Iranian president lambasts US on new blog

TEHRAN (Reuters) -
Iran's president has launched a Web log, using his first entry to recount his poor upbringing and ask visitors to the site if they think the United States and Israel want to start a new world war.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose speeches are riddled with anti-U.S. rhetoric, also described how he was angered by American meddling in Iran even when he was at elementary school.

Ahmadinejad swept to a surprise victory in last year's presidential race by promising the country's poor a fairer share of Iran's oil wealth and emphasizing his own humble origins that led many to vote for him as an "outsider" to Iran's ruling elite.

5. The Iranian president has a blog but Ted Stevens, the clown trying

to screw with the internet in this country is so frigging dumb he said
"the other day someone sent me an internet".

9. The more the American Corporatist Empire is revealed to

us all..... the more sympathy I have for any nations resisting the US (and UK, AUS, and Israel). Citizens are responsible for what their governments do in their names. And the US fat, TV-addicted, moronic so-called citizens have much to answer for.

His resort to more up-to-date means appears on the presidential website at ahmadinejad.ir. His first missive is available in English, French and Arabic - as well as Farsi - suggesting he is also aiming at an international audience.

It includes one of Mr Ahmadinejad's bluntest statements yet on the conflict between Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group, Hizbullah, in Lebanon. "Do you think that the US and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another world war?" He invites readers to vote yes or no.
