Why is our government allowing the President of Iran in this country?

1) Aw, shucks. I love you too, man. :1_grouphug:

2) Just check out the conservative blogosphere.

 

Oh no. You said the press. I am asking what press? Where are these articles in the press you claimed?

 

And I explained what I meant by "the press":

"in the press - printed, televised, and on the Internet."

 

So where in print are these article showing such. Most newspapers have websites. I have yet to see such.

 

Pres. Ahmadinejad Address
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivers a speech and takes questions from the audience during a National Press Club Luncheon Series event. Pres. Ahmadinejad will speak through a videoconference from New York City, where he is attending the U.N. General Assembly.

This is on C-SPAN2 right now.

Update: The man is as boring in his speaking as any American politician.

 

As well as hypocritcle.

 

Unfortunately, hypocrisy is an all too common human frailty.

 

He refused to deny that Iranian missles have been going into Iraq.

 

He is a typical politician. He doesn't answer anything straightforwardly.

But we have our own politicians to be concerned about. He is the Iranians' problem.

It is interesting that while Ahmadinejad is allowed in the country but he can't go further than 25 miles from the U.N. building. So it's not like he has carte blanche to travel the country.

 

Other than in Third World countries, most people travel more than 25 miles from their birthplace during their lifetime. Lots of Americans travel more than 25 miles to work each workday - one way.

 

While I still don't think this guy should be allowed on U.S. soil, I am stunned by the honesty & courage of Lee Bolinger's opening barrage of questions. I know there will always be the idiots who say Bush is worse than him, but between that & the interview on 60 Minuites, I think this will wake up a lot of folks to the fact that this is one dangerous little dude.

 

Ahmadinejad may be dangerous but, fortunately, he has little real power in Iran except to run his mouth.

 

I don't believe that, for a second....the man is a tyrant.


An Iranian website fiercely critical of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been shut down in an apparent fresh crackdown on anti-government dissent on the internet.

I am, of course, referring to his inability to cause our nation harm. The Iranian people elected the man. They will have to deal with him and his policies if he stands for election in a couple of years.

 

And the Iranian people will also have to deal with the record high temeratures their cities suffer, when the rest of the world decides he must go. Even France has had it. The clock is ticking on ole' Dinnerjacket.

 

"Unlike in the United States, in Iran the president is not the head of state nor the commander in chief. That status is held by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader, whose role combines civil and religious authority. At the moment, this president’s power comes from two sources, they say: the unqualified support of the supreme leader, and the international condemnation he manages to generate when he speaks up."

I pray to God that you are wrong.
