Congressman Vito J. Fossella (R-NY) sent a letter to Secretary Rice yesterday asking the State Department to deny Ahmadinejad's visa. HUMAN EVENTS couldn't agree more with Rep. Fossella's sentiments. The letter is posted below.
The Secretary Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520
Dear Madame Secretary,
It has been reported that Iranian President Mahmound Ahmadinejad has requested that he be allowed to visit the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks when he travesl to the opening of the United Nations later this month. I believe that Mr. ahmadinehad has only one motivationfor wanteing to tour Ground Zero -- to mock the nearly 3,000 Americans who were killed on that day.
Mr. Ahmadinejad is the president of a country that is considered one of the world's most egregious state sponsors of terrorism. He is also a Holocaust denier who is committed to the destruction of Israel and fomenting terror and instability in the Middle East and beyond. He as American blood on his hands dating back decades from his alleged participation in the 1983 bombing of the marine barracks in Lebanon, which killed 241 soldiers, and his alleged role in the 1979 embassy hostage crisis. Evidence also links the Iranian regime to the delivery of improvised explosive devices (IED) to Iraq, which have killed countless American soldiers...

We should allow the Mossad to abduct the Iranian thug and take plausible deniability. Then they can ransom him for the end of their nuke program!!!

A politically correct, dysfunctional nation. Thank a patient Liberal. . .and all those so committed on the Left. Changing the 'mind' of a nation is quite a feat. Thank those who have allowed it. . .and all, likeminded who now follow.
Do think it would be a great idea if Columbia - and the U.N. for that matter, invited Hitler to speak alongside Ahmadinejad.
Like Nat sang with Natalie - and a few other techno-meetings - would be great to compare the dialog and the phiolosphy and the nazi roots inherent. . .that drives both these men.
Would be quite a sensation. . .IMHO. . .sarc - or less than. . .

"Ahmadinejad should be arrested as soon as he departs from his plane at JFK How about kidnapped - and then kept for 444 days. What goes around, comes around.
To: kellynla
“Arrested” is not the verb I would have used.

By treaty she can’t, but perhaps he could be issued a very severely limited access visa: Airport to UN and back to airport. US institutions off limits.

This would be a great time to re-visit that treaty, and the whole issue of the UN. Announce that he is barred from US shores and that we are renouncing the idiotic UN treaty!! (I know that won't happen, but I can dream) My belief is that we need to abolish the UN, keep all these dogsh** dictators and their flunkies away from US shores, and announce a new global organization only for democracies and some other close allies who are moving toward better government. We do not need to be the chief sponsor (and funder) for the dungheap of the UN.
As for claims that the UN is necessary as a forum for all nations, a meeting place with Russia and China, NO. It might have seemed like a good idea in 1945, but the past 60 years have shown what a farce it is much of the time.
We don't need to give the world's worst governments such a forum, we need to elevate the position and influence of all the friendly governments that share at least enough of the values of freedom and democracy not to be complete repressive dungheaps ala much of the Middle East, Africa, and yes Russia and China. We can meet the latter two powers 1-on-1 when desireable, we don't need to give them heightened influence on the Security Council.

As much as I detest the UN and Ahmadinejad, I say honor the treaty.
To: kellynla
I think we should let him speak where ever he wants. Then we gather all those up who are there to listen to him. And we send them to Iran. They can listen to him speak over there from then on and he will have no need to come here again. Or we do you idea and bust his keyster at the airport. I like that.
