When they talk about a "New Middle East," they mean a Middle East that
is held captive by America, England, and the Zionist regime. When they
talk about a "New Middle East," they do not mean progress,
development, independence, or freedom for the countries [of the
region]. They oppose independence, freedom, and progress. Look at
Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, and other places. I say to them: The peoples
of the region have awakened. It so happens that our peoples are also
calling for a New Middle East. The Middle East that our peoples want
is a free Middle East, which is not under the control of America and
England.

Those who were involved in planning this barbaric attack, those who
supported this barbaric attack, and those who prevented the cease-fire
are accomplices in the crimes of the Zionist regime, and must be
placed on trial. To be more specific, America and England purport to
support human rights, freedom, and democracy. When a cat's leg is run
over by a municipal vehicle in some city, they hold a mourning
ceremony. But they had the audacity to postpone the cease-fire for at
least three weeks. They explicitly declared that the Zionist regime
should be allowed to crush the resistance, and to occupy the land, and
that [only] then would there be a cease-fire. I want to declare loud
and clear, so that the whole world will hear: These two countries are
not worthy of being members of the Security Council.

If you want to have good relations with the Iranian people in the
future, you should acknowledge the right and the might of the Iranian
people, and you should bow and surrender to the might of the Iranian
people. If you do not accept this, the Iranian people will force you
to bow and surrender.

-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, August 2006
