Making reference to what he called the mysterious September 11th incident and the slave masters and colonial powers of the West, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad excoriated Western member nations in an address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.Ahmadinejad attacked the United States for its history of slavery, causing two world wars, using a nuclear bomb against defenseless people, and imposing and supporting military dictatorships and totalitarian regimes on Asian, African and Latin American nations.He said that the US used the 9/11 attacks as a pretext for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that the wars were in fact motivated by imperialism and a thirst for oil.By using their imperialistic media network which is under the influence of colonialism they threaten anyone who questions the Holocaust and the September 11 event with sanctions and military actions, Ahmadinejad said.The US delegation walked out of the speech minutes after Ahmadinejad began speaking. The French representatives left shortly thereafter, when Ahmadinejad made reference to the Holocaust as a decades-old excuse for subservience to Zionist interests. Dozens of other diplomats followed the French.
