Springtime For A’Jad in Teheran
Highlights of that remarkable interview with a hijab’d Diane Sawyer, linked earlier but too good not to be cherrypicked. Ahmadinejad, a lover not a fighter, says:
“We have spring weather in Iran. I hope it will be spring all over the world.”
“We shy away from any kind of conflict and any kind of bloodshed, and we will be sad by such. We are opposed to any kind of conflict and as we have said repeatedly we think the world problem can be solved through the use of logic and a sense of friendship. There is no need for the use of force.”
“When it come to Iraq, we have made it clear that kind of lack of security, insecurity in Iraq is also to our disadvantage and also disadvantage to the nations of the region.”
“Americans have made a mistake in Iraq and unfortunately are losing, and this is a shame for Americans of course and that’s why they are trying to point their fingers to other people and pointing fingers to others will not solve the problem. I think that we should be honest and face the reality.”
“Anyone who gets killed in Iraq will make us sad no matter from which religion they are. Can American close their long borders? … No, we are opposed to any conflict and also the presence of foreign forces in Iraq, and that’s why we are opposed to the Americans. We tell them leave the country and no other foreigners should be in Iraq, then you see that you have peace.
“I do not know what you mean by militia.”
“Iraq has got its own constitution. It’s got its own parliament. It has got a democratically elected president, and I think they should be in charge.”
“We are opposed to any proliferation of WMD and nuke weapons … It is a time for logic and rationality. And for civilization. We are trying to find new ways to love people.”
“When you heard death to America slogans, I think you know it yourself, it is not related in any way to American public.”
Gateway compares the deep thoughts of Ahmadinejad with his hero, Adolph Hitler. Separated at birth!
