Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a Mahdaviat (a person who believes in and prepares for the Mahdi.) He can dodge questions well and is adept at reading a speech. Ahmadinejad spoke at the UN in 2005 and alluded to Imam Mahdi. In his speech of September 19, 2006 at the UN he averred, "I emphatically declare that today's world, more than ever before, longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity; and above all longs for the perfect righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet." Then he prayed, ""Oh, Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation. Bestow upon humanity that thirsts for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers and among those who strive for his return and his cause."
The whois registration of his website lists his first name as mahdi http://lvb.net/item/3255
According to Shiites, the 12th imam disappeared as a child in the year 941. When he returns, they believe, he will reign on earth for seven years, before bringing about a final judgment and the end of the world.
Under Iran's constitution, the highest government official and commander-in-chief of the military is the Supreme Leader. The first Supreme Leader was Ayatollah Khomeni. The current Supreme Leader is Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Both the Supreme Leader and President Ahmadinejad have apocalyptic views. They want to bring about the zuhur (appearance) of Imam Mahdi. They want to establish a Shiite Khalifah (empire) from Iran to Lebanon.
Ahmadinejad choose his words well for the speech at the UN on September 19. Instead of naming names he says "some" [individual's] behavior is not worthy of human beings and runs counter to the Truth, to justice and to human dignity.
Ahmadinejad emphasized, The occupiers are incapable of establishing security in Iraq...there are covert and overt efforts to heighten insecurity, magnify and aggravate differences within Iraqi society, and instigate civil strife...It seems that intensification of hostilities and terrorism serves as a pretext for the continued presence of foreign forces in Iraq. Where can the people of Iraq seek refuge, and from whom should the Government of Iraq seek justice?
Next he discusses Palestine and Lebanon. Then he reiterates the statement made in other speeches, "The Islamic Republic of Iran is a member of the IAEA and is committed to the NPT. All our nuclear activities are transparent, peaceful and under the watchful eyes of IAEA inspectors." Maybe he has said that so often that he really believes it. It was over the issue of inspections that the current situation arose. Furthermore, there is an addendum to the NPT that Iran never signed.
Then finally, he names names,
"The question needs to be asked: if the Governments of the United States or the United Kingdom, who are permanent members of the Security Council, commit aggression, occupation and violation of international law, which of the organs of the UN can take them to account?"
Then he ended with the prayer for the mahdi.

I heard the greater part of the address to the General Assembly.
Though there was poetic rhetoric about peace and justice and kindness to one another, this guy was NOT talking about exercising any of that towards his fellow countrymen who do not agree with him.
If he is truly a man of peace, he can fuel his generators with the multitude of oil underneath his sands, and not rely on the hoax of a peaceful nuclear power program that is clearly aimed at tipping the regional balance of power. Ahmadinejad should call for the immediate dismissal of any religious body that dictates law, enforcement or policy, and truly place the administration of his nation in the hands of elected officials ONLY.
When he does that, maybe his sentiments can be taken more seriously. Until then, thousands rot in prison without just charge, or disappear forever under the Ayatollah's regime. They are the ones truly being censored.

First, all of us be attentive to there's a countrywide protection Council artwork rigidity-led team whose undertaking is to create outrage interior the international against Iran. purely like earlier Gulf II, this media team will start to launch memories to sell a strike against Iran. look ahead to the outrage stuff. The Patriot missiles going to the GCC states are purely component to the missile protection sources. i could assume to work out the deployment of the numerous eu-based missile protection sources to Israel, purely as they have been earlier Gulf II. could assume deployment of extra USAF combatants into the bases in Iraq, perhaps some into Afghanistan. i think of we can learn the deployment of the numerous newly arriving military brigades going into Iraq being deployed to the border with Iran. Their undertaking would be to guard against any Iranian strikes into Iraq. As between the final steps earlier a strike, we’ll see USAF tankers moved to unusual places, like Bulgaria. those would be used to refuel the US-based B-2 bombers on their strike missions into Iran. whilst that occurs, we’ll purely be days removed from a strike. The White abode could desire to be telling the fact. perhaps there are not any plans to take Iran to the subsequent point. The gas for a hearth is in place, although. All we prefer is a spark. the threat is that we've created circumstances that could desire to hold approximately a miles better center East conflict.

I love the fact that some people on here are saying that they didn't listen as it wouldn't be worth listening to. How could you possibly form an opinion without both sides of the stories instead of relying on Rupert Murdoch to do your thinking for you?

Yes I listened for as long as BBC world was broadcasting the speech, and as little sympathy I have for the mullah state, I have to admit:
EVERY SINGLE WORD WAS TRUE!
No wonder Bush chickened out of a debate.

I heard it. I also saw a couple of interviews with him. He has the talking points down pretty well.
