[Iran Press TV] A senior Iranian military commander says US President Barack B.O.Obama should be the pioneer of putting his predecessor George W. Bush on trial.
"The current president of the United States should be pioneer in putting Bush and his criminal colleagues on trial. Otherwise, he will be named as a criminal along with Bush and (former British Prime Minister Tony) Blair," said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi on Wednesday.
The time is ripe for the American and British people as well as Mohammedan countries to separately file complaints against Bush and Blair at international courts, he added.
He stated that the Islamic awakening in the region has proved that Washington's warmongering policies have failed.
Firouzabadi further emphasized that the US should pull out its forces from the region.
Regional nations are seeking to establish an Islamic democracy, Firouzabadi said, adding that there is no room for the US, Britannia and Israel in the region.
"An Islamic region can have a peaceful coexistence with the West; Westerners should not be deceived by the Zionists and endanger future peace," the Iranian commander concluded.
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has swept across the Arab world.
