TEHRAN, Iran -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday said the West should apologize to Iran for accusing it of trying to develop a nuclear weapons program and said his country would continue to resist international pressure to halt its nuclear energy program.
"Today they tell our nation that nuclear energy is a bad thing and it is not necessary for our people to have it. But the nation of Iran has stood (for its right)," he said in a televised speech to mark the Iranian New Year, which begins Tuesday. "Those who head war and crimes accused the Iranian nation of war seeking. They insulted our nation. I do advise them to apologize."
Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes but Western countries who believe otherwise have pushed for United Nations action _ including possible sanctions _ against the country.
Ahmadinejad stressed that Iran would not give up its nuclear rights.
"Today we announce with pride that the peaceful knowledge and technology are at our disposal in order to be used for different purposes, including electricity generation, and we have not borrowed it from anybody that can take it away from us," he said.
Ahmadinejad reiterated that Iran should be compensated for a two and a half year suspension of its nuclear activities. Under heavy pressure from the West, Iran suspended its enrichment of uranium and related activities in 2003 and began negotiating with Germany, Britain and France to reach an agreed framework for its nuclear development. It resumed nuclear research earlier this year when talks failed.

Apology from "A Fish Called Wanda"
Archie: “All right, all right, I apologize.”
Otto: “You're really sorry?”
Archie: “I'm really, really, sorry. I apologize unreservedly.”
Otto: “You take it back?” Archie: “I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by mailce. And I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.”
Otto: “Ok.”
But this is America, so this is what you will get Iran:
"Never apologize and never explain - it's a sign of weakness." - John Wayne
""I hope when you are my age, you'll be able to say - as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. Our lives were a statement, not an apology." - President Ronald Reagan
Thanks for the ping!
Wonder if his mother dropped him on his head when he was a baby? He sure seems to have a mental problem.
Hey Akmajinadork!
How about a hundred JDAMs, each with "we're sorry" written on it, delivered to your doorstep?
Will that suffice?
That guy is suffering from some serious distortions of reality in his mind. He's going to see a JDAM dropped on his house before he ever hears an apology from us for telling the truth.
My reply to the Iranian President -
Shut the hell up before someone puts their fist through your gob, tears off your ears and stomps on those pitiful tiny blackcurrant-like excuse for a pair of testicles.
If this was the 19th century, we would have sent in the army to tie you to a guncarriage and flay you alive, before dragging you tied to the keel of one of our ships, and then feeding the remains to some coyotes. Be thankful you're protected by the politically correct. Because that's the only thing that's protecting you.
Regards, Ivan
We are very sorry that Jimmy Peanuts was President when you had your little Islamic Revolution.
