"...an unjust world economy,...."
Yeah, its pretty UNJUST that ther are countries in the world, where the money literally squirts out of the ground..... and there are countries where people actually have to work to produce wealth.
Moron!
"Without ethics and spirituality, attained in light of the teachings of Divine prophets, justice, freedom and human rights cannot be guaranteed."
That's right. Just ask all the teachers and reporters Iran has jailed. Also ask the 16 year old girls you hang from construction cranes because they were raped.
What always amazes me is that if we hadnt shown them what they have they'd still be trading dates and honey.
The ME has failed to develop any alternative economy to the oil based one. Can you imagine how poor theyed be with out the oil?
Translation:
"We can't successfully influence the outcomes of Hamas or Hezbollah, let along Iran, so let's just accept them for who they are"
Paris, dump the feckless vermin pile call the UN onto Paris ... the pocket dictators and Islamic murderers should love it there, and the French rulers will be all warm and kissy.
I'm just waiting to see if anyone in the MSM will report on the end of his speech. It was chilling, IMHO. Yet I didn't hear a word from any of the commentators about his religious call for the 12th Iman at the end of his speech.
"It is imperative, and also desirable, that we too contribute to the promotion of justice and virtue. The Almighty and Merciful God, who is the Creator of the Universe, is also its Lord and Ruler. Justice is His command. He commands His creatures to support one another in Good, virtue and piety, and not in decadence and corruption. He commands His creatures to enjoin one another to righteousness and virtue and not to sin and transgression."
He talks the talk, but I am not so sure he walks the walk.
The notion of 'peace' in the world has eluded us for quite a while now. Although I am not certain along which lines 'peace' would ever be achieved, meaningful dialogue never hurts. There will always be more radical elements opposed to any form of compromise, and these represent the 'terrorist elements' who will always be at odds with US and in the minority. Even so, the prospects of continual warfare is not in the best interests of humankind in the 21st century.
At what point in reality is "us versus them" confront the reality that "we are all in this together?"
'Radicalism' dies out sooner or later under its own 'fanaticism,' if the US can hang tough, we can hold our ground, but some sort of minimal compromise is needed to save face against the absurdity of the denial of our own imperfections.
Live and learn. "Trust, yet verify."
"...an unjust world economy,...."
Maybe he can solve it with a new "oil-for-food" type UN program.
LoL, as if Bush and Blair care what this evil little pissant said to the UN.
Be grateful for the "natural born citizen" provision in the Constitution. So many of the Democrat heart-throbs are barring from the Presidency--Ahmedinejab, Fidel, Hugo Chavez, Kofi Annan, Kim Jong-Il...
