The younger generation is essentially idealistic. This applies to the Iranian youth as well. In addition, the youth in Iran face certain difficulties... the Iranian youth need more freedom. They are struggling for more freedom and democracy. This commands great respect.

Maybe the words are the same, but the time is not the same. Iranians weren't working on achieving nuclear energy.

When you vote, vote for those who are not warmongers, and vote for those who respect human rights. When you see a president who doesn't respect human rights, don't vote for that person.

I am the voice of the people in Iran whose voices are silent and whose demands cannot be heard by the rest of the world.

The idea of cultural relativism is nothing but an excuse to violate human rights.

I know of no civilization that tolerates or justifies violence, terrorism, or injustice. There is no civilization that justifies the killing of innocent people. Those who are invoking cultural relativism are really using that as an excuse for violating human rights and to put a cultural mask on the face of what they're doing.

I hope the example of Saddam Hussein will give a lesson to leaders of other countries where human rights are not respected.
