Iranian president blasts U.S. in U.N. speech


UNITED NATIONS, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad condemned the United States on Wednesday as a country of unilateralism, militarism and privilege and called for the United Nations to promote spirituality.

In his first major international speech since becoming president in June, the conservative Muslim leader advanced broad concepts, including a recommendation that the United Nations "institutionalize justice at the international level."

He made no new proposal to resolve a dispute with the United States and Europe over Iran's nuclear ambitions, but was due to address the U.N. General Assembly again on Saturday.

...

He also criticized "unilateralism, production and use of WMD (weapons of mass destruction), intimidation, resort to the threat or use of force and imposition of destructive wars on peoples for the sake of security and prosperity of a few powers."
