| Iran spiritual leader accuses Bush of âunimaginable injusticeâ |
| 2002-06-27 |
| Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said US President George W. Bush's outline for Middle East peace represented "unimaginable iniquity and injustice" toward the Palestinian people. Khamenei was commenting on President Bush's Monday speech promising support for the creation of a Palestinian state in exchange for the Palestinians dumping their leader, Yasser Arafat. "Yeah. Doing away with endemic corruption and brutality, instituting a court system, and allowing people a say in who bosses them around is unimaginable..." In that speech, Khamenei said, the Palestinian people were "stripped of all their basic rights and labeled as terrorists," while the Israeli government, "which has recourse to all the means of force and repression, was presented as a victim. "That is an unimaginable iniquity and injustice," he said in remarks to top-level judicial officials quoted by state radio. Actually, many of us find it pretty easy to imagine. Just close your eyes and think of your daughter going to a disco and being killed by a boomer... Oh. You'd kill her before she left home. Oh, well. "Perhaps you can fool international public opinion with this kind of propaganda for awhile, but not for long," Khamenei added. "The recent popular protests across the world, even in the United States, are manifest proof of that." In the U.S.? Oh, those guys! Y'see, we don't kill our fifth columnists on suspicion. We let them make fools of themselves. Unlike Iran, I might add. |
