TEHRAN, Iran -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday said the West should apologize to Iran for accusing it of trying to develop a nuclear weapons program and said his country would continue to resist international pressure to halt its nuclear energy program.
"Today they tell our nation that nuclear energy is a bad thing and it is not necessary for our people to have it. But the nation of Iran has stood (for its right)," he said in a televised speech to mark the Iranian New Year, which begins Tuesday. "Those who head war and crimes accused the Iranian nation of war seeking. They insulted our nation. I do advise them to apologize."
Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes but Western countries who believe otherwise have pushed for United Nations action _ including possible sanctions _ against the country.
Ahmadinejad stressed that Iran would not give up its nuclear rights.
"Today we announce with pride that the peaceful knowledge and technology are at our disposal in order to be used for different purposes, including electricity generation, and we have not borrowed it from anybody that can take it away from us," he said.
Ahmadinejad reiterated that Iran should be compensated for a two and a half year suspension of its nuclear activities. Under heavy pressure from the West, Iran suspended its enrichment of uranium and related activities in 2003 and began negotiating with Germany, Britain and France to reach an agreed framework for its nuclear development. It resumed nuclear research earlier this year when talks failed.

Iran rejected compromise arrangements that would have allowed it to pursue nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. And this nutjob is demanding we apologize? He's smoking crack!

TEHRAN, Iran -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday said the West should apologize to Iran for accusing it of trying to develop a nuclear weapons program and said his country would continue to resist international pressure to halt its nuclear energy program. I'm glad that the Iranian Alfred E Newman is in an apology mood.
How about an apology for violating our Embassy in 1979 (?) and terrorizing our citizens for two years?
Even Attila the Hun wasn't that uncivilized!

He said we should apologize to him for accusing him of what he's just admitted to be doing. What am I missing here. Did this jack-ass go to school with John Lurch Flip-Flop Kerry?
