It’s unfathomable that heads of state can run around the world saying things like this and the leftist elite in Europe and America condemn it with hand slaps and “sanctions”. Oh yea and Obama wants to have “talks without preconditions” with these people…unreal.
In his Friday, May 1, 2009 sermon at the Tehran University campus, Interim Tehran Friday prayer leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami criticized Washington for its call for talks with Tehran, saying, “The Iranian nation is the same nation that put all options of (former U.S. President George W.) Bush under table and into history’s dustbin. (U.S. President Barack) Obama is now toeing Bush’s line regarding Iran.”
Khatami, an Iranian Assembly of Experts member, also encouraged the Arab world to cut ties with Israel, warned certain Arab leaders over their efforts to maintain close relations with it, and said that the Arab world must realize that should Israel gain power, it would not hesitate to occupy other countries in the region.
In further comments on U.S.-Iran relations, Khatami said: “Praise to the Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran] who said, ‘If America was a human being, we would talk with it’ – but you are not human beings, and this is the same nation it was 30 years ago… and therefore say: ‘Death to America!’”
