In a blistering speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed "a few bullying powers" for creating the world's problems and said the "American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road."

As awful of a man he is, he's correct in his assessment this time. When someone rants all the time, eventually he's going to be right about something.

I seriously hope no one believes he is running the country of Iran. Granted though, I don't believe in everything the U.S. has done over the years.

LOL Ahmaneedahandjob is a nutcase.

He may be right, (probably not but ya never know) but only in the sense that a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Put a trillion monkeys at a trillion typewriters for a trillion years, you eventually get the Gettysburg Address.

Of course comparing the "president" of Iran to monkeys is unfair...

To the monkeys.

weve been on the decline for years. russia is coming back. india if it dodges that AIDS bullet will own the world. brilliant minds they are. chinese still have too many problems. europe is already stroger than the US. luckily they are on our side. or pretending to be.

i think we wasted out power. iraq was a waste. we bit off more than we can chew there. trillions too much.

but amadinajihad is cookoo. he should be shunned by the world. but he isnt. its crazy.

He is, he's just a little premature with his assessment.

Ditto. It's about time for a wake up call. He may be a homegrown nutjob proclaiming there is no homosexuality in Iran (perhaps because suspected gays are exterminated), but if the US keeps on going as it has it's only a recipe for disaster. I welcome the demise of capitalist greed and waste.

We still have serious power and will continue to have it. Iran can't even build a ship to park outside our oceans let alone make a bomb. We are not about to become Ancient Rome and maybe we should pummel Iran for acting disrespectful.
