Iranian President Mohammad Khatami: America is the Root of Worldwide Terror

Mohammad Khatami: We can now fully comprehend the roots of the violence, the roots of terrorism, and the roots of insecurity worldwide. The roots of terrorism are the discrimination and double standard (of America), and the division of mankind into Americans and non-Americans. These roots also stem from the belief held by those in power in America that in order to ensure their interests they have the right to cause wars and cause coup d'etat, to interfere in other countries' (affairs), and to apply economic, military, and political and propagandistic pressure on anyone aspiring to independence and desiring freedom.
