Ahmadinejad Urges Libyans to Unite against West
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday urged the Libyan people to work together to prevent Western powers from taking control of their country and plundering its wealth.
"Their first objective is to take control of Libya and (then) attempt to impose non-revolutionary and non-popular rulers on its people," he said in a speech broadcast live on state television from South Khorasan province.
"NATO forces intervened under the pretext of helping Libyans ... and have turned Libya into ruins ... and under the pretext of reconstructing Libya, they want to plunder its wealth," Ahmadinejad said.
Iran supported the Libyan revolt against Moammar Gadhafi but strongly denounced the military intervention of NATO that led to the victory of the insurrection.
Ahmadinejad said he was certain that Libyans would "stand in unity and expel" Western powers.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi sent a message to the new leaders of Libya hailing "the total liberation of the country," the Mehr news agency reported.
Salehi said he hoped Libyans would exercise their sovereignty by "installing a regime based on religious democracy while preserving the independence and stability of the country with no influence or interference by foreign forces."

Yes sure if the free Libyan people want their country to resemble the Failed state of Iran where it has become the centre for misery, criminality, lawlessness, terrorism, and opression, all they need to do is follow the instructions of this office boy's Supreme Criminal in his newly published book "The Supreme Leader on How to Destroy your Own Country and People While Chanting Allahu Akbar", they are the experts on it by now... THe Libyan NTC's annoucement that the country's constitution will based on Sahriia Law rather than a secular parliamentary democracy is certainly the first step in the wrong direction that's for sure. It seems they were not able to resist their impulsive urges of going "Islamic" out of shear spite to the old regime not out of common sense. Very disappointing indeed especially for all New Generation that is hoping to have a modern, economically prosperous democratic Libya.... It seems the NTC has started listening to the hissing of the Iranian serpant regime...

Yes, turn against the west that literally saved the asses of the rebels when Qaddafi's forces were right outside of Benghazi and about to slaughter thousands of people and end the revolution at its capital. That makes sense.
