Obama Asked for Meeting With Iran’s Leader

June 25th, 2009

Weeks before the explosive elections in Iran, President Obama sent a message to the nation’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, requesting a personal meeting with him. Although Khamenei has not yet replied to Obama’s request, sources told CNN that Iran “had set the negotiating table in order for both sides to sit around it after the election.” The Obama administration, however, has declined to discuss the specifics “of our different ways of communicating,” CNN reports. “We have indicated a willingness to talk for a long time and have sought to communicate with the Iranians in a variety of ways,” a senior Obama administration official said. Speaking in the Iranian capital of Tehran Friday, Khamenei made an indirect reference to the letter. “The U.S. president said that we were waiting for a day like this to see people on the street,” the Iranian leader said. “Some people attributed these remarks to Obama, and then they write letters to say we’re ready to have ties, that we respect the Islamic Republic, and on the other hand, they make such comments. Which one should we believe?” An Iranian source told CNN, “We thought President Obama would send congratulations to President Ahmadinejad,” and before the election, his senior advisers prepared a response to the anticipated note, which never came.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday said “Without doubt in the new (presidential) term the government will have a more decisive and powerful approach towards the West,“ he told a meeting of judiciary officials in Tehran.
Ahmadinejad said that the June 12 presidential election in Iran which has strengthened his government also marked the end of liberal democracy and liberal thought.
Addressing a national gathering of judicial officials he said, “The Iranian nation favors dialogue and wisdom as well as constructive and cultural interaction,“ IRNA reported.
Referring to the recent interference in Iran’s internal affairs and insulting comments by certain western states abut Iran’s handling of protests after the presidential elections, Ahmadinejad said, “From now on we will take you to trial at every international forum.“
“How is it possible that those who have blood on their hands are now talking about human rights and believe that they can harm the Islamic system with their hollow and satanic statements and their propaganda stunts against Iran’s clean and humane system?“

It seems as though the leaders of iran and korea are suffering from mental illness. Our new president is a man of peace and we pray that he seeks God’s guidance when it comes to starting a war that may annilate a lot of innocent people just because of someone’s crazy ego tripping and lack of patience!
