   Unfortunately most of us will not be able to judge for ourselves which is   
   the more accurate translation.  However most of the western media will not   
   allow us to know that there are alternative translations, and therefore   
   interpretations, of the speech available.  If they really cared about   
   informing their readers, they would print both, and invite various   
   specialists to debate which is the more accurate portrayal of the Iranian   
   leader's words.  That way people could make up their own minds.  However   
   that's never been what the media has been about.  It is pretty clear that   
   the process of manufacturing consent for an unprovoked war against Iran is   
   continuing apace.
