Ahmadinejad UN speech on 9/11 sparks walk-outs

The US and other Western delegations at the 65th UN General Assembly have walked out in protest at the speech of the Iranian president.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said some saw the 11 September attacks on the US as part of a US conspiracy to protect Israel.

Mr Ahmadinejad was speaking on the first day of a week-long UN diplomatic marathon at its New York headquarters.

The US denounced his remarks on the 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people, as "abhorrent and delusional".

The American delegation was joined in its walk-out by representatives from 32 other nations - including all the EU countries, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Costa Rica.

But Mr Ahmadinejad appeared undaunted by the protest, continuing his attack on Zionism and Israel, says BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus.

Capitalist 'failures'

The Iranian president's speech was part political diatribe, part sermon, adds our correspondent - a wide-ranging presentation of his own particular world view.

The Iranian president said he would host a conference on terrorism next year and that 2011 should be the year of nuclear disarmament.

Repeating Iran's denial that it was seeking the capacity to build nuclear weapons, Mr Ahmadinejad said some members of the UN Security Council had "equated nuclear energy with nuclear bombs".

He also said Tehran would not submit to what he called unnecessary pressure from the the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Mr Ahmadinejad had started his speech by outlining what he called the failure of the existing world order and capitalism, saying the world should be run by virtuous people like the Prophets.

Although he said that Iran was ready to have a serious discussion with US statesmen, our correspondent says that on the evidence of this speech there would be little for them to talk about.

In response to the speech, Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the US mission at the United Nations, told AFP news agency: "Rather than representing the aspirations and goodwill of the Iranian people, Mr Ahmadinejad has yet again chosen to spout vile conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic slurs that are as abhorrent and delusional as they are predictable."

At the UN General Assembly, leaders take to the stage to make speeches on a subject of their choice.

Iran has already endured four rounds of increasingly punitive economic sanctions over the nuclear dispute.

Foreign ministers from countries including the US, UK, China, France, Germany and Russia discussed the issue at a meeting on Wednesday, and it is also likely to be raised on the fringes of the General Assembly.

Exactly.

Where's Gawd when we need him?

[Robert_S]

Why is it that this really smart supernatural being of Abraham's knows exactly how the world should be run, but can't get his people to form a government to run it properly?

[Toontown]

And why wouldn't it.

That's the walkout-sparkingest bastard I've ever seen.

Why do they keep letting him preach sermons at the UN? He stinks up the place every time. It's not like he's going to say anything original. He obviously gets his material from the pale, clammy intellectual underbellies of the internet. He's like a totally isolated, out-of-touch evil nerd who has recently decided to venture forth from his nerd-lair to try to take over the world. His first evil-nerd move is to try to act like he's just a regular guy. You know, to win us over. Then he starts getting wierd on us.

Obviously, his act ain't working. If it is an act. Is it the real him? I don't know which would be worse. Only the real him could come up with such a creepy act. It's like a short, funny-looking gnome preaching some other-worldly worldview at us.

Well. Whatever it is, it ain't working. Except on the equally wierd internet freaks who don't see anything wrong with his crazy shit. But they're the ones he gets his material from.

Fuck, it's like a feedback loop from hell.

Give that man some nukes. I want to see what he does with them.

Ahmadinejad told U.N. that U.S. did 9/11 to make lots of money from muslim lands.
