Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that "bullying powers" are trampling on the rights of nations. According to IRNA, the president arrived in the city of Sari, capital of Mazandaran province, Tuesday morning.
Addressing well-wishers at the city's stadium, he said most of the problems facing the current world "stem from the fact that bullying powers ignore the teachings of the divine messengers." He attacked his American counterpart, George W Bush, for negatively reacting to the letters he sent to US officials in early May and late November, respectively.
"When we invite their attention to the teachings of the divine prophets, they become upset and bad-tempered," said the Iranian leader.
He added that in his first letter he invited Bush to come to the path of justice and imbibe the culture of the holy prophets, "but they frowned and reacted negatively to the invitation," said the president.
Referring to his second letter sent in late November, he said it was "an invitation to accept the values of humanity and path taken by the holy prophets."
President Ahmadinejad expressed hope the persons to whom he addressed his letters will not close their eyes and ears to the values he sought to share, prominent among which are "dignity, justice, friendship and passion." "I am sure that no damage will come to them by accepting the words of the holy prophets and enforcing justice," stressed the president.
