Did you ever read any of our rhetoric? The Axis of Evil, they declared war
against the U.S., they're constantly constantly constantly out to get us. The
U.S. refuses to say a word to them. Refused their overtures after 9/11 to find
OBL. We mock their letter pleading with us not to nuke their country. Then
they respond in kind and they're 100% the bad guy, again. It's like we hammer
at something until we break it, then we say oops, look, it's broken. Show us
again how it's broken, Lawrence.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "In my opinion, Lebanon is the scene of
an historic test, which will determine the future of humanity. Everyone must be
put to the test. Everyone. It is inconceivable for anyone who calls himself a
Muslim and who heads an Islamic state to maintain relations under the table
with the regime that occupied Jerusalem. He cannot take pleasure in the
[Israeli] killing of Muslims yet present himself as a Muslim. This is
inconceivable, and must be exposed. Allah willing, it will. You will see.
"This is a mirror that will reveal everyone's true essence. This is not one of
those ordinary tests. Not at all. It will expose everything. A bunch of people
with no honor rule some countries in the region. People are being killed before
their eyes, while they play games, giving compliments to one another. They
think they can let time go by until this issue is forgotten, and then return to
the scene. No, they are mistaken.
"In this case, they must make their position clear. Of course, some of them
have taken positive positions, but others have buried their heads in the sand.
Their true character will be exposed in this scene. For them, this is 'the Day
that all things secret will be tested.' They will reach this day. The hypocrisy
must be exposed."
[...]
"England was the founder of this sinister regime. It is an accomplice to all
its crimes. America, which supports it now, is an accomplice to all its crimes.
They are the ones who started this fire. They are the ones who support
[Israel], and encourage it to strike at the people in such a manner. They say:
'They took two of our soldiers.' Fine, but you took 5,000 of theirs. Sit
together and have a prisoner exchange. But you are destroying the life of an
entire people, and harming innocent people - all for two soldiers? Do you value
human life at all?
"They even lie to those wretched people whom they have collected from around
the world and brought to the occupied lands. In fact, their leaders are having
a good time around the world. After all, they are not in the battlefield. They
are outside the scene. They have collected a bunch of people and put them there
to serve as their shields, so they can realize their colonialist, domineering
goals."
