Here is our exclusive translation
of the speech given to thousands and televised live
in Iran by President Ahmadinejad, responding to President Barack Obama. Ahmadinejad initiated contact
with Obama in a letter last November, which Obama is reportedly going to respond to soon.
Some media accounts have mischaracterized the speech as a rejection of Obama's gestures. Read the complete
speech and decide for yourself.
IRAN to OBAMA: Show Us the Change
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call for the US to address Iran's
past grievances has made headlines, yet the statement is nothing new. He has been saying this from practically
the moment he was elected back in 2005, and we have been chronicling it ever since.
This week, while addressing a crowd of thousands in Iran, he responded to recent statements from President
Barack Obama by rehashing the usual list of unresolved wounds.

Two years ago, our article "Rumor of the Century" debuted. Since then, not a day has gone
by that it's not been discussed and circulated, like it was a new piece. Although it's been read by millions and quoted
in Congress by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the rumor persists.
President Barack Obama and Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton are among the numerous leaders who repeat the rumor publicly.
Here again, for the sake of peace, truth, accountability and nostalgia, is the award-winning "Rumor of the Century".

"As forces in American government and media have fueled the perception
of an unavoidable war with Iran, Warring Factions is a call to (dis)arms. By combining both documentary

religious identities as a way to humanize the conflict between nations before the event of a devastating war."

With Gaza under siege in Israel's war against Hamas, here's a trip down memory lane.
It's 1973. Israel, as usual, is at the center of a bloody military crisis. As UN member states convene, the Saudi
Ambassador takes the opportunity to chastise the American CIA's role in overthrowing Mossadegh in Iran. 36 years
later, Israel and Iran's issues remain unresolved, America is stuck in the Middle East, and the United Nations is
still ineffective in ending the violence.
