Ahmadinejad<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Capitalism\u2019s \u201cunfair system of fault has reached the end of the road and is unable to move,\u201d Ahmadinejad, Iran\u2019s president, said in his highly anticipated speech in New York.<\/p>\n

Delegations from several nations, including the United States, walked out during the speech, partly in protest of Ahmadinejad\u2019s past statements blasting Israel and denying the holocaust.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
