December was also the day Mr. Karzai entered the presidential palace.

A month and a half later, on January 28 of the year

2002,

Mr. George W. Bush came to the...

session,

the annual session of the U.S. Senate, and gave a speech.

He started badmouthing Iran.

"Iran is part of the axis of evil, Iran is this, that, and the other."

He started speaking ill of us, even though at that very moment, we had pl--

had also put an airport at the Americans' disposal so their planes could make a landing, an emergency

somewhere behind the scenes of relations between the two countries,

Iran and the U.S. to get anywhere. Israel,

the Jews.

Whereas if the Americans had this pretext, given the help that we

had provided them in Afghanistan with the events of September 11th...

had happened, they could take the biggest bridge

Uh—

I mean, the normalization of relations,

take the normalization.
