little it of arrogance, wouldn't you say?
"Iranian leader says US should apologize" by Nazila Fathi and Alan Cowell, New York Times | January 29, 2009
TEHRAN - A day after President Obama struck a conciliatory tone toward Iran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged Washington yesterday to apologize for its actions toward his country for the past 60 years and said it was unclear whether the new administration was merely shifting tactics or wanted real change.
I'm tired of the Zionist spin, folks, I really am!!
Is it conciliatory to tell the 'enemy" to unclench his fist?
Last time I checked, it was NOT IRAN that is FIRING MISSILES and DROPPING BOMBS on people and KILLING THEM!! Nor have they INVADED ANYONE LATELY -- unlike BLOODTHIRSTY USrael!!!
But in a speech in the western city of Kermanshah, he did not explicitly rebuff the American president's gesture. "We are waiting patiently," he said, referring to the policies of the new administration in Washington. "We will listen to the statements closely, we will carefully study their actions and if there are real changes, we will welcome it."
I think the Iranians know just as well as we do, readers, that they are going to be disappointed!
Obama, in his first television interview at the White House since taking office, said that it was important to be willing to talk to the Iranians, both to express differences and to explore "where there are potential avenues for progress."
"And as I said during my inauguration speech, if countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us," Obama said in the interview with Al Arabiya television that was broadcast on Tuesday.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also said Tuesday that Iran had a "clear opportunity" to engage with the international community.
Or what, Hitlery? They'll be obliterated?
Ahmadinejad said yesterday that the "slogan of change was good, but it could be of two kinds - a fundamental change or a tactical one," the official IRNA news agency said. It would soon become clear, IRNA quoted the Iranian leader as saying, whether Obama's comments were "just a change in tone."
"Change means that they should apologize to the Iranian nation and try to make up for their dark background and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation," he said in the speech broadcast live on Iranian television.
I AGREE!!! We owe NOT ONLY the Iranians, but the Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis, Africans, hell, we owe the world an apology, folks!!
For TORTURE if nothing else!
The catalog of crimes, Ahmadinejad said, stretched back decades, beginning with US support for the 1953 coup that ousted the democratically elected government of Mohammed Mossadegh and installed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who ruled until he was ousted in the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Bush Authorizes New Covert Action Against Iran
"[An] act of terrorism, means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping."
"The hope that Iranians will blame their own government for their hardships, and that their complaints will influence the regime"
Are we CLEAR?
The LEAST you could do, 'bamer, is CALL OF the AMERICAN TERRORISTS!!!!!!!
