LONDON, February 20 (IranMania) - Iran's Minister of Defense and Logistics of Armed Forces Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said that the human rights favored by US President George Bush are based on clandestine cells, torture, terror, wire tapping of American civilians, sacrilege to religious sanctities, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and attack on civilians.

According to the Public Relations Department of Defense Ministry, the minister made the remarks in the first nationwide gathering on the goals of the Defense Ministry, IRNA reported.

It is among the wonders of the 21st century that the US administration with its black record of activities claim leadership of the world towards democracy and human rights, he said.

The US disgrace due to its crimes in Abu Ghraib prison indicates that the US administration has no respect for the most basic principles of human rights, adding that the US through such shameful acts has been completely isolated and hated in the world.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the defense minister said that sustainable development should be based on strategic, financial and qualitative planning.

Expansion of defense industries would lead to more national strength, reduction of foreign threats, acquisition of new technological know-how and

increase in the number of creative managers, said the minister.

Highlighting the current political and security status in the region and the world, he said taking into power of Afghan Muslim mujahedin in

Afghanistan, victory of big coalition in Iraq, great victory of Hamas in Palestine's legislative election, the massive turnout of Iranian people in

nationwide rallies marking the 27th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution and worldwide protests by Muslims against publication of

sacrilegious cartoons by Western media, have sealed the doom of US policies in the Middle East and the world.
