Iranian President Mahmood Ahmadinejad at Columbia University September 24, 2007:

The Iranian nation is a cultured nation. It is a civilized nation. It seeks — it wants talks and negotiations. It’s for it.

We believe that in negotiations and talks, everything can be resolved very easily. We don’t need threats. We don’t need to point bombs or guns. We don’t need to get into conflicts if we talk. We have a clear logic about that.

We are a peaceful, loving nation. We love all nations.

Breitbart reports September 27, 2007 (05:21 AM US/Eastern):

Iranian forces have shelled deeper into northern Iraq than previously, hitting targets in an area northeast of the city of Arbil, a local official said Thursday.

“The Iranian forces began their bombardments again on Wednesday evening targeting far away from the border,” said Abdul Wahid Koani, mayor of the Kurdish Iraqi border town of Joman.

“This time the Iranian bombardment was different as it targeted a town deep inside Iraqi territory,” Koani told AFP.

Iranian artillery shells landed in the Haj Umran area, hitting targets on two mountains and villages abandoned from earlier attacks, he said, adding that they reached as far as 17 kilometres ( 10.5 miles) into Iraqi territory.

Iran confirmed for the first time on Sunday that it had been shelling camps of Kurdish militants inside northern Iraq, saying the local authorities had not listened to its warnings.

Later at publicity dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel:

He notes that Americans don’t understand Iranian history, saying that the movie 300 — with which he seems intimately familiar — was a “complete distortion of Iranian history.” Iran, he says, has never invaded anyone in its history.

See for yourself:

• 300 (the movie)
• History of Iran
• History of the Persian Empire

US Embassys are sovereign territories, but I guess Ahmadinejad forgets that he and his buddies did invade the US Embassy and hold its occupants hostage.

Now, Hillary Clinton, at Hold the Mayo:

I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if you want to know the truth, so it’s nice to be ‘home’ again in the South, which I really consider my quote-unquote home even though I live in New York most of the time…
