Iran Leader Says US Behaves
Like Saddam In Iraq
11-14-3
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Friday
accused the United States of killing and oppressing the Iraqi people
in the same way as former President Saddam Hussein.
Iran, though it fought an eight-year war with Saddam's Iraq in the
1980s, is deeply unhappy about U.S. forces in Iraq to its west and
Afghanistan to the east. U.S. officials, meanwhile, have stepped up
their war of words against the Islamic Republic.
"Americans killed hundreds of innocent people in Afghanistan and they
continue to attack and kill Iraqi civilians," Khamenei, Iran's most
powerful figure, told thousands of worshipers at Friday prayers in
Tehran.
"They are suppressing the Iraqi people exactly like Saddam Hussein
used to," said the black-turbaned senior cleric.
Once close allies, Iran and the United States became bitter foes after
the 1979 Islamic revolution toppled the U.S.-backed shah and radical
Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took dozens of
diplomats hostage.
President Bush raised the stakes last year labeling Iran part of an
"axis of evil" for alleged backing of terrorism. U.S. officials now
accuse Iran of trying to secretly make a nuclear bomb.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said last week Iran's "hidebound
clerics" had dragged Islam into "the political gutter." Days earlier
Bush challenged Iran's rulers to heed what he called the "democratic
demands" of the Iranian people.
"Who the hell are they to talk about democracy when Americans have
occupied Iraq against its nation's will?" Khamenei retorted.
"The remarks of American officials show they have plans against all
the nations of the region, therefore, we should all be alert," he
said.
Khamenei said persistent attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and
Afghanistan showed the level of Muslim hatred of Washington.
"Today, the Islamic world hates America more than ever because of what
happened in Afghanistan and Iraq," he said. "The situation in
Afghanistan and Iraq clearly shows that America's policy was not
successful in the Middle East."
