Iran's President Downplays War With U.S.

(AP)  Iran's president said Tuesday he did not see any possibility of a war between his country and the United States or Israel.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he believed Washington and Tel Aviv have been "focusing on propaganda and psychological war" against his country.

"I assure you that there won't be any war in the future," Ahmadinejad told a news conference during a visit to Malaysia for a summit of developing Muslim nations.

But he predicted Israel's "regime" would collapse without the need for any Iranian action.

The Israelis "are a complex political group, but you should know this regime will be eventually destroyed and there is no need of any measure by Iranian people," he said when asked to comment on whether he has called for the destruction of Israel.

The current U.S. administration "has lost its fame and the fame of America in the eyes of the other people of the world," he added, blaming President George W. Bush.

He said the next government "would need at least 30 years in order to compensate, renovate and innovate the damages done by Mr. Bush."

The Iranian leader urged Washington to heal its image by "relying on (the) basis of justice, humanitarian acts and respect for human beings."

"The greatest threat in the Middle East and the whole world ... is the United States' intervention in other countries," Ahmadinejad said.

Unfortunately one of the unpleasant side effect of consistently lying, is that your enemies appear more honest to the world.

Less than 200 days people... :D

In an interview published by the French, dedefensa.org journalist Amy Goodman''s interview with General Wesley Clark.

Clark stated he viewed a defense department memo that described how the U.S. was going to take out seven countries in five years....

"starting with Iraq,then Syria and Lebanon, then Libya,then Somalia and Sudan, and back to Iran."

Reuters uk January 18, 2008 :

" Iran has some awesome colleagues. Russia and China have become guardians of the Iranian economy. They don''t put religion between business and political advantages.
The US is sorely lacking in intelligent Foreign Policy. Hitler''s Foreign Policy has been resurrected to serve the needs of an oil agenda and turn the US into the most disrespected and despised world power ".

just bomb iran off the map and we won''t have worry about them

BajaJohn1, my naive little cretin:
The world is safer if Israel had a million nukes, rather than Iran having one.
Those who cannot recognize the difference between Israel having nukes and Iran having nukes, are ignorant, monumentally stupid, or both.

You''re vision seems only to encompass the US and Israel as wearing the white hats and are therefore the good guys in any situation - how ignorant of the truth and shortsighted can one person be?

Your holier than everyone else country of Israel is in the process of starving the palestinian people to death and have basically cut off most of their water supply. They''ve slaughtered thousands in the name of protecting themselves - the same kind of garbage Bush spews forth. Who needs nukes?

Must be comforting going thru life with blinders on. You shouldn''t accuse others of shortcomings that fit you all too well. And your name calling only degrades you further.

While I think this religous fantatic President is a nut job have to admit he is right. After 8 years of Bush we have lost it all the respect we had all over the world.

And I havent seen any news stories of this guy publicly lying 962 times to start a war for the oil profit and ruthlessly killing hundreds of thousands in the process.

Iran''s president may be nutty, but Bush is a cold blooded murderer thru and thru. We may never recover from his genocidal actions!

No nation killed more civilians in wars than the US.

"The U.S. has over 23,000 nukes, Israel allegedly over 100, Iran has Zero. The U.S invades other countries amd is the only country to use a nuke against another country; and Israel bombs and invades its neighbors. Iran has not invaded any country since fighting Saddam. Who are the nut cases?"

Corey2444 is another GWBush whacko, still spinning for WMD''s in Iraq, after 7 years, 9 trillion dollars and hundreds of thousands of deaths. You need shock therapy and more to clean that toilet, you call your brain.
