The heads of state and government of 120 countries gathered in the Tehran NAM Summit meeting. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu seemed to be out of his mind when he commented that the meeting was a 'stain on humanity'. The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reiterated that Iran is not making any nuclear weapons. What is more, they have termed this weapon as un-Islamic. They are only developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, to which every country has inalienable right. Still the imperialists are drumming up their false propaganda that Iran's possession of nuclear weapon is very dangerous for the world peace. The saner people of the world are now aware of the fact that the imperialists are the real enemy of peace. It is they who invaded Iraq and destroyed the excellent infrastructure of the country on the false premise that Saddan Hossain possessed WMD. Actually, America needs an to boost its arms industries. Now they are using the old tactics to demonize Iran so that they can attack Iran and destroy its growing assertive stance. But it seems that this time the world is not buying the idea. NAM heads of state and government's support to Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy attest to that new trend. People of the world are now tired of 'overt dictatorship' of UN where only the five most powerful countries impose their wishes on the whole world. So it is time we reformed UN on the basis of equal representation of all people, both strong and weak. NAM can be a strong platform to launch a movement to that end. It is time we stopped Israel from encroaching on Palestinian lands and killing its innocent people and America from killing the innocent people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The days of unjust unipolar world are over; we hear the footsteps of justice coming.
