Syria-Lebanon-Iran
'US enemy of all humanity'
2008-03-15
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday labelled the United States “enemies of all humanity” because of Washington’s military tactics in the Middle East and support for Israel.

“They are not just the enemies of Islam they are enemies of all humanity,” Ahmadinejad told a press conference on the sidelines of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference summit in Dakar.

Asked about US military tactics in the Middle East including the presence of US warships off the coast of Lebanon, the Iranian leader said: “These measures don’t show their power, they show their weakness.

Hostilities: Attacking women and children doesn’t show authority or power.” Ahmadinejad also said he believed the dispute with the United States and its western allies over Iran’s nuclear programme was over but that hostilities would continue. “We believe that as far as the law is concerned the nuclear dispute is finished but that the hostilities with these countries will continue,” Ahmadinejad told the press conference.

#8  Y'know, maybe it's not such a bad idea. We can spend a year or two developing some "clean" nukes - 50 or 60 thousand of them - and just wipe out all the cities of the Earth with them, killing the majority of their population at the same time. Then we can start all over and maybe end up with some SANE inhabitants, especially in the Muddled East.

#6  swksvolFF: That was a great opportunity!

Catching someone who is calling the US a police state can be a blast.

Start out by saying: "You! Citizen! Stop!", then demand to see their papers. If they ask why, tell them that YOU are asking the questions.

Usually they will soon start to object, so you can snap at them "Do you know that if you do not answer my questions, what can happen to you? Do you expect to be arrested, beaten, tortured, and shot in the head in a basement for speaking out against your nation?, CITIZEN!"

"Of course not. I am NOT a secret policeman, and this is NOT a police state. But you *ARE* a dumbass! Enjoy freedom while you've got it, you stupid SOB!"

#4  What have the Americans Romans ever done for us?

BTW, what has modern Iran done for the world? [Other than the usual death and destruction and trying to drag it back to the 8th century]

#1  OK, anyone else getting really tired of this rhetoric?

Reminds me of a 'little encounter' in Colorado - outside havin' a smoke and the guy, trying to impress a gal, kept talking in an obviously fake accent about how much a police state the US is. I thought, if so, he would not be stating his 'anti-government' folklore with a total stranger there next to him so I ask, "What is it which makes the US a 'facist police state' where I can ask you that question. Reply: George Bush's policies (long story short, best most coherant part of the conversation).

Besides, just yesterday we read about a sgt and his juliet having to be bundled out of Iraq because the neighbors just would not understand; never said if she was sunni or shia IIUC.
