1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Key international stories today include the political implications 
of Argentine President Nstor Kirchner's address to the UNGA, in 
which he urged the UN to persuade Iran to cooperate with a judicial 
probe into the 1994 bombing of the AMIA in Buenos Aires; and 
similarities between US President George W. Bush and Iranian 
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "Lastly, tough and unmistakable words appear" 
 
Joaqun Morales Sol, political columnist of daily-of-record "La 
Nacisn," opines (09/26) "(Argentina's) confrontation with Iran has 
two dimensions - a judicial and a political one. By using tough and 
unmistakable words, Nstor Kirchner sided with the Argentine 
judiciary against the Iranian ayatollah regime... 
 
"For the first time on the major world political stage, the 
Argentine President asked the insane Ahmadinejad administration to 
deliver the former Iranian government officials that have been 
summoned by Argentine judges in the AMIA bombing investigation... 
 
"... Kirchner's unresolved conflict is that there is also a 
political dimension to the Argentine-Iranian dispute. Every 
Argentine Government, from Menem to Kirchner, received information 
from local and foreign intelligence services that Iranian government 
officials took part in the attack against the AMIA. Did they do it 
on their own or did they execute a criminal act that had been 
masterminded by the Tehran government? The question, which has never 
been answered, is particularly important. It is the difference 
between regular criminals and a criminal State. If the latter was 
the case, the attack against the AMIA would have been an attack from 
a foreign government against Argentina. 
 
"Some in Argentina believe that putting pressure on Iran now is the 
same as supporting Bush. Those are the ones who always wonder where 
Washington is in order to position themselves on the other side. To 
define this dilemma, one reflection is enough - the Iranian nuclear 
program is highly dangerous for world peace, but it is the 
international community which should put the eccentric Iranian 
president at bay. Nothing like the war in Iraq should be allowed 
again because it disregarded international control procedures and 
ended up in the current disaster. 
 
"... However, the time has come for Kirchner to put an end to the 
cautious circumlocutions he used to speak about the Ahmadinejad 
administration. 
 
"After all, a president who denies the Holocaust and threatens the 
world with nuclear weapons does not deserve such thoughtful 
treatment." 
 
- "Kirchner's unusual toughness against Iran distances him from his 
allies" 
 
Ignacio Zuleta, on special assignment in New York for 
business-financial "Ambito Financiero," writes (09/26) "With an 
unusually tough address..., Argentina has put an end to its support 
for the axis of evil... In the framework of the UN General Assembly, 
Nstor Kirchner denounced the Iranian government for not cooperating 
with the AMIA judicial probe... He also urged the UN to intercede 
with Iran to allow the judicial request to go forward... 
 
"... Kirchner's strong, calculated and somewhat risky message was 
surprising because his position against Iran is a risky one both for 
the country and for himself... As time goes by, his decision will 
pass into history as one of the most important decisions made by an 
outgoing government. The victims of both attacks have truly earned 
this as well as the country, which has been exposed too often to 
dismissive attitudes from government officials on serious topics." 
 
- "Revolutionary leaders" 
 
Marcelo Cantelmi, international editor of leading "Clarn," opines 
(09/26) " US rage against the Iranian president hides... the real 
focus of the discussion. At least on the surface, Mahmoud 
Ahmadinejad is in line with some orthodox practice which the US 
should already be used to. He is a conservative (neo-conservative?) 
political leader with some tenacious and sometimes absurd religious 
mystique that is harassed by a domestic moderate movement from which 
he can only escape by emphasizing a clash with a threatening enemy. 
This is a game that his archenemy, W. Bush, knows very well and has 
also played with some luck. Yesterday Bush preferred to use Fidel to 
practice his rhetoric. However, the central issue is not their 
shared features. These kinds of leaders imply involution. 
 
 
"Ahmadinejad is on the verge of defending Hitler and fascism... He 
is not a revolutionary leader but part of the worst part of a system 
in which change means failure for both extremes of the world. The 
serious thing is that he is not the only one - on this current stage 
the dances are quite similar, the only difference is rhythm. This is 
the worst thing of all." 
 
- "If the US does not invade Iran within 24 hours..." 
 
Left-of-center "Pgina 12" carries an opinion piece by writer 
Ernesto Seman, who writes (09/26) "If the US does not bomb Iran 
within 24 hours, Nstor Kirchner will be able to continue with the 
rest of his agenda in peace, knowing that his accusation yesterday 
was not the centerpiece of someone else's mission. In fact, 
Kirchner's claims were just side claims in the flow of claims, 
threats and demands that Ahmadinejad received in New York... 
 
"Kirchner's remarks on Iran supported the warning made by French 
President Nicolas Sarkozy, who said that the Iranian nuclear program 
poses 'an unacceptable risk to the world and the region,' and German 
FM Angela Merkel's claim that Iran 'should show the world that it 
does not have nuclear weapons.' Lula let Brazil... continue its 
smooth relationship with the Middle East by not mentioning Iran, 
something remarkable for those who believe that a common security 
policy should be a priority for Mercosur. 
 
"Ahmadinejad, who spoke right after Kirchner, disregarded the 
Argentine claim and about the rest he said he believed that the 
nuclear issue is 'a closed issue.' 
 
"... The US president included Iran in a much broader group of 
'brutal regimes' along with Bielo-Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Syria 
and Zimbabwe... It's something like a Hexagon of Evil, which 
replaces the former Axis of Evil, not so much because the Evil has 
spread around the world but because the broad size of the target is 
inverse to the efficiency in solving the problem..."
