Enemies are Unable to Stop or Hinder Iran's Progress

Speaking on Monday in Tehran at a special ceremony marking the official inauguration of 1835 educational and sporting projects throughout Iran, President Ahmadinejad emphasized that the enemies are unable to hinder Iran's progress.

The Iranian President stressed that the domineering powers want to create obstacles on the way of Iran's advancement, since they have realized that "the collective spirit of the Iranian nation has awakened, and Iran is moving forward fast, climbing the heights of progress and this movement is unstoppable".

In further remarks, President Ahmadinejad referred to the Iranian nation as a nation steeped in culture and civilization, and pointed to US accusations against Iran – in particular US government claims that Iran was plotting to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington. He pointedly added: "The Iranian nation has no need to engage in assassinations and terrorist attacks, the Iranian people are thoroughly cultured and civilized, and possess an ancient culture and civilization, and have influenced other nations over many centuries, winning their hearts, and thus those who engage in terrorism, or need terrorism, are uncivilized and have no civilization of their own".

President Ahmadinejad pointedly added: "Civilizations cannot be built using weapons and bombs, civilizations are built using culture, learning and thought -- if you construct a few buildings here and there, you haven't built a civilization".

President Ahmadinejad added: "The Iranian nation has never wanted to conquer other nations, or to plunder their wealth and natural resources – definitely if it wasn't for eight years of imposed war on Iran, today Islamic Iran would have been one of the most advanced nations on earth".

The Iranian President referred to large-scale killing of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan, AND poignantly added: "Former US President, George W. Bush, in his eight years in office, killed (or ordered the killing) of over a million innocent people".
