President Urges Washington to Avoid Following Zionist Lobbies
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the US administration to take steps towards closer ties with the world and distance itself from Zionists' policies.
The US administration must say whether it is under the influence of Israel or not, President Ahmadinejad said at a conference of Iranian expatriates here in Tehran on Monday.
Ahmadinejad stressed that Zionists are just a political faction that has control over money and the media, and advised the United States to dump them and pay more attention to other nations.
On the crises in Afghanistan and Iraq, he said the Westerners have released some documents that allegedly show Iran is responsible for their failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, but they do not know that "we are sad to see people, including the NATO troops and Afghan and Iraqi people, being killed".
Is there a greater barbarity than the fact that soldiers, who joined the military to earn a living, were sent to Iraq and Afghanistan to kill people, he asked.
The theory of "kill or be killed" is a clear example of modern barbarism, he said.
Ahmadinejad also called the concept of a clash of civilizations a historical lie, saying that "If a civilization is a civilization, it should not fight the other (civilizations). Civilizations do not have any problems with each other and they are friends. For example, the people of Iran and the people of the US do not have any problems with each other."
