Manouchehr Mottaki, reacting to Wednesday’s bombing of a key Shia mosque in the Iraqi city of Samarra, said “some hands” were working to stoke ethnic and religious unrest “not only in Iraq but in the Islamic world”. snip

Mottaki also sharply criticised the United States for its role in the current global terrorism crisis, suggesting that it had a hand in creating today’s extremists with its cold war support of militant groups. snip

“Unfortunately, our region is affected by terrorist groups like the Taleban, like Al Qaeda, but the main question is, who was the cause of the establishment of such groups in our region?” he said.

“They have offered specifically, the United States, all their support, and then they have started to fight with them.”


Boy, I sure wish I could call this guy a liar.

"hate us for our freedoms" and "want to kill us" isn't it. :eyes:
