Obviously, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not the best figure to start making judgment calls on international relations, but his speech for Iran's National Army Day sounds strikingly similar to sentiments that have been tossed around within the West for decades.
CNN noted that Ahmadinejad's statements were specifically made in reference to the heavy NATO presence in Libyan airspace, which has resulted in several controversial civilian deaths, and warned that Western interference is worsening the relationship between Shia and Sunni Muslims.
"They are trying to foment discord in the region. They are trying to cause destruction and provoke wars between nations and governments in order to sell their weapons," Ahmadinejad said in a speech translated into English by state-run Press TV. "They are seeking destruction and a reinforcement of their evil dominance in the region."
