Iranian News Agency: Iranian Lawmaker Slams Bush for Virginia Tech Shooting
The following is from today's Fars News Agency: An Iranian lawmaker said the homicidal incident at Virginia University illustrates that those claiming to be responsible for the establishment of global security are not even capable of protecting their own citizens. Speaking to FNA in the northwestern city of Tabriz on Tuesday, Eshrat Shayeq advised White House residents to deal with the United States' domestic issues instead of invading the different regions of the world and shedding the blood of innocent people. "The United States' internal problems in the different cultural, social, political and economic grounds have aggravated to such an extent that the public opinion in that country does not accept the analyses presented by the US Republicans and the defeat of the Republic party in the recent midterm legislative elections substantiates the same fact," she said. The legislative official further stressed the point that the increasing problems of the Americans should not be explored in Iraq or Afghanistan, "rather, the US decision-makers and politicians should swerve their view from outside to inside the United States." "While the US president is under growing criticism for his performance and policies on Iraq, incidents such as what happened at Virginia University, undermine the status and position of the Neoconservatives in that country," she continued.
