Nixon Has The Audacity To Tell Me

I Did Not Share The Enthusiasm Of Certain Politicians For The National Front Leader, It Was Because I Had Noticed, In The Past, Some Strange Contradictions Between Mossadeq's Declared Ends And His Actions. Officially He Defended Nationalist Anti-colonialism And Was The Most Intransigent Patriot Who Declared That No Concessions Or Advantages Should Be Granted To Foreign Powers. He Described His Doctrine As A "negative Balance" And In Fact His Greatest Failing Was That He Was Negative.

I Have Learned By Experience That A Tragic End Awaits Anyone Who Dares Cross Swords With Me; Nasser Is No More, John And Robert Kennedy Died At The Hands Of Assassins, Their Brother Edward Has Been Disgraced, Krushchev Was Toppled, The List Is Endless.

Soviet Propaganda Is Remarkably Effective And The Americans Are Even More Remarkably Stupid.

I Personally Object To The Veil On Aesthetic As Well As Other Grounds; But I Must Admit That, For Instance In The Suburbs Of American Cities, I Have Often Seen Women Attired More Sloppily Than Our Persian Women Normally Are.

I Cannot Avoid Wondering About The Feelings Of Those Who Are Now The Apparent Rulers Of Iran. They Are, Despite Their Mistakes And The Crimes Which They Have Instigated, Men Of Faith Who Claim To Be Sent By God. I Hope They Will Eventually Realize That The Revolution Which They Believe They Have Brought About Is Not To The Glory Of God, But Serves The Forces Of Evil.
