You are, for some odd reason, attempting to change what Ahmadenijad said for reason beyond understanding.

Where? It sure wasn't in that lengthy diatribe of his you posted. I looked high and low, and couldn't find any wisdom in it anywhere.

Typical dictatorial behaviour... by the US GOV! They don't respect foreign country's sovereignty, why would they respect a speech? USA MUST GO DOWN. Either by economy or else. Land of ignorant people, and evil "leaders".

Cops is a good show.. especially when people who are not knowledgable about how the US political / judicial / Executive structure works and attempts to use it as an example.
I would love to see the Iranian counterpart, but for some reason they dont allow it. Is it because Sharia law on TV when interpreted by power hungry clerics who have an IQ slightly higher than that of a sea snail would look bad for the clerics and the religion itself?
If you were to actually educate yourself you would learn that alcohol in the u.s is a major cause of homicide, poverty, murder, violence, unwanted pregnancy, domestic violence, retardation, social degradation, etc. A country Like Iran is much much older and morally advanced compared to the juvenile west.
There is nothing wrong with banning the sale of Alcohol. The crime comes in when possession of that item becomes a crime against the state that is punishable by death.
Of course Iran has gay people. They just dont wear g-string and pink tube tops while yelling down the streets for rights. They keep it in the bedroom. Its not a phenomena like it is in the states.
Good thing Iran doesnt have any gay people... They would be in a world of problems if they did.
There are more executions in the US, people serving life terms for pot. People electrocuted or gassed then found not guilty after they died. Iran is as religious as places in the US. Some are fanatical, some are agnostic, some are atheists. Look, normal guys. Handsome too. They like Cannibal Corpse.
I love how people from that neck of backwoods expresses the opinions they are told to about other countries. Stray to far off the reservation and you could end up on top of a bus with a noose around your neck for crimes against God, whatever the hell that means.
You have failed to provide sources that show ahmadenijad saying the holocaust was real.
Please provide us with a source that supports your claim.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide is campaigning on behalf of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani whose case has attracted attention in dozens of countries.
The human rights group has told Sky News the 34-year-old's sentence may have been annulled but fears remain he will be put to death.
A spokesman said: "We've had some reports that there has been a verbal announcement from the court in Iran that the sentence is annulled but we urge caution.
"It's been known that verbal announcements have been directly contradicted by later written statements. We are still calling for international pressure to be kept up."
Sky sources say Nadarkhani was given a verbal assurance last year that he would not be sentenced to death but then was.
I am resolute in my faith and Christianity and have no wish to recant.
Christian Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani
The case centres on alleged apostasy - the abandonment or renunciation of one's religion.
Pastor Nardarkhani was born to Muslim parents but did not practise the faith and then converted to Christianity when he was 19.
He became a member of the Protestant evangelical Church of Iran and held services in "home churches" in the town of Rasht.
In 2009, he fell foul of the authorities when he challenged the law which insists that all schools should teach Islam.
He was arrested in October 2009 and a year later was sentenced to death for apostasy on a charge which has doubtful legality in the Iranian civil legal system, but which is underpinned by sharia law.

I agree that some people have a hard time seeing Iran as anything but the enemy...but...this is not true. The VAST MAJORITY of Iranians are good people simply looking to have what we take for granted...basic freedoms. The Iranian poplulous consists of a majority amount of people between the ages of 1 and 30. If fact this country has the largest ratio of young outnumbering old in the world.
The youth of Iran is a bunch of computer savy...twitter generation....checking out Facebook generation...eager to obtain freedom at much risk...people. They dream of a Western style democracy in their country and absolutely HATE WITH A PASSION...the old religious guard.
One of the sayings of a youthful Iranian is...THE REAL REVOLUTION IS YET TO BEGIN! This is of course a swipe at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard that emerged in 1979. These people are NOT ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES. They need our help. Split Infinity

People don't want to hear Iranians are normal people and Iran is a really neat place that does nutty things. They think things "we" do are nutty. Alcohol is illegal in Iran.. weed and hookers are here, that mean nobody gets laid & stoned at the same time?.
Iran is run by elitists douche bags who do bad things.. so what exactly makes them so special & newsworthy?.. besides an obvious aggressive war agenda / media campaign.
Everyone who wants to define ahmadinejads entire wordy long winded lecture about WWII as "he denies the holocaust".. it being pseudo intellectually retarded. The guy says lots of things that can be construed many ways.. its an endless silly argument. Seems his only real "crime" is questioning the "official" story.
..and officials are usually officially FOS... IMO 60+ million deaths of WWII was the "holocaust".. no tribes suffering & death was "special" or unique...
