| I'm telling you, there's nothing that's not our fault... |
Iran's national security chief, Hassan Rohani, blamed the U.S. foreign polices in Iraq and elsewhere for the expansion of global terrorism.
| Right. There was no such thing as global terrorism before we got there, see? |
On Friday, the Iranian News Agency cited Rohani as saying that the "U.S. interference in the internal affairs of states and the injustice done in Iraqi prisons and elsewhere are the reasons for the spread in world terrorism." He also said that the U.S. slogan of fighting terrorism is a "big lie", adding that "the real fight against terrorism should start by curbing injustice and unfairness."
| Hassan? We're doing that. We're killing or jugging all the rat bastard head loppers and boom boyz we can find. There's nothing more unjust or unfair than chopping somebody's head off. |
"The policies and practices adopted by the U.S. in the world make the world's peoples hate America," he said.
| Oderint dum metuant, Bub. |
Rohani also accused the United States of trying to provoke another crisis over Iran's nuclear program. Washington accuses Iran of covertly developing a nuclear weapons program and wants Tehran's nuclear file to be sent to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions. Iran denies the accusations, insisting that it nuclear program is mainly aimed at the peaceful generation of electricity. "Iran needs to produce electricity from nuclear energy, but the U.S. is trying to make up and create problems for Tehran," Rohani said. |
