It's silly:
"Everybody has understood that Iran is the number one power in the world," Ahmadinejad said in a speech to families who lost loved ones in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
Well, especially silly to bring it up at a remembrance of the Iran-Iraq war. That was a bloody stalemate against a country that US forces ran down in record time.
My point isn't that US forces are intimidating and powerful, although they are. It's just odd that Ahmadinejad picked this time to flex Iranian muscle - when remembering a war that was hardly a Iran's brightest moment.
