts in the world and we are the ones who demand them – since you speak of the people specifically. The problems with any country is not the population but the governments who run the show...look, I am from Guatemala and the U.S did some holocaust type experiments there a few decades back, infecting people who had no clue what was going on with different STDs..maybe we're just better at hiding the atrocities we commit? I suppose we have to agree to disagree -
Stop lying to the world. You make out the US to be this godly nation when it truly is among the worst. People immigrate here based on the lies and misconceptions that they are told about it. For example, you can look as far back as the 20's, where people came to the US based on this "American Dream" that they have been told about. Once they came here, after a few years they realized that much of it was lies. The United States is one of THE MOST economically segregated nations in the world. Inter-class mobility is rare. The class you are born into (poor, middle, rich), is the class that 99% of Americans die in. On top of that, our media lies left and right to us. VERY FEW places elsewhere have a media so full of lies, half-truths, or just news with the sole purpose of influencing public opinion. The elite just don't like a pro-active populace. Remember reading about the 20's? Where the news (even if some was straightforward biased) showed facts. Factories had horrible working conditions? You can expect details about that. Dead mice were put in our food? YOU WOULD READ ABOUT THAT! If you look at some of the articles from back then, you would notice this pattern where the journalists would show themselves as middle men, where the articles they write would give the reader a sense of not being on either side. The government would be called out as is, but now you rarely see that. You don't see a straightforward, non-biased article that just gives facts, or if it is biased, it is clearly visible. Many of the articles that have something to do about the government in current times, go along with the government regardless of truth. You never see an article in disagreeing with government policy head on unless its an "opinion article". Best way to at least get a wider picture is to take US news and Syrian news (if the topic is about US and Syria, or if it's an american news article about Syria) and to read what both sides are saying. Instead all you see is this one sided, influenced view and you digest false news. The US isn't this beautiful nation you make it out to be.. it goes the extra mile and avoids many nations sovereignty to influence situations. Each nation has it's problems and should be left to it. Syria having political problems and people are dying? Let them take care of it. They are a sovereign nation and as such, other nations have NO right to step in and even voice an opinion ESPECIALLY how we are looking from the outside and not from the inside. A US ambassador was pulled from Syria because he showed support for the protesters and there was "viable evidence" that his life was in danger. First off, he had NO right to voice an opinion in that matter.. it simply is NOT OUR BUSINESS! He was an ambassador to Syria (aka the official government of Syria) for US interests, not an ambassador to the people of Syria. I can go on and on but you get the point
@Truth actually you can't go on. Because you know what your saying isn't the truth. You say that people have no right to voice an opinion about others, yet here you are voicing your opinion. On top of that you point out how alot of people come to America because of lies. Yet considering all the effort that those people go through, they don't put the same effort to go back, in fact they desperately try to stay. Why is that if its all a big lie? Sure its not all they were told but they must be finding something to want to stay and hide from deportation. As far as your statement about social stratification your right people don't move that often, unless their foreignors. Now why is that? Is it perhaps because making the change is really hard and people are lazy and delusional about what it takes to get rich? Humm, that might explain why foreignors who work so hard to desperately get here are able to make the move. Because they are willing to do what it takes because they don't have a safety net. Sure not all of them succeed, but more of them make that leap than Americans do, and its because they put in the effort. Americans generally don't because we but into the easy pie in the sky lies too.
Someone should give this guy a world history lesson. united state is run by the neocon(jews who support isreal) All major branches of this country is run by them.media, news, banks, hollywood, medical and goverment.How do you think obama became known to people.by jewish lobbyist who spend millions of $. to promote every next president. we are all slaved to very few multi billionair and we don't even know it. why do you think we are in afghanistan.Because there is about 3 trillion $. and more worth of lithium ion untapped and waiting to be mined. and also to protect a transafghan pipeline which suppose to carry natural gas to europe(not for humanitarian reason reason). So all these kids go there thinking that they are serving thier country, but the sad truth is that they go and get killed to benefit all these greedy organizations. With the help of us and its partners , saddam killed more than a million people in an imposed war on iran,he was given chemical bomb to use on iranian solders, but he also used it for his own kurdish people( check halabjeh. you'll see what i mean)despite all they advertise in school about anti bulling, america is bulling all these countries. I guess democracy, anti bulling and all the good things are good only for america.So if you put your bias aside and judge it from other nations prespective, us has been a bad boy who goes around and bully all these little kids, but iran is a different story. why. it is a long story and if you are intersted you can find out on your own( why us doesn't attack iran). BUt please don't rely on main sream media to give you the truth. Back to us good deeds,why don'd you name one country that was liberated by us. humanitarian aid is different that liberating a country. so don't tell me aids to these countries, since us also give isreal 3 $ billion aid a year and mostly in millitary aid to do their genocide job on palestinian. I wonder how would you react is someone came and told you that the house that you own your parents and back to 2000 yeargeneration does not belong to you anymore, and we are giving it back to indians and shipping you to mexico(that is what they did to palestinians). and at last please don't insult people of there nations. and go to youtube and see a short video of human rights history and see if that fits america and its policies. hope that peace be for all humans.
Do not Listen to hertz donut, i have been to Iran and i am american. Iran breeds hate. And american do not annouce themselves saying "serve me." No American would do that. You might get your head chopped off on the web! Iknow many persians. You can't go aday with out them saying persians are soo great. they are this and that blah blah blah.if and attractive brunette man or women is on TV or alking down the street they say "she is persian". It's really sad.Full of such hate. tthat is why they live miserable lives. they deserve it!
The trouble didn't start with America but we WILL end it. Ahmadinnijad is a puppet of the governing body in Iran and everybody knows it.
like I told my old jewish man "therapist"
you can have yo0ur hand in my purse and up my ass
but I'm not your puppet
I totally agree with the iranian president,the U.S need to stop meddling and tryin to destabilise the middle east.the leader of the world as they claim to be ought to be promotin peace in every corner of the globe not fighting wars and killing innocent lives.
Very well put, ihateimperialism. The U.S. soarly needs to revert back to it's old policy of Isolationism, which in fact, is an excellent idea whose time has come! In fact, had the U.S. stayed out of WW1, Germany would have won and there most probably would never have been a WW2!!!
If the US were siolationsist, many parts of the world would STARVE and fall apart because the US finances what little resources they have. NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD is as generous as the US in % of GDP donated in food and health programs and economic development. the US finances 40% of the United Nation's budget.
An Isolationist US would mean a world falling apart. You obvioulsy are capable with a keyboard but not very eductaed my friend.
Yes, so right...I think if we would just focus all of that "foreign aid" on our own homes we would be much better off and could easily lend the Iranians the same benefits as the Iraqis and Libiyans...a big zero. Sounds like a good plan.
I agree with you Aminidjad is right his country should stop interfering Israel and Lebanon by supporting Hezzbolah and should stop interfering in Iraq and Afganistan. And his country should stop threating the world by developing nuclear weapons for "peaceful purposes".
ihateimperialism..we hate Islamic fanaticall mureders/rapists anti-semites. go blow yourself up on a street someplace. Leave our people alone. You statred all these wars with you murderous outlook on westerners, you just can not take the fact Allah could not smash America. And he never will.
I seldom miss your insightful program.The last time ? when i had a Gout attack ,soooo painful ,even to watch the blue sky and wild birds of Utah.To day i am not going to watch G P S ,not for another torturous Gout attack,but some thing more painful.Something like to watch a cold blooded liar ,an undisputed ugly terrorist speaks and makes a fool of himself like always.Mr. Zakaria,Next time,instead of traveling thousands of miles to hear and see the king of liars,just take your family to some mountain side and watch the beautiful autumn and the colorful nature.There are many more beautiful things in this world and Ahmadi Nejad is not one of them.See you next week Sir.
Ah...someone who understands the important things in life. Enjoy your hillside, my friend.
Does anyone really care what this idiot "Ahmadinejihad" has to say? I sure don't, thieves and liars is all the Iranians are. And to the idiot who says the us only got involved in Libya for the oil? Hello? The us didn't get involved- when we want your stinking oil we WILL come get it fool! Go back to Pakistan you filthy rat!
if you don't care why u came here and comment. you obviously don't know anything about politics and what is going on around the world...ur judgment is based on what u watch on fox news....go back to school
Salaamalakuum brother Mohammad, in deed this Iran dictator is a hyporcite, but not all Iranians are liars and thieves.We have them all over the world brother.We have plenty in America.Brother if u say such things, you just became like him.Remove your arrogance and ignoirance my brother.And peace be upon you.Alhumdullah.
NO, BUT ALL IRIANS NNED TO BATHE BECAUSE THEY SMELL LIKE GOATS.
@Raheem
Agreed, he is preaching a double standard that is pretty amazing. But don't generealize about an entire country. It would be like me assuming your all rich white folk in america.
Never listen to words from a man with a little man complex.
Raheem: very true. It's the Iranian government, not its people that's a crimminal organization. There is proof...REAL prood that Iranian officials at the highest level were personally reponsible for organizing and carrying out the AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires in 1994 killing 150+ people. They did this because Argentina suspended cooperation on Nuclear research with Iran due to international pressure for terrorist sponsorship by Iran. Right now there is a high ranking Iranian goverment official who is IN the government and is wanted by Interpol together with 3 others.
It's not the lovely people of Iran; they cannot even question authority without getting imprisoned.
thats right man!! u said it! great comment!!!
well put..Allah could not have said it better himself or is it herself?? Ican never tell
He's just one less dictator, next one step forward...
Amen Prophet...(prophet ;0)
Since when is it the USA right to just pick and choose who are terrorists. I can tell you our founding Fathers are rolling in there graves because of today government and wicked politicians. This is not what they had envisioned. I just have to say I fill sorry for all these countries our government keeps invading. No wonder way we are so hated in the world now a days. So many innocent people have be killed. Just ask your selves would we like the Chinese to be doing this to us. Because soon they will if we can't stay out of debt from them. What a future for our children. I suggest getting on youtube and watching the girl who silenced the world for 5 minuets.
It's funny how all these Third-World people refer to You Tube as a "source" of "evidence" or "news". Literally the only morons who put any worth in un-filtered anything-goes social media are people who reside in non G-8 countries for the most part. How often do we read comments pointing ot "a web site" or "You tube" as proof of anything? It's really funny how these people are so gullible. It's probably why they are so easilt duped into doing their "leader's" bidding like Jihad or hating other people's faiths.
bingo...
Typical Fahreed. Being pulled around by the nose by that sorry excuse for a leader.
Ahmadinejad only granted the interview because he knows what a tool Fahreed is. No real journalist would waste their time on him. His statements are predictable, lack any grasp of reality because he is consumed by a world that is limited to his own thoughts. Everything that contradicts his point of view is invisible to him.
For those of you who believe Libya was about oil you are mistaken. The Libyan government that will be established will not be able to remove themselves fromt he contracts that have already been in place. The largest exporter for this oil is China, who didn't want intervention, because that would cause them problems obtaining this resource. On the whole, the only thing that the U.S. and any other NATO partners might receive are new contracts to find new sources. That's not even saying there is a chance it could be found. Any agreements that were made with NATO and the Libyan people cannot be enforced (i.e., French were offered 35% of all oil exports by the rebels). The new Libyan representative government cannot and will not cancel the previous contracts without adversely undermining their current relationships. It's time to stop the focus on oil as the main reason for the U.S. or any of the NATO countries to get involved. I wonder, how many of you would think the same way if you was in one these countries needing the support of the leading nations to help defend against a tyrant? Would you still make it an oil issue? I think not
Sds...if only we could silence you. You cannot speak for what the founding Fathers envision nor how they would react to today. There's no context in which you could have imagined the changes to this world would bring. Those same Fathers gladly accepted the aid by other super powers of the day (France ring a bell?). How about the fact that Hungarian cavalry troopers were present in the Union army during the civil war? You can't simply look at the cover of a book and expect to know the story. Same goes for what's going on in the world. Look a little deeper and find the truth. Think on this first and foremost...for every individual in another country that says they don't want or need us, there's one more that begs for our help. We are hated and loved the world wide and that's the truth. Just like we may like Britains, other countries won't. To sit back and do nothing is to reject who we are.
Why even listen to towel heads?
I agree .But why listen to the whinning beenie wearing so called chosen people as well ?
Because the chosen people had a nation called Israel, at one time, which was living under Roman occupation. Palestine was NEVER a nation and ALL the people in the ME should be happy its under consideration. Try to keep in mind, whose doing all the attacking over there and who is doing all the protecting.
Those so called chosen people are actually Khazarz not from Palestine ... In other words if you dont know the former ussr.
MY BAD THE WORD IS KHAZARS
he is scared this is going to happen in Iran
Never mind: Get behind ONE demand...
DEMAND ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS RESIGN –paparazzinc. c o m
Let it begin with the Democrats.
somebody should sit this guy down in a shower with some soap and shampoo. HE SMELLS LIKE A GOAT!!!!!!!!
Forgive me if I do not remember correctly but didn't his government kill some protestors a couple of years back?
remember kent state in America USA
if you don't
look it up
not so different after all
power corrupts people - I'm sure someome said that before me , and I'm sure they were right
I turned on CNN on Sunday and when I saw it was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad being interviewed, I changed the channel. I would have rather it had been Bozo the Clown being interviewed. At least that would have been humorous.
Bert, I can appreciate that sentiment. However, Mahmoud can be very entertaining with his tunnel vision view of the world. Plus he is one goofy looking SOB
Zakaria is a fool. Why interview a genocidal murderer who wishes to destroy the world. Don't give him a platform to open his wretched mouth and receive any attention. He is not to be given any fair treatment as if he is a valid opinion. May the Iranian fool's name be blotted out and his end the same as Gadhafi's and may Zakaria leave CNN and free us of his own foolishness and uneducated commentary.
Ahmadinejad:
Liar, racist, bully, not very smart.
I think Ahmadinejad is right to ask the United Nations and form a fact finding commitee to investigate those behind the mysterious September 11. There are rumors, since then, that Bush was among who planned the September tragedy to justify his plan to invade Iraq. Watch the video of what had happened to World Trade Center that those fire fighters were shouting that there were bomb explosion at the basement even before the second plane hit the other building.
See above
Yeah, those two video doctored planes flying into the buildings looked really fake. And Al Qaeda taking ownership for the Sudan embassy bombing, the USS Cole, and 9/11 looked pretty fake too. Bin Laden was actually Lou Diamond Philips in a fake beard and a turbin. Good thing Bush pulled this off, because gas has plummeted in price and we are benefiting so much from Iraq right now.
I'm suprised you can even type.... I really am.
Ah, that's right, everything is a Government conspiracy man! Ignore the facts, ignore scientific reasoning and stretch the crap out of half baked theories and then you will find the truth. 911 conspiracy theorists are the lowest form of life, I saw the planes go into the buildings, i heard bin Laden brag about his involvement (oh yah, i forgot, he is really a CIA operative, right) and not only do I know who did it, i witnessed the celebrations that went on in Gaza and the West Bank from the supporters of terror! (oh, I know, it was all a Hollywood set up, the celebrations never really happened).
oh yeah, it's the hitler excuse
Can't say anythi8ng bad about jews, they have their own defense league
so apparently when one or some of them provoke me to distrust and disgust
and I say something about it I'm in the wrong
I don't think so, this still America, I hope
i guess you think the holocaust was a fake too? You don't belong in a adult conversation...idiot
I still don't understand why various new organizations give this fool air time..He is nothing but a hypocritical, hateful, pathological lying puppet.
By that reasoning there shouldn't be televised debates, or CSPAN either. The sad thing is, in my life I've only ever met one politician who was ever honest. The only time he gets time with the Press is to slander him. Otherwise, he's been completely blacked out.
I guess we don't really value honesty, or any virtue for that matter...
That's so we can all witness it first hand, like jurors.
I can wait until the little Iranian dictator is begging for his life like Gadahfi. "you're sinning, your sinning"... Sure, we'll go with that.
"It was the will of the people that should work. ... justice, freedom and respect – this is the right of all nations."
..except Israel, apparently.
Agreed......................as long as the people are following the rule of law.
Guess you are on the wrong side then huh buddy? Go put on a robe and hide in a spider hole or sewer like ahmadinejad soon will....just like ghaddafy and saddam.....
jordan
when someone doesn't believe you, and or disagrees with you
they are not all "ghadafi and should hide in a sewerpipe"
you need to get over yourself, or under yourself or somethin'
What I don't understand is when we intervene, we are accused of hurting the situation but when we don't they blame us for the end result. Why not just bring our soldiers home and let them fight it out themselves and take care of our own.
yep let them kill themselves until there is none left1 The world would be better off
the dicktatorship of cnn can't tolerate points of view that don't match their own
can't print differing views
resorts to insult instead of debate
Maybe thats because you are an uneducated idiot whos rants make no sense because you are a dumb muslim who beleives what a reta rd like imanutjob tells you.....you better watch your mouth ...
jews can't buy steal or kill my soul
even the one's who pretend to be "healers"
Excuse me?? What exactly do you mean by that you re tar d?
what I exactly mean about that is
I was having some problems and I went to a therapist
who happened to be a jewish man
I was talking, trying to use words to werk out my problems- and he said, words have no meaning, also said, we don't have a soul. I would print his name, but he would just probably use it to get "famous", because as an art teacher I once had , who also happened to be a jewish man, told me, it doesn't matter if you're good or bad, as long as you can get attention for it. Need i say more, because I could, but I do have a life, inspite of them, not because of them.
Nice, why don't you really just come out with your agenda, your an anti-semite and a raving one at that, I suppose the Jews are responsible for all the worlds evils, own the networks (Ted Turners not a Jew you ass, neither is Rupert Murdock) and control the banks, your views worked well in WWII.
nobody wants your soul you moron, or any other part of your sorry self either
Why give a platform for this racist islamic murderer terrorist king? Put a bullet in his head like ghadaffi....he is wayy worse then ghadaffi was.....
jews are liars theives and killers too
To those who hate Isreal, youll sound like ingnorent people with there heads in your asses. If you think a God would let you kill with out punishmet...look how yall are living. Carma is a bitc
God, Israel, ..Yall???
Think i understand where this is coming from.
we can't talk with this knuckle head for two reasons – all he does is talk. he does not care to listen to anything any american has to say. and the second part is why; because he has no power. if he were to ask for a meeting the the religious leaders will smack him over the head and tell him to shut up. he has no power – fareed. you should know that by now.
Ahmadinejad is a nut job! he is a crazy radical leader who believes that the mahdi is coming to implent islam in the world?? hes crazy and will go down just like all the other leaders in the middle east. he hates jews and isreal and just like gadaffi who hated isreal and the jews he will get what he deserves. this man should be the last person talking about opression!!! he is one!! he is a opressive leader and will kill his people if they began an uprising in iran!! he is todays hitler plain and simple!! ppl got to realize there is good and evil in this world! he is evil!! plain and simple! god has used the u.s to keep nut jobs like this guy in check! if not for the us and there military presence in the world all of these crazy leaders will be taken over by radicals! they are already being taken over with us there what about when we leave??? it will just get worse! the arab spring and winter is not good and soon it will all explode in americas face!! im not sayin support the dictators but you have to handle it soon!! isreal will just kick all of there asses again! the arabs never learn always wanting land!! they just wanna destroy isreal not live in peace with them? i feel bad for all those ppl who think they have been liberated!! it will just get worse!! just watch i sed it first ppl!! (the lord is coming soon!) jesus!!
The fact is 9/11 originated from iran. GOD THE FATHER GOD THE SON GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT has just given you a revalations.
Hey mahmoud,
Watch your back, "ALLAH" does not favor rats like you.
I don't know about WWII
I'm talking about my life now- having had the misfortune of trusting the wrong doctor, wrong teacher, and believing a fake friendly theif who victimized me and my family; actually my family warned me not to be too trusting of people, but I had to learn the hard way. That all the victimizers happened to be jewish, can make a person wonder. About where they are coming from that would make it easy for them to act that way. This doesn't make me hitler, and my anger and distrust is justified. And if you don't post this, then you must be too afraid of something.
this statement eas in reply to prairie dweller, who is very paranoid
and anyway, why didn't they figh their own way out of concentration camps???
the haven't earned my respect yet, if & when they do, I'll let you know, because some peopole seem sooo concerned about my opinion!
no, really, I mean six million of them, and they couldn't come up with something? Come on.
Iran has to use the U.S. as a scapegoat to divert attention away from all their domestic problems and try to unify their crumbling society behind a truly evil government. Know who else did that? Nazi Germany.
oh god, another one to be slaughtered in front of cameras..sigh...i don;t even want to see what the Iranian mob will do to this one....rip moammar
Lets look at it this way, under the Ottoman Turks, the Middle East was occupied by a bunch of clanish tribes that fought each other over. After the Turks were kicked out the French and the British moved in...Middle East still occupied; just the names changed. Along the lines, some American company figured out there was a lot of oil there; oil=gas=$$$. So we have a people under colonial rule while another country is building oil wells and getting rich. After WWII, they had Isreal shoved on them...it goes from bad to Mexican from there. (thats the nickle version, I invite you to look it up yourselves)
So I can understand why the Middle Eastern countries are tired and paranoid of foreign intervention. Centuries of the Ottoman Turks, then the French and British while their land was being exploited by oil companies followed by a bunch of Middle Eastern dictators and warlords.
However, I see Ahmadinejad as doing his best to villainize the US, whether its a down right lie or half truths; someone is going to believe it. Lenin said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth".
I see him doing a power play to make the US so bad, at any cost, so that the US citizens and the world will start doubting and fearing the US thus making the US less effective at home or overseas.
My thoughts. Draw your own conclusions.
Learn how to spell Israel you fool.....
i agree with paul in principle. Try to imagine if somebody drop another civilization on kansas and made everyone who lived there leave. It's impossible to imagine but that's exactly what happened in this case. Is anybody really shocked that palestinians are conducting direct and indirect military action against the israeli's growing borders. Its obscene and we shouldn't be supporting it in terms of government policy. The UN security council has already outlawed the israeli government's policys on expansion but nobody listens. If that happen in america, I would be out there fighting back as well.
Revolutions are bloody undertakings for all parties involved.
Look, the truth is that Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Assad, and all the other tyrant monkeys in mens' suits will eventually meet their just end like our friend Gaddafi did. It's the will of the people no matter who interferes. And like I've said before, the only reason some of you are allowed to voice your opinion freely is because you can do it through this website which is run by us arrogant Americans. Would your pal Ahmadinejad let you say this on his state-run websites? Why not?
Your country was best friends and sold weapons to Gadhafi until just recently.
Your country sells weapons to a lot of "mad men" as you would say.
Google: Crimes committed by the CIA.
We should use an opportunity like this to either take him out or grab him and throw him in jail for crimes against humanity. We'll have wished we did years from now....or months. Aside from that, this a$$monkey doesn't deserve an audience.
exactly
AN infant in an adult world, stupid, meaningless, and delusional...the ken lay of government leaders...pointless insignificant d0uche b@gg.
All I know is this: Amademababbalabba looks great in those glasses. He can pack my fudge any day. He can push my stool. He can travel down the Hershey highway. He can get poop d**k. A** to mouth. I'm down!!!
C'mon people, every time Amadinajar opens his mouth it always proves what a nut job he is for sure. He is such a clueless towel head.
i dont see anything stupid or star wars in his response...why is it that US journalist forget the integrity of their jobs and become propagantists? and i thought you hated communism because of that. this jourmalist who used to be an objective man just lost his respect in my eyes, this is sad. hate or like him, this guy speaks his mind and lots of things he says are truth that the west dotn want to see and the population too indoctrinated to even start to comprehend...
If you think ahmadinejad speaks truth or anything that makes sense then you are an idiot of the highest order....you best go back to tehran...maybe the regime will kill you for speaking up or peacefully protesting.....you are a dumb ars...
proof that you cant think, you have to insult what doesnt think like you. you sir/ma'am are a sad excuse of a human being anf who told you i was from teheran? i stick to my view, and keep yours. they are opinion, just like anus, we all have one and noone seem to think theirs stinks.
USA = mad because Iran has lots of oil and kicked out the US during the revolution.
Oh, are you another one of those conspiracy theory nuts?
At this point in history, there is no moral or financial value in the united states having a garrison in the middle east. our only "ally" is israel and the saudis. At this point, israel offers the american people who pay the bills nothing of value. To take the idea on step further, I would like my country to end all ties with ME countries beyond simple commerce. I would rather we develop alternative energy and the independence to not have to "stabilize" other governments. I agree with ron paul on 2 notions and only 2. Audit and federalize the private bank known as the FED. 2. Pull out of the affairs of other nations and bring those resources and monies back to taking care of our country. We maintain bases every where. This is a role for nato not us. And we should be paying for this in our current financial state. Sorry military contractors, youll have to rob somebody else, we are fresh out.
If you think Israel provides nothing of value then you better educate yourself as you are ignorant to the world and the security of the US....
what do they offer us? and how? explain in detail. my patience for catch phrases and other nonsense is short. and if you can't come up with something of value then i expect an apology james.
Americans pay the bills????? the US provides 3 billion a year to Israel which is spent BACK IN THE US....thats the deal.....so once again you have no idea what you speak of........go look into how much is going to pakistan, China, hamas, etc......man you are pathetic....
so in other words, you have nothing salient to offer except your passioned opinion about why the american people should remain in this useless alliance. Or why we should send 3-8 billion a year to israel depending on what budget forecast you look at. It's takes a mensch to apologize when one comes up short on facts and long on ideology.
You are the one short on facts....and telling by the way you write, in height as well.....it seems like you are suffering from small man syndrome like your buddy ahmadinejad...who will soon be hanging from a pole...
Shakespeare would say methinks the lady doth protest too much. I ask a simple question and look at your answers. Name calling. heheheh. How about a simple response. The alliance does a b c d and works for both because and a few links backing up your notion. Wouldn't it be nice to have a regular conversation about a subject that isn't obvious in any way. give that shot fella or maam as the case may be.
MCJNY, do you know how many technological advances in medicine, weaponry, writing, etc Israel provides to the US?? Israel has the highest number of nobel prize winners per capita in the world...even though there are 14 million in Israel and a billion muslims??? Do you know Israel is one of the only countries the US can trust in the mid east, do you know that Israel stores American weapons? Did you know Israel houses American radars? Did you know that Israel is the front line to muslim terrorism that would spread worldwide if not for Israel? Did you know Israel provids anti terrorism training to the US military? Did you know Israel has created the most advanced missile defence shield in the world? Shall I go on???? My patience for idiots like you and your nonsense is short...maybe try studying up on topics before you write may avoid you looking like a complete ignorant loser......
So we should stay in this alliance because israel is a garrison of the us? We don't need them. And we certainly don't need the nonsense and strife that they are creating just to have a trusted garrison. Please feel free to link data on the patents that israel gives to the us and how those patents help the american people? If you love israel, great. But I and other americans are starting to ask a good, smart questions about the nature and value of this alliance.
Trust? Trust to do what? use our country as a big bully to continue their ruthless and bloody expansion? Sorry you 2 but your argument is weak at this level of data exchange. If you have more than your angst that I don't know about the "immense" value that israel has for america, then feel free to make salient, verified points.
Actually, the majority of the US including congress supports Israel......maybe you should go to iran....?
A garrison? What are you 99 years old? No, its because it is the only democracy in the mid east surrounded by a cesspool of terror.........the difference between good and evil.........
so the israelis are saving america from terrorism. Ok interesting. How? You know when people get so touchy and emotional about what appears to be a logical discussion, my bs meter starts beeping. These are interesting ideas now put together a little information. save the insults and enlighten the rest of us with your intimate knowledge of the strategic value of isreal to the US in the modern day. would a please help?..Please..there you go. Now on to a logical discussion, shall we?
Israel created the most advanced missile shield? I guess that's why we violated our own policy to ship them Patriot systems?
The day I apologize to an idiot like you is the day pork flies into your muslim mouth.....
When will ahmadinejad go the way of ghadaffi? He has killed more of his people and supports terrorism worldwide....I would love to see him hanging from tehran square....
There is and never been TEHRAN Square.
MCJNY, its 3 billion......you are now lying like a muslim....it must hurt when you have no argument.........
Why would any responsible "journalist" give this kook access? The vast majority of Iranians don't believe a word he says, he gives terrorists a bad name.
Should I be missing something here? Ahmadinejad is talking about liberty, freedom, and blah blah blah when just 2 years ago after he fraudently won the election in Iran. People were crowded in the streets of Tehran and he was killing all of them and acting just like Assad of Syria is now. This guy is a total hypocrite if you ask me.
The Muslim Leaders of Iran, the Ayatollas, tell this puppet President what to say, and what not to say, to alay our fears that his 'science project on how to make a mushroom cloud' will never prove out.
HIs hatred of us, blinds him to the fact, that the Holacaust existed... He is still fighting the Crusades from yester-years.
Its a proven fact, that Muslims can 'lie' to anyone, if it furthers thier advancement of Religion, and the Iranian President is doing that nicely. (Sorry, cant remember all the alphabets in his name, so I refer him as Iranian President–>Old age is taking my spelling abilities away slowly). Or, I could refer to him as "I'm a nutjob", Jay Leno style LOL...
We cant 'nuke' Iran and make a glass ash tray out of the place, but, Im sure, when they get the combination wrong, and nuke themselves out of existence, everyone will blame the United States, cause we didnt help them in thier endeovor.
If the Muslims Extremist werent so full of hatred for the United States, and all the good we have done in the World, then, we will have to meet them at 'thier door', and extinguish thier lamp, and leave them upon the cold dead sands of time.
I wish you well...

TRUE DAT
You disagree with foreign intervention yet you want to be the only one that these countries listen to, you want to advise them? All this man and his masters want is what they want of their people, ZERO dissent.
And they're willing to do whatever it takes to get it.
Somebody PLEASE introduce this guy to some soap and water. After he got out of the elevator at the UN on his last visit to spread more lies and hatred, the entire elevator smelled like a herd of goats had been there. President ahmedsmelli should also visit a tailor and get a decent suit. What a totally classless piece of crap!!
Who can actually sit down with this moronic lunatic and actually expect him to honestly answer questions? He lost his election. The Iranian people soundly rejected him. But he had the guns and he was willing to kill the innocent to stay in power.
His Quaddafy photo-op moment is coming - and not a moment too soon.
I was suggested this website by means of my cousin. I am not certain whether this submit is written by him as no one else know such special approximately my difficulty. You're incredible! Thanks!
