Ahmadinejad 'proud' of angering West over Holocaust denial

just becoz a few thousand CIA incited Iranians were involved in demonstrations, the western (incl Aussie) were quick to report that the elections were rigged. The fact remains that 90% of Iranians voted him in, how could a massive fraud involving millions of votes be committed? More of western's media propaganda and Zionist conspiracy to discredit the Iranian leadership. you want democracy but u cannot accept decisions that go against your wishes. Same thing when hamas won in Palestine. In democracy, the popular leader wins. Even idiots and murderers like George Bush can become President. Go Figure. He just said that the holocaust was a myth, yet you want his head and asked that Iran be nuked. Why dont you nuke Germany? BTW some say what Hitler did was justified, more of that later.

Before you accuse others of human rights violations,look at your track record first. What has happened to your aborigines? You voted in a clearly rascist MP and constant harassment of Asians in Ozzieland. The Chinese has a saying: when you point a finger at somebody, 3 other fingers are pointing at you. I dont rely on only biased western media when making an assessment. Ppl that I know who are in Iran are saying that 90% of the ppl loves him, so why shud he rig the elections? Same thing happened in Palestine, Hamas won but u dont acccept it. U want democracy but u chose to accept which result is beneficial/convenient to you. Wake up,its all abt money,not human rights or justice. Give the Palestinians back their land if u want justice.

You say "How do you know the Iranian elections were rigged? How do you know the Australian`s was not rigged?" Read-Iran election a fraud, says Nicolas Sarkozy (See http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25649133-601,00.html ) Read Australian Foreign Affairs Minister, Stephen Smith states "It is now crystal clear that there are very grave doubts about the result so far as the Iranian election is concerned" "We are very gravely concerned about the very serious breaches of human rights we have seen." See http://www.smh.com.au/world/election-recount-after-more-violence-20090616-cgkg.html In Australian elections both opposition & government scrutineers are able to oversee electoral vote counting. Not so in Iran. This is proof positive that electoral fraud is institutionised in Iran. The problem is not "Haliburton". Ahmadinejad, the "proud" liar, can do the Muslim world far more damage.

Hi Micheal,I was quoting the recent speech by Mr Ahmadinejad at the UN where he quoted 'certain political interests have been used to plunder national wealth of countries for the benefit of a group of corrupt business giants.' But if you ask me the first name that comes to mind is Haliburton, in which Cheney has/had an interest together with the Bushes. There were many other companies who benefitted from the plunder of Iraq, esp the arms suppliers. Looks like these companies wants more,and by looking at the propaganda that are going on, Iran is the next target. BTW who has the right to have nuclear power? its ok for the US. India, Russia, Israel but not Iran or North Korea? Why the double standards? The US has killed more people after the WAR and everybody else put together. How do you know the Iranian elections were rigged? How do you know the Australian's was not rigged? Is it because Iran is a Muslim country and does subscribe to US's corrupt ideology. Read the speech, man.

While it's entirely possible the recent Iranian election were rigged, there's no doubt that tens of millions of Iranians voted for the present regime. What we don't know is the attitude of the opposition voters to Israel. I surmise that no opposition protestors would dare to parade placards saying 'Leave Israel Alone' or words to that effect. But we don't know what they're really thinking on Israel. I wouldn't take a chance of any kind on facing a nuclear Iran.

The "group of corrupt business giants" wouldn't be the corrupt Islamist extremists who rig elections, control Iran against the will of the people and use petro dollars to support anti-Jewish/anti-Israel terrorism while perpetuating horrific poverty, Khalid? You haven't said who you think these "group of corrupt business giants" are. Come on Khalid, cough it up, speak your mind...

People, listen or read what this intellectual says, he's one smart cookie.be open minded pls: The End Of Capitalism Video and Transcript: Ahmadinejad Speech at the UN General Assembly 9-23-09 By President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad We have all seen that how the inequitable economic structures controlled by certain political interests have been used to plunder national wealth of countries for the benefit of a group of corrupt business giants. http://rs6.net/ tn.jsp?et= 1102726374430&s=83317&e=001M7g7spVacDtmOq -Kb5K7VVQPcH4Btf ypwoWQjJXogIWstM -2h3lR1driEf06Ra i15rMNCNidRlpE1v GlKiKAJ9JnUWEbUq MTyjacL5egz7GO9- sj0FDZg6TA1zV_ fq2hMxUzYC4Gof76 RLRzZBpN3VSk5mhs XdSS

the guy was expressing his opinion(if that is what he said, with the media spins by the powers that be, one never know). You cant express your opinion now? where's the so 'called freedom of speech'? Everybody is after his head for what he purportedly said. Did it kill anyone? is is fair to kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, muslims and non muslims alike. Why are people not after the real murderers who plundered innocent women and children in the name of non-existent WMD. How quickly do we forget. Who killed the Jews in Germany? Did the Muslims do it or the Aryans aka KKK? Wake up people.I don't expect my comments to be published.thank you if u do.

Where are Carter and Tutu? Hopefully trying to raise the world's consciousness about Israel's crimes to the same level of world condemnation that accompanies Iran.

A confident prediction is they wont be loudly or even quietly condemning him

One must remember that in the Arab world, the perception of the truth is more important than truth. Ahmadinejad want to get the Arab masses to believe him- the actual truth is irrelevant. Whether most Iranians do as well is a bonus for A-Mad.

It is not only shameful for Ahmadinejad but a question mark for all Democratic Countries. A willful denial of such a henious crime is beyond imagination and abuse on the face of the humanity. We Indians have never known anti-semitism in our Land and co-extisted with our Jewish Brothers & Sisters for 2000 years.

the sad part of being a fool is that you may not be aware you are a fool which is the worst form of being a fool. it is a pity that so many smart people have to be led by fools. how much better we would all be if it were not so. these fools are for the most part dictators. they would not be able to servive in a true democracy for very long. the damage they do to their own people is bad. they also stick their long noses into the affairs of other peoples that make for problems there,too. in time, it takes a war to unseat these fools with great loss of people and property. there ought to be a better way all around.

where did he get his education??? where ever it was the family must have paid a good price for it? other ways he wouldn't pass the kindergarden:))))

how long we have to put up with this idiot? sambody in the Muslim world will get him I know and Sooon!! in Shalla!!

What a big baby Ahmadinejad is! A joke that the last laugh will be on him!

Everything I read about what this man says is always how he "denies the holocaust", which, in fairness, sets him up as a man who says none of it ever happened. Is that really what he said or did he suggest that it has been exaggerated for political use--which, while very argumentative, is slightly different and should at least be engaged in a debate. But my real point is that this clearly far-out fellow is not being a fair reading--which is what we usually accuse him of being responsible for.

The condemnations of the governments which have have first hand knowledge of the Shoah are both appreciated & predictable.They all know the extent of this most documented event of the 20th century.For years,the Muslim world has repeatedly denied the existence of the Holocaust & made that denial part of their propaganda.Currently we see Muslim groups living in Western nations demanding that school programs which include Holocaust study be removed as "offensive" to them.Sadly some western governments have caved & complied out of "sensitivity" to Muslim "feelings".Pres Obama asks the Muslim world for some nod towards Israel,here's an idea why not ask them to denounce Holocaust denial in all forms & publically concede that the Holocaust is a fact of history & secure a pledge from them to refrain from using such denial for their own purposes.I doubt the west will make that request not wanting to "offend" the Muslim world.So expect more of the same from Iran & nodding approval from Muslims

Congratulations ahmedinejad, you've joined your country with the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, White Aryan Resistance, Church of the Creator and neo-nazi parties all over the world. But what I wonder is if the majority of the Iranian people you purport to represent feel happy that you've done so. The only reason you're in power in the first place is because you rigged the recent election in Iran. Now you're making your position even more tenuous blathering your filth of anti-semitism - not just anti-Israelism. We'll see how long you'll stay in power - the sooner your people overthrow you, the better. After all, with your deplorable human rights record you're worse than the Shah was. And you continue to isolate Iran internationally with your ignorant comments - seems to me not only are you a racist, you're stupid as well. You're digging your own grave.

I like watching the chimp rattle on to cheers from the crowd. It shows the true nature of Israels enemies 1)They believe lies. 2)They have unrepentant hatred for all Jews. 3) They can't be reasoned with. It gives Israel an absolute right to deal with its enemies any way it sees fit. Israel should disregard world opinion and do what it must to safegaurd its country and citizens.

I would like to cogratulate president Obama the swiss president and the u.n human rights in Geneva for giving this man an international stage to speak from .I did not forget how Obama said he will meet this man as the iranian head of state, shame on Obama and the un summit of human right and the SWISS president that met with him in Geneva.

I believe that Ahmadinajad's twisted rhetoric is designed to entice Israel into attempting to attack Iran's Nuclear faciity. Israel faces a dilemma, either launch a strike or wait for the Iranian people to turn on their so called 'leader' and his cohorts. A stark choice indeed.

Ahmadinejad is, alas, not the first knuckle dragging twerp to run a country, and he won't, alas, be the last. He's like a kid pretending to be king and everyone acting as if they think he really is, even though they might not like his methods. Remember that movie 'Dumb and Dumber?' Well the third in the series ought to be called, 'Dumb, Dumber and Ahmadinejad.' It's even more absurd to say that his attitudes don't befit the leader of Iran. Hello out there! Ahmadinejad isn't fit to BE the leader of Iran. He's barely fit to be the village idiot.

These two guys just love to come out with the outrageous statements and raise the hackles. What is their motive?

But then again he is a politician. What more can you expect.

Ahmadinejad is a "proud" liar. I feel sorry for the Iranian people having this bloke and his gang controlling their lives. The only question is when Ahmadinejad will have his Haman-like exit.

"The pretext [Holocaust] for the creation of the Zionist regime [Israel] is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim." The corollary to this of course is that if the Holocaust can be proven then by his own argument the pretext for Zionism is legitimate. Not a line I would have thought the Iranian dictator would want to pursue?
