Iraqi President Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani on Thursday charged that America's upcoming presidential election "ignores the basic requirements of democracy" and accused Washington of backing international terrorism.
"America is ruled by men who suppress liberty at home and spread terror across the world. Power is in the hands of an unelected few who have retained power through an electoral process that ignores the basic requirements of democracy," Rafsanjani said in a statement released by the Iraqi Parliament.
"The November 2, 2004 presidential elections are sadly consistent with this oppressive record," said the Iraqi president.
