...Shah's presence in the U.S. is a disgrace and an insult to the integrity of the American people, regardless of their view on the hostage issue. The conflict is not between our nations. Our anger is not directed at Americans because they are Americans. We have no genes for anti-Americanism in us. Our anger is directed at those in power who installed and maintained the Shah for 25 years, as they still do for dictators in Chile, Guatemala, Paraguay, the Philippines and around the world...

...United States insulted the Iranian national honor and the Islamic revolution by giving the deposed Shah a visa. The ex-dictator represents all the pain, torture, humiliation, deprivation and repression suffered for decades by our nation. And just at a time when Iranians believed Washington at least tacitly recognized this fact, the ex-tyrant triumphantly enters New York-a malicious, outrageous, insupportable insult to all the blood that was spilled for the cause of liberation...

...Japanese Foreign Ministry expressed its "serious concern" over the island force and "the hope" that the Soviets would withdraw it for the sake of "neighborly relations." Soviet Ambassador to Tokyo Dmitri Polyansky, however, rejected the protest as a "reckless act of interference in Soviet internal affairs." That added insult to injury, because Tokyo disputes Moscow's claims over the islands, which have been occupied by Soviet troops since the end of World...
