CNN: Members of the U.S. delegation and several European delegations at the United Nations walked out during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's address to the General Assembly on Thursday afternoon. During his address, Ahmadinejad said the U.S. government views Zionism as "sacred," and said that "European countries still use the Holocaust after six decades as the excuse to pay ransom or fine to Zionists." Delegations from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and other nations walked out during the speech >>>

Regarding 911
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sun Sep 25, 2011 06:22 AM PDTI have read a ton of theories. It is impossible to know which is right and wrong. People just believe what they want. I guarantee you will never know. Just like the Kennedy assassination.
In order to know you need a real investigation. That will never happen because it is too controversial. Therefore you need to do rational criminal analysis. The standard "motive" detective business.
Motive: many could have had a motive. AQ lost big at the end. They lost the base of operation and now their leader. Rationally they lost but we could say there were not rational. Therefore a rational argument may not apply. Bush got the excuse to build a base in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the cost to USA has nearly bankrupted the nation. Therefore USA lost by did Bush really care. A number of people made a lot of money. But then they made even more on the "financial meltdown". Again we got lots of motives with no real proof. At the end we got to accept we shall never know. I have no plans to worry about it since there is nothing I may do.

Walkouts are stupid
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sun Sep 25, 2011 05:59 AM PDTYou may disagree with someone but walking out is childish. I don't like AN but I would not have walked out. It provides him with fodder to criticize others. Why not stay there then write an article proving he is wrong?
If representatives keep walking out you won't have a UN. It is pretty weak as is and this makes it worse. The idea is to listen to opposing ideas and discuss them. Not to stamp your feet like kids and walk out.
I think the UN representatives are obligated to listen to one another. If they don't want the job then resign. Get someone who has a strong stomach to get the job. No one is forced to become a UN represntative. Yes IMHO you have to stay.
The Walkout Keyword!
by HHH on Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:57 AM PDTThe keyword to walkout is the word "Zionist". As soon as Ahmadinejad insults the zionists all on zio payroll walkout!
Mr. Delavar, 9/11 was an inside job. If you don't believe it go check the stocks volume for Delta & American airlines in the 2days before 9/11. The volume which was normally in the 700,000's suddenly rose to double! which means some individuals had prior knowledge. Also building 7 came down with nothing but demolition and demolition takes weeks to prepare for so these buidings were prepared not to mention the freefall on thousands of tons of concrete & steel and many other evidence.
To be a patriotic citizen means you should hold your government responsible for its deviations from the constitution not to mention its crimes against its citizens.
Israel was definitly involved in 9/11 & had prior knowledge.

by Delavar1 on Fri Sep 23, 2011 10:01 AM PDTI disagree. Nobody has to tolerate a terrorist such as Ahmadinejad's speech. No one is obligated to listen to rapists and terrorists, whether it is Ahmadinejad/Khamenei or Bin Laden. I personally do not listen to his speeches because it makes me nauseous.
Doesn't AN do this every time he gives a speech at the UN?
by Reality-Bites on Fri Sep 23, 2011 07:17 AM PDTI'm sure the vertically challenged, "Mr President" has said pretty much the same things before at the UN. You'd think he'd change his tune once in a while, but no, not our Mahmoud.
Truth hurts! It takes one to know one!
by VATANAM on Thu Sep 22, 2011 11:44 PM PDTHe forgot IRI's atrocities against her own people. Regardless, it really shows how immature those delegates (countries) are who due to political calculation, GHAHR kARDAN! Childish! They are supposed to be there just to listen to the speakers regardless if the agree or not. and these people lead the nations? No wonder there are so much problem in the world!
just like to know
by iamfine on Thu Sep 22, 2011 08:32 PM PDTWho will be the president of Iran.? Will he be selected by the Iranian people or by Kamanaie? – your comments are appreciated
You have a point alx1711
by Bahram G on Thu Sep 22, 2011 07:50 PM PDTOf course we care, as human beings, for anyone or people suffering. And Palestinians have been suffering badly for far too long. But can we Iranians really help them? I mean real genuine effective help. Is AN helping them? Or is he hurting them and using them? I really can't say.
What I can say is that all kinds of "big boys" have been trying to help the Palestinian and don't seem to get anywhere. It is really tragic.
Now, you help make us focus on our own problems. The mess our home is in it, our people suffering immensely under the Islamist akhoonds. That's where we need to focus. Charity begins at home. And this AN fellow is not very charitable to the people who pay his salary and foot the bill for the chartered plane that brought him to New York.

I wonder how long it will take to put AN on trial?

by Bahram G on Thu Sep 22, 2011 07:08 PM PDTI should realize, you say...
You should also realize when you see a rhetorical comment and a wish rather than legal opinion you rendered.
I sure hope that a co-thug of AN, the president of Sudan reads your ruling and feels reassured and comes to address the UN and hug and kiss AN in the hallway.
Take good care

Waste!
by Arj on Thu Sep 22, 2011 06:44 PM PDTIf there is anyone foremost and utterly detrimental to the palestinian cause, it's Ahmadinejad and IRI with their empty slogans. For not only Palestinians have to contend with a poised enemy, but they have to put up with the stupid friends too. As per the old saying; doshman-e dana bolandat mikonad, bar zaminat mizanad nadoan-e doost!

This is like the pitiful criticiziing the beneath pitiful, god save iran. Does this AN not watch tv? Doesn't he realize what happened to the societies of every single enemy of the US?

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Sep 22, 2011 04:46 PM PDTYou should realize that Interpol has no authority to arrest a head of state. I don't like AN. I think he got in by fraud and the used violence to remain in power. Nevertheless he is at UN as a "head of state".
That means Interpol has ZERO power to do a darn thing. And that is the way it should be. Otherwise UN becomes more of a joke than it already is. The time will come and AN hopefully will be brought to justice. But not today and not on this visit.

Dear Vildemose
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Sep 22, 2011 02:38 PM PDTI agree with most of what you said. However there is one thing I am not sure about. Why did Obama kill OBL? There are two reasons I see:
Ahmadinejad was
by vildemose on Thu Sep 22, 2011 02:13 PM PDTAhmadinejad was belligerent and gratuitously antagonistic. I don't think him or his boss are interested in any kind of grand bargain.
What is he trying to accomplish???
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad triggered a mass exodus from the U.N. General Assembly’s chamber Thursday with a combative speech that blasted the United States and other Western powers and questioned whether Islamist terrorists were behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The Iranian leader, known for his bomb-throwing rhetoric, used his allotted 15 minutes before the world body to blame the West for a list of ills throughout history, from slavery to the two world wars and the global economic crisis.
He also criticized the Obama administration for killing Osama bin Laden, suggesting that the al-Qaeda leader could have been the star witness at a trial that would reveal the true culprits behind the attacks on New York and Washington.
“Instead of assigning a fact-finding team, they killed the main perpetrator and threw his body into the sea,” Ahmadinejad said. Meanwhile, those who raised questions about Sept. 11 or the Nazi Holocaust were “threatened with sanctions and military action,” he said.
His words sent diplomats streaming for the exits, starting with the U.S. delegation and followed by dozens of Europeans and others. More than a third of the General Assembly seats were empty by the time Ahmadinejad finished speaking, to polite applause.
. But there were no olive branches in evidence during his sharply worded speech, which was accompanied by finger-wagging and dramatic hand gestures.
How about assugbubg a fact-finding mission to the crimes and mass/chain murderes and narco-terrorism of IRI?

by Simorgh5555 on Thu Sep 22, 2011 01:28 PM PDTIts astonishing to think that policemen and secret agents are being paid to prevent someone from assassinating Ahmadinejad. Would you take a bullet for this worthless scoundrel's life?

by Delavar1 on Thu Sep 22, 2011 01:22 PM PDT"Iran had nothing to do with 911". That's true but one needs to distinguish between Iran/Iranians and those occupying it(i'e the govt.) The Govt. in Iran has been terrorizing Iranians for the past 30 years and have been creating, supporting terrorist groups all over the world. So in essence the theocracy in Iran tantamounts and is synonymous with terrorism and those representing it such as Ahmadinejad should not be allowed to step foot in NY only 10 years after 911 events and just a few days after 911 anniversary. This is an insult to all Americans and Iranians.

I am equally appalled by those who walk out or criticize him only when he points out the injustice and crimes at the hands of the West/Israel.

i hear you delavar. you
by hamsade ghadimi on Thu Sep 22, 2011 12:17 PM PDTi hear you delavar. you didn't even mention the cool million iran got before ahmadi came to the u.s.!
and don't mind iri's internet response team. a perferred strategy by them is to equate politician of all countries so that the ones from iran (and consequently iran's reprehensible deeds inside and outside the country) don't stand out --> if they're all a-holes, then what're you complaining about?
here's the same thing damavand said by another user (or is it?) in a different way (in the obama speech feature in i.com's front page):
Sometimes I think all of them including Ahmadinejad, the Iranian version of these ass holes hypocrites , are being trained in one school and that is the Devil College of Technology...
