Transcript of Interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
[Thanks to Kevin for finding this transcript for me]
AHMADINEJAD: (Translated.)
"Basically, we are not looking for - working for the bomb. The problem that President Bush has that in his mind he wants to solve everything with bombs. The time of the bomb is in the past. It's behind us. Today is the era of thoughts, dialogue, and cultural exchanges."
*
Q: What did you expect to hear back from President Bush?
AHMADINEJAD: (Translated.)
"I was expecting Mr. Bush to give up, or I should say to change his behavior. I was hoping to open a new window for the gentleman. One can certainly look on the world from other perspectives. You can love the people. You can love all people. You can talk with the people of the Middle East using another language, other words. Instead of blind support for an imposed regime they can establish a more appropriate relationship with the people of the region. "

President Ahmadinejad did answer all the questions but of course he didn’t say the things most people in west wanted to hear, things they expect to hear because they have been brain washed and scared by US media. He clearly said that Israel is an illegal entity that has been put in place by force and on top of that still oppresses natural residence of that occupied land like a bully, i.e. Palestinians. He clearly said that he believes that an independent Jewish state is necessary to avoid another holocaust (weather to that extent it happened or not) but not in Palestinians' land that had absolutely nothing to do with holocaust. He also clearly said, that region needs a democratic referendum among all its residents to vote for its future and that will be the way to wipe Israel (an oppressing entity that governs Arabs) off the maps, that doesn’t mean Jews have to leave the land it just says Israelis have no right to rule the land that doesn’t belong to them. He also implied that unfortunately Israel has tied its fate to its military dominance backed by US, and as soon as that is over, with all this Arab hatred that Israel have been buying with its bombs for the last 70 years, it will be the end of Israel. I have a lot of disagreements with Ahmadinejad policies but what he said about Middle East and US agenda was 100% right and the truth. It made me have a new understanding and respect for Iran and Iranians.
