If you happen to see the most dearly nation in the world

This little nugget is from Fars News, and its real title is "Iran to Set a Paradigm for Other Nations." I included the link so that I won't be accused of making up the article, but you might want to avoid clicking on it: The Fars News site resizes your browser window and who knows what else. Not to worry--what follows is the complete article:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed that his country would turn into a paradigm for the other world nations, saying that the bullying powers will have to taste the bitter flavor of such an incident in future.

"Certain powers have mobilized all their potentials, including their instruments of psychological warfare, to exert pressure on Iran to make it give up divine servitude and become their slave," Ahmadinejad said while addressing a congregation of the people in Aran and Bidgol town in Iran's central province of Isfahan on the third leg of his 29th tour of the different provinces of the country.

He further stressed that such a wish may never come true for the world powers.

"Iranian people believe in God only and are not fearful of you. This nation will set a paradigm for the world nations and become the most dearly nation in the world by resisting against your arrogance and expansionism and you will, God willing, taste the bitter flavor of what you are fearful of," the president continued.
Nothing quite punctures hyper-bravado like awkward English.
