The letter was framed entirely in religious terms but also laid out a populist manifesto of anti-Americanism, offering illustrations of what has won the Iranian a following among many ordinary people throughout the Middle East. He presented himself as the defender not only of Muslims but of all oppressed people, including those in Africa and Latin America.

A good summary.

Why is it that the NYT has the U.N. version (from LeMonde) and the WSJ has the original? It seems to me the one I posted yesterday is exactly the same thing thing, just the actual PDF doc.
