He said, "God sent His Prophets (PBUT) to mankind with pure logic and divine teachings, the last of whom was Islam's Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but there are today unfortunately oppressive powers in the world that either do not grasp the essence of prophets' message, or do so, but ignore them, paving the path of ignorance, darkness, oppression, and unethical ways of life."
He added, "I wish to send a message to these oppressive powers on behalf of you, and the entire Iranian nation, asking them to get back to the path put before them by the prophets, that is the path of divine guidance, justice, friendship, and being faithful to the covenants they have vowed with their nations."
Ahmadinejad warned the oppressive powers, "Beware! If you do not get back to this path; if you do not end your oppressive methods; if you do not keep on looting the other nations and try to keep on imposing your illegitimate hegemony over other nations, you will face the destiny of the past tyrants in history, that is none but death, and downfall for yourselves, and wretched lives for your nations." Further addressing the oppressive powers, Ahmadinejad said, "Today you selfishly and arrogantly insist on halting the path of nations' progress, including Iran, resorting to telling lies to the world public opinion and even cheating your own nations."
Add to this the fact that Syria has become Iran's tame attack dog, slavishly tagging along their master's heel, and I think we have a problem. Just why is Syria suddenly talking tough about Israel and preparing for war?
And preparing for war in a very unusual manner, I might add. Syria is preparing a Hizbollah-style fight where missiles are used to bombard Israel while irregulars try to tie down Israeli forces along Syria's border without risking the rickity Syrian regular army formations.
This is a war strategy that relies on somebody else to attack Israel while Syria buys time until the Israeli threat is eliminated by that senior war partner. Normally, I'd think that perhaps the Syrians expect the international community to step in, though Saddam's lesson probably means Syria won't rely on the UN to save it. So somebody with real power has to have that role. That means Iran. And since only nukes give Iran that power, I have to worry what is coming down the pike.
I've mentioned this before. Just what is the entrancing nutball up to?
I personally don't think Ahmadinejad will give us the option of resolving this nuclear dispute diplomatically.
