The following is a translation of a speech Ahmadinejad delivered in Province of Isfahan in the month of Azar. I have a feeling this speech will become as big as the “wiped off the map/vanished from pages of time” speech. The most controversial part of his speech is line number 9, which elsewhere is translated as “They have all died in vain.” but my translation is different than this.
The segment shown in the video clip seems to be running continuously, except between line 9 to 10.
Sixty five years ago, seventy years ago Second World War commenced. In this war more than sixty million people were killed. Now you travel to Europe, see if there is any name of these dead at all. Is there any indication of these dead? Never! Why? Because they did not have a high goal. They did not have any connection with the Perfect Man and Imam. They have all died in the cause of idolatry. Why is it that our Revolution has remained for thirty years? Look! Where were our enemies thirty years ago, where were we? Where are they today, where are we! If thirty years ago we were on the second step, they were on the hundredth step. Today by the Grace of God, we are on the two-hundredth step, and they on the second step. Why?
