I have a feeling that we are going to hear more of the Bush and Blair are "war criminals". Also, I would expect Iran to refrain from inflammatory statements for a while. On the US domestic front, the left, acting on behalf of Democrats, will press the case that Bush has violated US law.On relations with America:
“With America in such a ‘dirty man’ period I think nothing can be changed. In America there is a Christian Zionism. They believe that Jesus will return for the second 1,000 years. You heard from Bush when he said, ‘It is a new Crusade’. He is arousing a deep hatred, an historical hatred in this area.
“The F16 which destroyed my house is American. The Apache helicopters are American. The international decisions in the Security Council backing Israel are American. The pressure on you to help the Israelis and to consider Hamas terrorist is American.”
On US foreign policy:
“After the attack on Iraq they are suffering from a big hatred, a bad feeling from the Arabic and Islamic world and also the international community . . . They arrange for a very dirty policy in the Middle East. They attacked Afghanistan and put in (Hamid) Karzai, an American collaborator, and put in a corrupt Iraqi collaborator. And they dismantled the security of Egypt by arousing the protests of Christianity and Islam. They tried to interfere in Saudi Arabia. Now they destroy the integrity of Lebanon. Now they threaten the situation in Syria. What is running here is big crimes, international crimes.”
Update: I was wrong. Reported in the Jerusalem Post via Drudge: The Iranians warned the US and Britain that it would use its Shihab 3 missiles (1300 mile range). War rhetoric must be a common characteristic of the Axis of Evil.

When I came to the part on "foreign policy"...all I could think of is "So....where in this paragraph is there a negative?" Everything he is complaing about are good things. The march of democracy.
