MEMRITV: "The New Middle East" - Iranian TV Video
The following is the text [original video at the link above] from an Iranian dramatic clip, titled "The New Middle East," which aired on the Iranian news channel (IRINN) on October 19, 2006. In it, a small girl expresses her wish for the killing of U.S. Secretary State Condoleezza Rice.
Girl [voice over]: How come we are considered terrorists? You are the ones who bomb and harm Lebanon. You are destroying its beauty, its appeal, its land, its people, its happiness... And after all this, we are the terrorists?! A journalist once asked me: If they took you to see Condoleezza Rice, what would you say to her? I told the journalist that I would say to Condoleezza Rice: For me to be happy - you should be killed. Just these words.
[Condoleezza Rice is then shown on screen playing the piano, against a rolling backdrop of war scenes. The following text is shown on screen, as the backdrop continues]

What? No credit to Mahmoud Imannutjob for supplying Hezbollah with Iranian-manufactured missiles that have been fired at Israel for the preceding five years. Surely some oversight.
