I note that the full text of President Ahmadinejad's speech to the UN General Assembly this week is available on the Ha'aretz website.

The whole speech is full of interest and hope. If I may highlight one brief section, the Iranian President continues to hold out an olive branch of peace to the Western imperialists:Of course with the grace of God Almighty a hopeful trend is flourishing in the heart and soul of human societies. The universal eagerness for justice, purity, and love for others, monotheism and the quest for perfection is clearly and increasingly on the rise. A universal resistance against the acquisitiveness, aggression and selfishness of the bullying powers is being formed.

Today, the bullying powers' thoughts, practices and strategies are rejected by nations and governments, and all are seeking to establish new human relations based on justice with a view to attain prosperity, perfection, security, and sustainable welfare. This is the very auspicious phenomenon that all the traditions of creation and the ruling laws of the universe emphasize and support.

Today, the Zionist regime is on a definite slope to collapse, and there is no way for it to get out of the cesspool created by itself and its supporters. The Islamic Republic of Iran, while fully respecting the resistance of the oppressed people of Palestine and expressing its all-out support for it, submits its humane solution based on a free referendum in Palestine for determining and establishing the type of state in the entire Palestinian lands to the distinguished Secretary General of the UN.

American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road, and its next rulers must limit their interference to their own borders. Today, the thought of hegemony quickly becomes a demerit.

And now a few words with the expansionist governments ruling global relations:

Be aware that living with obedience to God and carrying out His orders, compassion for people and striving for the fulfillment of justice is to your advantage too. I invite you to return to the path of God, the Prophets and to the path of the people of the world and to the truth and justice.

The only route to salvation is a divine straight path. Otherwise, God's hand of power will emerge from the sleeve of oppressed nations and will make your life difficult, and will put an end to your hegemony.

Let's love the people of the world and respect their rights. Rectify past behavior. This will benefit you and the human community. The Iranian people are prepared, along with other nations, to help you be rescued from your current situation and to establish peace and prosperity.

Usual Muslim particularist hypocritical claptrap, I notice he mentioned Monotheism (i.e. Islam) being on the rise, about the quest to create "perfection" (Islamic code for universal Muslim rule) good luck with that one me boyo, and he is gloating about the imminent destruction of the Israeli state (again). Its certain that the Iranians will be toasting (using non alcoholic drink of course) the troubles that the US has gotten itself into, and I suppose you can't blame them for their collective schaudenfreude . However, I think I will resist the call to global peace and brotherly love from a man whose regime hangs young women from the back of lorries for the crime of being raped. Thanks and all, but I'll pass on that.

I note that the gentleman doesn't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. That's good enough for me and a worthy lesson to the rest of the planet.
