 President Mohammad Khatami on Saturday criticized the latest proposal on reforming the structure of the United Nations. Speaking at a gathering of officials of the Hajj Organization, he added, "We all are in favor of changing the UN Charter, on the condition that the reforms would benefit the oppressed and be targeted to correct the unjust rules and regulations. However, the proposal as its stands now favors the hegemonic powers, who, under the guise of UN provisions, can perpetrate their unfettered acts of aggression."
| In other words, the successful states of the world aren't willing to give up power to the "oppressed," with their penchant for failed states... |
These nations are bent on pushing through the changes in order to carry out their occupation and impose their will on others, which is not acceptable, Khatami stated.
| "We don't need none o' that 'individual freedom' stuff here." |
He also expressed doubt that the proposal would be accepted by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
| Kofi has his own affection for failure at the state level, and he's perfectly happy to see the "oppressed" remain just the way they are. |
All the freedom-loving people of the world should unite and present proposals to reform the UN for the benefit of humanity and justice and not to favor powerful countries, the president emphasized.
| All of those powerful countries, of course, became that way strictly by accident, at the expense of the Oppressed™... |
