I can't believe he didn't adress his illegitimacy

With his country rioting after its sham election, seven killed in recent protests, Iranian press being confined to their buildings, foreign press having visa's revoked and being thrown out of the country, and Iran's Guardian Council saying things like "partial recount" and "maybe this wasn't the best idea we've ever had", Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took to the stage at meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation with a lot to talk about and a lot of problems to address. So of course he banged on about the US and empires.

"The international capitalist order is retreating. It is absolutely obvious that the age of empires has ended and its revival will not take place."
...
"Iraq is still occupied. There is no order in Afghanistan. The Palestinian problem is unsolved," he said.

"America is overwhelmed by economic and political crises and there is no hope in their decisions.

"The allies of the United States are also not in a position to wrestle with these problems."

Don't forget "Iran is affected by a corrupt dictatorship that rigs elections, its people are rioting in the street." That's kind of a large problem. Mostly for you. The US? We're doing just fine, thanks for worrying though. You're so sweet.

Maybe you didn't read up on those parts of history where massive populist uprisings against dictatorships turn violent, but it usually doesn't end well for the leadership. At the end it usually veers into shot in the head/on fire in a ditch or shot alongside your your mistress/hanging on meathooks in the public square/bodies stoned by revelers. If I were a Iranian Mullah, and Allah willing some day I will be, I'd be more than a little worried that my body would be dragged through a public square while citizens gleefully struck my corpse with their shoes. Just food for thought Mahmoud. But then again maybe this will all just go away if you keep pretending nothing happened. I'm sure it'll end well. Especially for you.
