Now Playing: Bloodshed Ahmadinejad: US accountable for Bahrain crackdown

Description: Bloodshed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rebuked the foreign military presence in Bahrain, calling the presence of Saudi and UAE forces an attempt to counter the will of the people, and said he is holding the US fully accountable for their actions. "This military invasion was a foul and doomed experience. Regional nations hold the US government accountable for such a heinous behavior," Ahmadinejad told reporters. "The US seeks to save the Zionist regime and suppress popular uprisings. So, it supports certain governments." He argued the uprisings are a protest to US presence in the region as much as they are calls for change in national governments, saying the US controls the governments the people want to destroy. "How can a person rule his people while he interacts with them via arms? A government should belong to its people," exclaimed the Iranian President. Ahmadinejad said violence against protestors would solve nothing and only enrage the people further to push harder on their demand. He called on the Bahraini government to negotiate and meet the demands of the people. The people of Bahrain want an end to their corrupt US-backed government, several have died and hundreds injured as thousands march against the ruling al-Khalifa family which has turned to using the police and foreign militaries on its own people to maintain control.
