Current Events-UN

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012/09/26/protesters-demonstrate-against-ahmadinejad-at-un/57845238/1

Ahmadinejad's speech, which meandered and touched on religious aspirations and prophecies, critiqued a "world order" he said is dominated by "power centers" which he didn't name and that he said dominate weaker countries for materialistic reasons. He urged a restructuring of the United Nations in a way that gives equal say to all and eliminates the veto power of the U.N. Security Council members, which he said use their power to trample the rights of other nations.

"God willing, a new order will come together, and we'll do away with everything that distances us," Ahmadinejad said. "Now even elementary school kids throughout the world have understood that the United States government is following an international policy of bullying." He said, "Bullying must come to an end. Occupation must come to an end."
