Ahmadinejad Watch: NYC 2007

reply to post by NovusOrdoMundi


I just don't see why people are making such a big deal out of his visit in the first place. I wish people would stop making such a fuss out of things and just live and let live.

By the way - GO PACK!!! That was an awesome game to watch yesterday!

I think the big deal is that the enemy is on American soil. Would TPB even think about letting Bushie go to IRAN?
If only people would listen with an open mind....

and I mean that as a generalization, not specifically tied to anything said by either leader. Just stop having such tunnel-vision.

The real question is why is Ahmadinejad the enemy?
There is no reason he should be such. Sure many countries don't agree with all his policies, but nor do they agree with China's or Russia's.
He is just the leader of a country.

I think that its very possible that he will be executed by someone.

Lol, that will not happen. Strange how all of us think.

For me they should of let him goto ground zero in an official way. But its americas sacred site, so i assume some may be pissed of.

So how do you make an enemy a friend? We have world leaders visit the US all the time. It's not like he's going to come over here with a nuke strapped to his chest and bomb the place.

I for one applaud the man. Coming into the US and facing some fierce hatred / opposition and trying to open the lines of communication. I really think his speach and Q&A session is going to calm down the situation and tensions with Iran. I hope it does.

I also agree with Novus's earlier posts. You're spot on man. I wish I could get some audio on this computer at work so I could listen to the live feed. *sighs*

Also - if you guys haven't checked foxnews, maybe you should. I can't believe they have the headline "WORLD WAR III" on their main page. What are they trying to say with a headline like that?
Makes me wonder sometimes.

It's weird.
When you click on the WWIII headline on the fox site, it actually brings you to a decent news article.
There isn't as many of Fox's biased opinions in there as I thought there would be.
That being said, I'm going to go read some other articles about his visit and see how many facts were twisted.

im reading the article fox nes headlined as world war 3 . the leader of iran asked why do the palistinians have to pay for the halocoaust on the jews. i didnt know the halocaust and the jews displaced the the palistinians from there lands. im not trying to ba an ass. but what does the halocaust have to do with palistine. im serious i dont know some one please shed some light on that for me

zeeon, actually it says "WORD WAR III". Note that it's WORD not WORLD. I saw it too and initially thought it said world.

The UN, to put it in basic terms, took the land Palestine was made up of, and created Israel after the Holocaust event.

Look at this image:


That's how the Holocaust and Palestine are connected.

Which brings us back to why Israel has a right to exist, but Palestine does not.

I'd be pissed too if my country was stolen from me and given to a people that would establish a government to eventually bombard my people and steal from my people for their own selfish needs and wants.

hey hey - good eye. I swear I thought it said world war III.
Thanks for the clairification.

To the above poster wondering about palestein and the holocaust -
After WWII (and the holocaust), the jewish people decided they needed a nation to stay protected, and formed a nation. The nation of Isreal.
They decided, along with US help, to go back to their 'holy land' of jersualem and the west bank. However, in doing so, they displaced the Palestinians, whom had been living their for quite some time (I think a couple hundred years, but I could be wrong).

The issue is that what gives the nation of israel any right to displace palestien? Yeah, the holocaust was horrible, and the jewish people DO have a right for peace and protection - but at what cost?

I, personally, do not understand nor enjoy the fact that the United states is aligned with Israel. I wish we would sever our political ties with them and let them handle their own situation. I also personally feel that the land belonged to Palestien, and it should be returned to them. I think Europe should provide some land for the jewish nation, seeings how the holocaust took place in europe. Seems alot more logical to me than wanting to go back to your holy land that you haven't been in for the last hundred years - and killing those who were already there.

everyone beat me to the explanation, I took too long to type I suppose.
