Ahmadinejad calls for a "new world order" based on compassion, justice

Run_to_da_hills

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has criticized the current world order as “discriminatory and inefficient”, calling for a new system based on “compassion and justice.”



I wonder was there a little personal message for him inside that RQ-170 drone that was delivered to Iran last December.

They are also supposed to be expecting their Mahdi quite soon. :eek:

I suspect the phrase "world order" does not mean what you think it does.

Before WW2 Britain, France and Germany were the superpowers, after the war, America and the USSR emerged as superpowers - a new world order.

Ahmadinejad is a keen conspiracy theorist though. He believes the Europeans have a weather controlling machine that causes drought in Iran.

I doubt very much if his dreams of a New World Order would have an effects on his current outrageous blasphemy laws.

If anything I would guess he would want to spread them.

Ok, on this basis I think we can conclusively say that Ahmedinejad is one of THEM. I'm starting to feel left out at this stage - we must be reaching the point when there is more people in the 'global elite' than outside it...

the first part is true; the g8 and UN are useless at getting anything done effectively and the second part is what anyone would want. So where's the conspiracy here?

Well, if you wanted to enact some sort of dystopian future on the world, you wouldn't force it on people, as they'd rebel. You fix it so that the people demand it. So, if Ahmadinejad was one of "them" he'd use hopeful rhetoric that would make people think he's on their side. People would believe that it's all for a good cause and slowly give away their rights, believing themselves to not really need them. Iran has often been against the West, but suddenly Ahmadinejad comes out with something that almost seems like he wants to work with the West. It's out of character and there may be suspicions that someone has persuaded him somehow. That's the conspiracy, as I see it.

If you look at the current world order, it is increasingly out of date. The 5 permanent members of the UN security council are all nuclear powers. The only way for a country to ensure its strategic security is to become a nuclear power. Iran will be vulnerable until it develops a nuclear capability. India and Pakistan covertly developed a nuclear arsenal and are now completely rehabilitated into the global community after initial international condemnation. Pakistan continues to receive huge military support and financial aid from the US.

It is probably long overdue for the UN to be more representative. For example having a south American permanent member, an African etc. Having 2 minor European powers on the UN security council is completely outdated.

Since it's the Security Council, is it outdated that those 5 countries represent the top 5 national military budgets globally? Britain and France aren't exactly minor powers, but they do support the enlargement of the permanent membership. Perhaps it would help cut their budgets somewhat?

The US want's Japan in and China opposes it...
