New York Says No To Iranian President Ahmadinejad




The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told reporters Wednesday that the United States would not support Iran's attempt to use the site for a photo op.
"Iran can demonstrate its seriousness about concern with regard to terrorism by taking concrete actions, such as dropping support for Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and suspending their uranium enrichment program, Khalilzad said.

Another interview in 60 Minutes, you gotta watch it here. in following you can find transcripts and my comments between:

In 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley asks in an exclusive interview from Iranian President Ahmadinejad conducted Thursday in Iran, he intends to press his request to visit the World Trade Center site, Ahmadinejad tells Pelley, "Well, it was included in my program. If we have the time and the conditions are conducive, I will try to do that."

"But the New York Police Department and others do not appear to want you there. Do you intend to go there anyway?" Pelley asks.

"Well, over there, local officials need to make the necessary coordinations. If they can't do that, I won't insist," the president replies.

"Sir, what were you thinking? The World Trade Center site is the most sensitive place in the American heart, and you must have known that visiting there would be insulting to many, many Americans," Pelley says.

"Why should it be insulting?" Ahmadinejad asks.

"Well, sir, you're the head of government of an Islamist state that the United States government says is a major exporter of terrorism around the world," Pelley says.

My comment: That's right the Islamic Republic of Iran's government is an exporter of terrorism around the world.

"Well, I wouldn't say that what American government says is is the prerequisite here. Something happened there which led to other events. Many innocent people were killed there. Some of those people were American citizens obviously. We obviously are very much against any terrorist action and any killing. And also we are very much against any plots to sow the seeds of discord among nations," Ahmadinejad replies. "Usually you go to these sites to pay your respects. And also to perhaps to air your views about the root causes of such incidents. I think that when I do that, I will be paying, as I said earlier, my respect to the American nation."

"But the American people, sir, believe that your country is a terrorist nation, exporting terrorism in the world," Pelley says. "You must have known that visiting the World Trade Center site would infuriate many Americans."

"Well, I'm amazed. How can you speak for the whole of the American nation?" Ahmadinejad says. "You are representing a media and you're a reporter. The American nation is made up of 300 million people. There are different points of view over there."

My comment: Scott, do you have enough knowledge to talk about a nation? Do you what does it mean or should I spell for you?
Haven’t you study any book that teach you shouldn't generalize? Persians are nice people and I know when 9/11 (September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Towers) happened many people were sad and some held candles (in a square in Tehran) for the American’s tragic loss. Honesty most people in Iran love Americans as much as they love Iranians.

We know that current government is corrupted and obviously it's not holding the most Iranian's interest at all but it doesn’t give you any right to attack to a nation.
