Hey, whad’ya know. He and Obama will have some common ground when they sit down for tea and a chat over the crazy man’s nuclear program.

United Nations (CNN) — Attending a United Nations session on alleviating world poverty Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed capitalism for the world’s woes.

“The demanding liberal capitalism and transnational corporations have caused the suffering of countless women, men and children in so many countries,” Ahmadinejad said at a U.N. General Assembly session on the Millennium Development Goals.

“It is my firm belief that in the new millennium, we need to revert to the divine mindset, to our true nature for which man was created and, indeed, to the just and fair governance,” he said.

Says the man who leads an oppressive regime that executes gay people, beats women for not dressing in accordance with Islam, and shoots protesters in the streets. Please, lecture us on the suffering of innocent people. I’ll get some popcorn.

His appearance at the United Nations comes just three months after the Security Council imposed tough new sanctions on Iran to try to force it to suspend its nuclear program. Iran is also under global scrutiny for alleged human rights violations in a crackdown on dissent following last year’s disputed elections that returned Ahmadinejad to the presidency.

He’s violating international law by pursuing a nuclear weapons program. His thugs beat women for not dressing as he and the mullahs think they should. And he only remains in power because the 2009 election was rigged in his favor and opponents were beat and even killed. So let’s invite him to lecture us on morals at the United Nations.
