Dr. Ahmadinejad, Honourable President of Islamic Republic of Iran

"Barat sejak awal hanya berniat menjarah minyak Libya dan hanya mendukung Moammar Khadafi jika menguntungkan mereka. Bahkan, Barat tak akan segan menyingkirkan Khadafi bila dinilai tak bisa menyokong keinginan mereka. Tunjukkan pada saya satu saja pemimpin Eropa atau Amerika yang belum pernah berkunjung ke Libya atau memiliki persetujuan dengan Khadafi"
