"Disparate views on capitalism aired at UN; Iranian calls for new order" by Edith M. Lederer, Associated Press | September 22, 2010
UNITED NATIONS — Iran’s president yesterday predicted the defeat of capitalism and blamed global big business for the suffering of millions, but Germany’s chancellor said market economies were key to lifting the world’s least developed countries out of poverty.
The kind the globalists are practicing is destroying itself.
And he is right about global big business.
The clash of visions at the UN antipoverty summit drew a line under stark differences on how to help 1 billion people living on $1.25 or less a day.
More than 140 presidents, prime ministers, and kings are attending the three-day summit that started Monday to assess and spur on achievement of UN targets set by world leaders in 2000.
I bet they ate good, too.
Anyone else find it ironic and insulting that these people are considered to be looking out for the masses?
If this were true why is the world in such shape?
They have had so long to get it right, those intelligent geniuses running the planet.
The plan called for an intensive global campaign to ease poverty, disease, and inequalities between rich and poor by 2015.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, however, never mentioned the Millennium Development Goals in his speech to the General Assembly.
Instead, he took aim at capitalism and called for the overhaul of “undemocratic and unjust’’ global decision-making bodies dominated by the United States and other Western powers.
The criticism has merit.
While Ahmadinejad didn’t single out any country, he said world leaders, thinkers, and global reformers should spare no effort to make practical plans for a new world order — reform of international economic and political institutions....
That's where I stopped reading it.
I'm sorry I am unenthusiastic and sick of this slop, dear readers.
Only giving you what they are giving me.
"US vows to keep pressure on Iran" by Associated Press | September 21, 2010

That's because we serve Israel.

"Hiker held in Iran begins return to US
MUSCAT — An American woman released from Iran after more than 13 months in custody began her journey back to the United States yesterday after asking her supporters to “extend your prayers’’ to her fiance and another American man who remain in Tehran accused of spying. In a brief statement, Sarah Shourd thanked Oman — an ally of Iran and the United States — for mediating the $500,000 bail that led to her freedom earlier this week.

"Iran’s leader proposes prisoner swap with US; Wants 8 freed in thanks for hiker’s release" by John Pomfret, Washington Post | September 20, 2010
WASHINGTON — As a US woman who was held in Iran for more than 13 months on spying charges returned home, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said yesterday that the United States should now release eight Iranians who he said were illegally arrested.
Yeah, the innocent people we dump into black site holes are no problem.
The stench of AmeriKan MSM hypocrisy will knock you unconscious.
At a news conference in New York, Sarah Shourd made her lengthiest comments since her release Tuesday. Shourd said she and two men detained with her never spied or committed any crime, calling their arrest “a huge misunderstanding.’’

Shourd said she was grateful to be back but felt only “one-third free’’ because her fiancé, Shane Bauer, and their friend Josh Fattal remain imprisoned in Tehran....
You know, I don't care. I'm sorry.
Shourd did not criticize Iran for jailing her for more than a year. Instead, she praised the Iranian government and Ahmadinejad for her “compassionate release.’’
She must have been tortured.
Better than we treat our "guests," AmeriKa.
Iranian border guards arrested Shourd, Bauer, and Fattal in summer 2009 after allegedly wandering into Iranian territory. Shourd said yesterday that the trio had gone hiking at an Iraqi waterfall and that if they had crossed a border, it was unmarked.
Such a weak excuse of a cover story.
Subsequently they were all indicted in Iran on charges of espionage. Shourd denied those allegations: “We committed no crime, and we are not spies.’’
Yup.
The hikers’ case has heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran even as the Obama administration has sought to further pressure Iran to abandon what the United States suspects is the nation’s nuclear weapons program.
During the “This Week’’ interview, Ahmadinejad said his country is ready to discuss the nuclear issue. “I think we will have a plan to discuss things,’’ he said.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in another interview with ABC, said the enhanced sanctions against Iran were beginning to have an effect. “The Iranian regime is quite worried about the impact on their banking system, on their economic growth,’’ Clinton said....
She really is a Hitlery.
