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.

Hey, Mahmoud, you hippie, over here!
I apologize for the US having the feckless wuss Jimmah Carter as president during the 444 days that Iran kidnapped our citizens. That pathetic patsie should have leveled the place and they'd still be crawling out of the rubble today.
Just his one a day bullshit item.
FOAD
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.
Does that make a lot of sense to you?
Quit accusing me of having nukes! I will continue building them!
Your pictoral greeting to the President of Iran was probably sent by one of my old girl friends. I can see her now. Thanks for the memories.
Only when fox reports a blizzard in HELL!
