Khameini: US-style democracy is as destructive as its bombs
Ummah News follows this synopsis with the entire windy statement. Read it, if you've the patience...
Tehran Times
The democracy that the Americans claim they want to offer to Islamic and Arab countries is as destructive as their bombs and missiles, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said in his annual Hajj message yesterday. The message distributed during the Hajj ceremonies in Arafat, said, the U.S. real aim is to appropriate OPEC and swallow up the region's oil resources, to offer a closer support to the Zionist regime and to plot more closely against Islamic Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.
"Now every man to save his clan
Should plot and plan as best he can..."

Global imperialism — that is the closely-knit network of oil cartels, arms manufacturers, world Zionism, and their ally governments — threatened by the awakening of the Islamic ummah, is in a state of aggression accompanied with panicky moves. This aggression, which has political, media, military and terrorist dimensions, is today clearly visible in the violent and unabashed conduct and statements of the militarists in charge of the United States government and the Zionist regime, it said.
Individual liberty is anathema to these guys. The very thought of it makes them pee. That tells me we're doing something right.
