Re: Iranian President
no man, that debate was over when you started assuming what my motives were rather than addressing the very real issues I have posted about this regime.
your motives are personal/profesional and also correct and innocent at the same time, i dont disagree with your motives. the consequences however of bringing these niggly issues upon ahmedinejad and his country at a time like this are damaging.

I accept Iran's pathetic policies just as much as I accept saudi arabias pathetic policies or that of takeban era afghanistan. I cant support the regime just because.
regardless of my dislike for the regime, I still feel that he was treated in an uncivilized manner by this Bollinger fellow, but I think he wanted cheap publicity and he got it. or maybe he realized doing this may get him funding from certain groups ;)
Bollinger showed himself as a man of no class, and rather than running a tier 2 ivy school, he should be the host of some idiotic shouting match opinion show like oreilly.

ahmedinejad was ridiculed for one reason and one reason only. the wider middle east issue. i assume you are not in favour of irans tactic of confronting threats and obsticles(this being my only assumption!)
as compared to pakistan and saudi iran favours pretty well in all matters concerning human rights. its just that pakistan doesnt have the blatant daggers out for it. actually no asian country can be exempt from allegations of severe human rights abuses. so what we have here is a straight head to head on the nuclear issue and irans non compliance of US dictate.
regimes, negative exposure of an alien culture to the american public, gay rights etc is all designed to knock the man down, because he is standing and mozlem!
let the world live with and accept an upstanding muslim nation. you dont have to be a fanatic to agree, this is an imperative step in dealing with islamic terrorism. if this isnt achieved then pakistan will eventually suffer
