US wrong policies make Middle East insecure, unstable

Visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki in a meeting with the Algerian Prime Minister Abdelaziz Belkhadem on Monday underlined that the US wrong policies have made the Middle East unstable and insecure.

Discussing the regional conditions with Abdelaziz, the foreign minister said that the US policies on Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East have failed and its goals have not been achieved.

"However, by continuing its wrong policies, the US further contributes to the insecurity and instability of the region," he added.

Mottaki said that the Zionist regime's aggression on Lebanon and its continuation for more than a month is in line with the US wrong regional policies.


"They intended to achieve their goals by military operations in Lebanon, destruction of the country and killing of Lebanese people.
But fortunately, Lebanon's heroic resistance prevented them from achieving such goals," he added.


He pointed to the resistance of Hizbollah and Lebanese people to the US policies and Israel's military defeat as a significant opportunity for Islamic and Arab states which should be used in the interests of regional people and countries.


For his part, Belkhadem condemned the Zionist regime's savage aggression on Lebanon and said, "Israel's move is based on a preplanned plot. Israelis have never been seeking peace and tranquility in the region."



The Algerian prime minister said, "The enemies intended to create chaos in the region, but did not succeed. They should not be allowed to pursue their aggressive goals under the cover of the United Nations Security Council resolution."



Meanwhile, both sides urged the need to expand bilateral relations in various dimensions.


The two officials also underlined the need for urgent withdrawal of Zionist forces from Lebanese territories in accordance with UN Resolution 1701 passed on Friday.

Methinks the Islamic Republic News Agency is displaying its bias with such terms as "Zionist regime", "Lebanon's heroic resistance", and "the enemies" (i.e., Israel and the US). But then, why would you expect anything different?

Oh? We removed Saddam Insane from power; we removed the Taliban from power; and we have so far prevented another 9/11 from taking place on American soil. We have provided Iraq with a democratic constitutional government, and rebuilt it's infrastructure. Sounds like we're doing pretty well to me.

Oh, naturally. Of course, we'll conveniently ignore the aspects of Iran refusing to cooperate with the UN on any aspect of it's uranium-enrichment program, Syria and Iran supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups in Lebanon, and the same terrorist groups kidnapping Israeli soldiers and lobbing those weapons into civilian centers in Israel. None of that has anything to do with destabilizing the region---it's all America's fault. Yeah, right.

Gee, and here all this time I thought it was to get their kidnapped soldiers back and pull the fangs of Hezbullah.

Meaning, of course, the total destruction of Israel, and the attempted total destruction of the West in general and the US in particular.

Does this mean that Iran is going to abide by UN resolutions regarding their nuclear program?

Oh, that's right, I forgot. These regimes only use UN resolutions for their own devices....anything the UN has to say about anything else they cheerfully ignore.
