in the past years western and israeli envoys have decided to come in but then do this walk right out again once amadinejad speaks. this was the scene in 2009. there they go. up and out. then in 2010 it was the same thing all over. ear phones off pages folded collect your stuff. there goes the u.s. they weren't the only ones. a whole bunch of delegations followed them up and out as well. so last year, repeat. you could call it the threepete. looks almost the same but for a couple of other people involved. there go the other delegations too. so we've had three in a row of the walk-outs. before that we've had the boycotts. today the united states will look a lot like france and these other empty seats and germany. jill dougherty is an expert on this. she's walking today's action as well. jill, i suppose the question would be what is this all about? does it seem a bit silly? is there a difference between going in in the first place and walking out or just boycotting it altogether? >> not really. i mean it is i suppose, a step stronger diplomatically, but the message is there that they feel that mr. amadinejad speaks about things like israel and really goes over the top. i mean, he has made some pretty outrageous comments over the years and, you know, today could be another one. it's always interesting what is going to -- what he is going to say. but you know, ashleigh, i think we have to look beyond the bluster. we really have to look at this man in terms of his economy, which is in very very serious trouble. so he can bluster he can threaten. of course a big issue is his nuclear program, etc. but in the end he's a man in trouble. he's going to be out of office in june. right now he has high unemployment, high inflation because of sanctions. they can't sell their oil very well. there are a lot of problems on his plate. >> this may be his swan song, but what do you expect will be his main mission at that lectern today? fire and brim stone to make people back home happy or maybe a legacy among all of these world leaders? a legacy among the u.n.? >> you know, i think actually it could be that legacy because after all he thinks of himself as a world states man and a leader of the country. he is a leader for the nonaligned nations. he thinks of himself as a leader of those people those countries. his message is the united states is oppressing the world. it is you know, an imperial list country and i, the leader of iran, am leading the charge against imperialism. so i think you're going to hear a lot of that. now in line with that he will often go over the top in terms of attacking israel talking about, you know, the term things the united states does but i do think we might -- you know, we might get him trying to make his mark in history. >> i want to ask you, maybe we can switch to some pictures outside the u.n. because as was not unexpected, jill, here are the protests that typically follow this leader throughout new york in fact. there have been protests outside of his hotel. who are's a live protest outside the u.n. various different groups. a lot of iranian americans. i'm following live pictures inside the u.n. he's taken the chair beside the lectern. it will be interesting to watch to see if any other delegations walk out. maybe others have joined the united nations in boycotting to start with. jill, there have been some conciliatory things that have been said by the leader. i'll get to that in a moment. let's listen in as he takes to the stage. >> translator: in the name of god, the compassionate, the mist citiful, the lord of the worlds and may peace and blessings be upon the greatest prophet. he has chosen companions and all the messengers. oh, god hasten the message of your chosen beloved. grant him good health and victory. make us his best companions and all those who attest to his ritefulness. mr. president, exlen sis ladies and gentlemen. i thank the almighty god for having once more the chance to participate in this meeting. we have gathered here to ponder and work together for building a better life for the entire human community and for our nations. coming from iran, the land of glory and beauty the land of knowledge, culture, wisdom and morality. the cradle of philosophy and mysticism. the land of compassion and light. the land of scientists the scholars philosophers masters of literature and writers. the land of the center molana, attar, hyam and shariar. i represent a great and proud nation that is a founder of human civilization and an inheritor of respected universal values. i represent a conscious nation which is dedicated to the cause of freedom and peace and compassion, a nation that has experienced the agony and bitter times of the aggression and in post war and profoundly values the blessings of peace and civility. i am now here for the eighth time in the eighth year of my service to my normal people in this assembly of sisters and brothers from across the world to show to the world that my nomination has a global vision and welcomes any effort intended to provide and promote peace stability, and tranquility which can only be realized through harmony, cooperation and joint management of the world. i am here to voice the divine and humanitarian message of learned men and women of my country, to you and to the whole world, a message that iran's great orator and poet adime presented to humanity in his eternal two-line poetry. human beings are members of a whole in creation of one essence and soul. if one member is afflicted with pain, other members unable to remain. i have talked in the past seven years about the current challenges solutions, and prospects of the future world. and today i want to raise and discuss such issues from different perspectives. thousands of years have passed since children of adam. peace be upon him. it's time to settle down in various parts of earth. peoples of different colors inclination, languages customs and traditions pursue persistently to fulfill their aspirations, to build a novel society for a more beautiful life blessed with lasting peace security and happiness. despite all efforts made by people and justice seekers and the sufferings and pains endured by masses of people in the quest to achieve happiness and victory, the history of man kind except in rare cases his mark leave unfulfilled dreams and failing urs. imagine for a moment had there been no distrust, malicious behaviors and dictatorships with no one violating the rights of others. had humanitarian values been viewed as the criterion for social dignity in place of affluence and consumerism had humanity not experienced the dark age of many evil periods and centers of power not hindered the flourishing of knowledge and constructive sorts, had the wars of crusade ended two periods of slavery and colonialism not happened and had the inheritors of these dark periods followed a course of humanitarian principles, had the first and second wars in europe korea, africa, latin america and the balkans not happened and if instead of the occupation of palestine and imposition of a safe government, displacement and genocide of millions of people around the globe, the truth behind these wars had been revealed based on justice. had saddam hussein not invaded iran and had the big power supported the rights of iranian people instead of siding with saddam if the tragic incidents of september 11th and the millions that were killed and homeless not happened and instead of killing and throwing the culprit into the sea without trial or without informing the world and the people of america an independent fact finding team had been formed to make the general public aware of the truth behind the incident and to prepare to bring him to justice their perpetrators, had extremism or terrorism not been used to secure political goals had the arms been turned into pens and military expenditures been used to promote well-being among nations had the drum of ethnic religious orational conflicts not been beaten and if differences had not been used for the purpose of advancing political agendas, had the right to criticize the policies and actions of the world zionism been recognized to allow the world media to freely report and shed light on realities instead of taking deceitful gestures of freedom bent on defending the mouths of human beings and divine messengers who as the purest and most compassionate human beings are the gift of almighty to humanity. had the security council not been under the domination of a limited number of governments thus disabling the united nations to carry out its responsibilities on a just and equitable basis if the international economic institutions had not been under pressure and been allowed to perform functions by using their expertise based on fairness and justice, had the world capitalists not weak end or victim miezed them in order to make up for their own mistake, if integrity and honesty have not prevailed on the international relations and all nations and governments will treat it equally and justly to build and expand happiness for the entire man kind and if other unfavorable situations had not occurred in human lives imagine how beautiful and pleasant our lives and how lovely the history of mankind would have been. let us take a look at the world situation today. a, the economic situation. poverty is on the rise and the gap is widening between the rich and the poor. 18 million industry countries have exceeded 6 trillion dollars whilst half of this amount is sufficient to eradicate poverty in the world. iran is dependent on consumer rimp and they always serve the interests of limited number of countries. creation of worldless assets by using influence and control over the world's economic centers is which is the greatest amount of abuse and is considered a major contributor to global economic crisis. it has been reported that only 33 papers were printed by one government alone. development planning, based on the economy that runs in a vicious circle triggers unhealthy and devastating competitions and it is a fatal practice. b, the situation. from the standpoint of the politicians who control the world power centers, such as moral principles purity, honesty, integrity compassion and self-sacrifice are rejected as defunct and outdated notions and an impediment to the accomplishment of the goals. they openly talk about their disbelief in the relevance of ethics to the political and social affairs. an envisionist culture after centuries old nations the common denominator reflecting human profound feeling and love towards beauty and the force which breathes diversity, cultural awareness and social dynamicness are under attack and susceptible to extingion. the socialized entity has been imposed on nations by organize the and systematic destruction and accumulation of identities. the novelest institution of societies and a center emanating love and humanity has been seriously weakened and it is under decline. personality as a heavenly being and manifestation of devine image and beauty and the main pillar of every society has been damaged and abused by the powerful and the wealthy. we have become frustrated and the essence of human kind humiliated and suppressed. c, political situations. the unilaterallism. application of double standards and imposition of war and stability and occupation to ensure economic interest and expand on all the sensitive centers of the world have served to be the order of the day. our slaves and intimidation by nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction have become pref va rent. testing new generations of ultra modern weaponry and the threat to disclose this until due time is now being used as a new language of threats against nations to coerce them into accepting a new era. continued threats by the uncivilized zionists to resort to military action against our great nation is a clear example of this bitter reality. a state of mistrust has cast its shadow on the international relations whilst there is no process or just authority to help resolve world conflicts. no one feels secure or safe even those who have a stockpile thousands of atomic bombs and other arms in their arsenals. d, the environmental situation. the environment and commonwealth and heritage of the entire human kind. this has been damaged and demonstrated as a result of irresponsible and excessive use of resources particularly by capitalists across the world. a situation that has caused massive draw theought, flood and pollution. it jeopardizes seriously human life. this advances scientific knowledge and technology the aspirations of adam's children have not yet been fulfilled. does anybody believe that continuation of the current order is capable of doing unhappiness for the human society? today everyone is discontent and disappointed with the current international order. dear colleagues human beings do not deserve to be under continued suffering of the present situation. god are with them and compassion who loves all human beings. he has ordered humans as the supreme creator to make the best and most beautiful life on earth along with justice, love, and dignity. we must, therefore, think of a solution hompt is responsible for all the suffering and failures. some people try to justify that everything is normal and is a reflection of the will putting the blame on nations as responsible for all prevalent vices and evils. they are of the opinion that it's the nation that succumb to discrimination and tyranny. it is a nation that sur rend ders to dictatorship and greed. it is the nation that accepts the arrogance and fashionist powers. it is the nation that are influenced by the powers and most all vices in our world are the result of the passive attitude with the inclination to live under the supremacy of the world powers. these are the arguments raised by those who tend to blame nations for the unfavorable conditions prevailing in the world with the intention to justify the attitudes and disruptive behaviors of the ruling minority. these claims supposedly authentic cannot in any way justify continuation of the present oppressive international order. indeed poverty is imposed on nations and powers and ambitions and goals are pursued either through deceit or resort to force. to justify their inhuman actions they propagate the theory based on the survival of the fittest. while in principle most governments and nations of people are humble and submissive in the faith of right and are after fostering dignity and constructive interaction. masses of people never ones wanted to expnd their territories nor do they seek to obtain legendary wealth. they have no disputes among themselves in principle and have never played a role in the creation of any disasters in the course of history. i do not believe that muslims, christians jews hindus, buddhists and others have any problems among themselves or are hostile against each other. they get along together constantly and live together in an atmosphere of peace and amnesty. they are all devoted to the cause of justice peace and love. 9 general tendency of nations has always been to get common aspirations reflecting in divine human beauties andbility nobilities. the current abysmal situation of the world -- >> well the president of iran certainly has a whole lot of blame for a whole lot of other countries other than his own specifically those zionists who he always calls the uncivilized za owe nists and the nations with arrogance blaming the world's problems like the environment and double standards and the cultural standards in poverty on many capital nations in the world. jill dougherty is still with us from the state department. this is not what i was expecting. there's always time for him to turn and get ornery, jill. i was expecting something much quicker, a lot more strident language off the bat. >> you know, ashley it's not over yet. so he could still do that. i think again we're looking at a man who wants to depict iran which is a great country, persia, and himself as a great man, a great leader who sees the world the way it is, which is controlled by he didn't say it but the united states, you mentioned, hejomonic powers, and everything is rigged against the lower countries of the world who are striving to get out from under the bottom of this. and it also plays into his interpretation of why iran should have at least the capability of having nuclear power. he wouldn't say necessarily nuclear weapons but nuclear power because, after all the big countries do it. sometimes that type of message you know the big guys can do it, why can't we does resonate with some countries. but you'd have to say that so far we haven't heard very much of anything. it's the typical thing, i think there is only one reference one or two to zionism. but it's blimame, blame, blame. as i said, this is a man who has to blame. otherwise, he is in trouble domestically with his economy. >> well jill, if he is trying to give a message of a statesman, he has a lot of ears. so far by our count i have to admit, we're not controlling the cameras, the u.n. is it was the u.s. and israel that didn't even walk in. countries like russia the palestinian delegation, the u.k., iraq, egypt, libya all seated and listening to the president's speech. if you could stand by and keep an ear on things. get up to speed if things take the turn that we were talking about. i would sure appreciate it. if you want to continue to watch this speech live you can do so on the internet. go to live.cnn.com and when we come back a whole lot more on why this is so significant. now, that's what i call a test drive. silverado! the most dependable longest lasting, full-size pickups on the road.
