It was good to hear yesterday more and more countries asking for UN support or condemnation against the US for its policies of inciting violence and state sponsored terrorism.
Here is a report from Haaretz, which through gritted teeth, says how the President of Iran is managing to get his clear peaceful message across. This also makes clear the distinction of his message of peace, Vs, the US Presidents message of Terror. lol.

WASHINGTON - Just how weak the international front against Iran's nuclear program is became clear during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to New York this week. Not only will he address the UN General Assembly just like any other world leader, but he has been sought after by the media, and tomorrow, he will even be hosted at a dinner by several Christian organizations that say they are seeking to promote peace.
On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad did his best to weaken the opposition still further, via an interview with America's prestigious National Public Radio: He insisted that he is not seeking a confrontation with the United States or anyone else, and that the entire problem is "the U.S. administration and its group of friends."
Asked by NPR about Iran's confrontation with the world over its nuclear program, he retorted: "Where is the world that you are speaking of? Again, 118 members of the Non-Aligned Movement are supporting us. Fifty-seven countries of the OIC [Organization of the Islamic Conference]. So the world that is concerned that you refer to, who is it? Which world? Is it really the U.S. administration and its group of friends?"

He even said he would like to cooperate with the U.S. - but clarified that Iran has already done "whatever we could," so now, "it's time for the American government to act."
Asked about his threat to "wipe Israel off the map," he insisted that he was referring to the country's peaceful disappearance.
"Let me create an analogy here - where exactly is the Soviet Union today?" he said. "It did disappear - but exactly how? It was through the vote of its own people. So therefore in Palestine, too, we must allow the people, the Palestinians, to determine their own future.
"Let's ask ourselves, where exactly did the Zionist regime come from?" he continued. "Palestine has existed historically with people who live there for thousands of years. Then at gunpoint several million of the indigenous people there were forced out of their homes and became displaced. And it didn't stop there; others were brought from elsewhere in the world to replace them. How can you accept this regime?
"Is the problem of the U.S. government the Zionist regime?" he added. "I believe the extremity to which the U.S. government has gone to extend support to the Zionist regime has caused the U.S. government problems around the world."
