This is Kian Mokhtari here again. And I have more freedom to write about the real criminals in this world than I ever had in the West in my sixteen years of journalism. you always describe anything to do with the Iran as “state controlled” or “state owned.”
Well who do you think owns you? The same people who have just screwed you out of $trillions and landed you all in it with the credit crisis. If this is what they do to you -who are supposedly their own- imagine what they do to people in the third and developing worlds.

Hi, let me end your confusion. I am Kian Mokhtari. I was actually referring to George Orwell's '1984'. I meant the great leader speaks in Washington and we all have to obey in the crescent of chaos.
Your natural enmity toward facts is astonishing. Your governments are killing us over here. They call it resource management. If you can't be sympathetic don't be so dismissive of what is happening.

Shannon – you obviously don't know your Newspeak syntax – it would be 'doubleplusungood'.

DOH!

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Barack Obama on Thursday of behaving like his predecessor toward Iran and said there was not much point in talking to Washington unless the U.S. president apologized.

I guess Obama is double minus bad now.

Iran understands the love affair that the world has with Obama. By reiterating Obama's opinion that Iran should be left alone, Iran is trying to convince the world to not interfere with them while they murder their own people.

Perhaps unaware that it was using a phrase taken from the nightmarish, counter-intuitive language known as Newspeak from George Orwell’s novel 1984

How could that be 'unaware'? It was put in quotes, it is not proper English, and it is not a common phrase except when referencing Orwell.

The question is WHY did they choose to use that phrasing.
