US can no longer dictate world policy: Ahmadinejad

AFP, Dushanbe
A US delegation walked out of a conference in Tajikistan Monday during a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lambasting US policy on Afghanistan as the source of all the nation's troubles.
Ahmadinejad, speaking at a regional conference on Afghanistan, called for the immediate withdrawal of foreign troops from the country and proposed that Nato use part of its military budget to help revive the Afghan economy.
"Nato and the United States should change their policy because the time when they dictate their conditions to the world has passed," Ahmadinejad said in a speech in Dushanbe, capital of the Central Asian republic ofTajikistan.
"It's better to respect nations than to scare them and colonize them. The time of imperialism has long gone. Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history will be punished."
The US delegation to the confer-
ence, headed by Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake, left the hall when Ahmadinejad began to speak and returned after the conclusion of his speech.
Encounters — even at multinational regional conferences — between the United States and Iran are extremely rare.
The two countries cut diplomatic relations in the wake of the 1979 Islamic Revolution and ties have remained severed ever since. Tensions
are rising again over Iran's nuclear programme and Washington has never ruled out military action.
Ahmadinejad, whose country shares a huge border with Afghanistan, said that US forces had gone into the country with the aim of encircling the whole strategic region from Russia to south Asia.
"They went into Afghanistan using the pretext of the fight against terror and now under the same slogan they are surrounding Russia, India and China," Ahmadinejad said.
Iran's president repeated his doubts on the September 11, 2001 terror attacks against the United States, which he described as "enigmatic". The attacks — claimed by al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden — prompted the United States to invade Taliban-led Afghanistan.
He called on foreign troops to leave Afghanistan "in the shortest time" and said there was "no doubt that the world needs a new order".
