He said Western leaders who made "insulting and irrelevant comments will be put on a fair trial" by Iran at international gatherings. …

Ahmadinejad also vowed to take a tougher approach toward alleged meddling by the West during his second four-year term, which the government has said will begin this summer. "Without a doubt, Iran's new government will have a more decisive and firmer approach toward the West," Ahmadinejad said. "This time the Iranian nation's reply will be harsh and more decisive," to make the West regret its "meddlesome stance," he said.
Comments: (1) This over-the-top bellicosity reminds me why I originally endorsed Ahmadinejad to win the June 12 elections and serve another four years as president of Iran. His aggressive comments might even awake an Obama to the inutility of nice words and gestures toward Tehran.

(2) The Islamic Republic of Iran will put the U.S. president on trial? Shades of Bertrand Russell’s kangaroo “International War Crimes Tribunal.” It should provide quite a spectacle. (June 28, 2009)
