| Khatami calls for US to apologise to Iranian people |
| 2002-07-14 |
| President Mohammad Khatami called Sunday on the United States to apologise to the Iranian people and dismissed US President George W. Bush's call for democratic changes in the Islamic republic. Wrong answer, Moh... "I want to assure you there are no differences in Iran on the idea of defending the territorial integrity of the country and safeguarding its independence," Khatami said on state radio after a cabinet meeting. "The fact that we kill each other in large numbers in our internal squabbles is no indication of weakness or instability..." He called for US leaders "to apologise to the people and government (of Iran) and thus breach the wall of mistrust which separates the two countries. I propose American leaders abandon their mistaken beliefs regarding the world and Iran by asking for forgiveness from the people and Iranian government to repair the past."Khatami said Iran was "determined to follow the path towards progress, freedom and independence without any consideration for threats." Ummm... How about if we propose unconditional surrender, an apology for the occupation and taking of hostages at our embassy, and the public trial and execution of most of their holy men for Iran? |
