How would you rate Ahmadinejad's speech tonight?

[Truthiness Inspector]

For those of you who watched Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech at the United Nations tonight, what are your thoughts?

His speech was:

[wakeme2008]

1. Of course compared to Bush anybody would look good or better

:)

[Balbus]

2. Ahmadinejad is the man!

I wish he was our leader! Hell, I wish he was our leader for life! I want to move to Iran.

[BootinUp]

3. lol. n/t

15. So then you want Muslim Sharia law to be the law of our land.

So you want women to wear full body sacks, restricted from employment outside the home, death by stoning for sexual immorality, NO ABORTIONS, women not to leave the home without a male escort, women to be killed by a male of the family if her conduct offends the family honor.

You want gays executed for being gay.

You want it to be law to pray to Mecca five times a day.

Tell me again what kind of Democrat you are.

Just because Ahmdinejad is having a problem with Bush, it DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE IS A GREAT GUY. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. Sometimes, as in this case, he is an asshole too.

[Balbus]

18. No I don't - I was being facetious.

[OldSiouxWarrior]

19. You gave no indication of it. NT

[Balbus]

20. I guess subtlety is not my strong-point.

[OldSiouxWarrior]

23. It is difficult to do that on the internet.

There are no voice inflections or body language to modify the written message.

[Bucky]

29. Once you move to Iran, they're not going to let you use satire

Apparently if you use any form of sarcasm, they cut your hand off, according to Sharrhea law. I'm series.

[Blackthorn]

25. Maybe you should have got some expert advice

I found it perfectly clear.

[FearofFutility]

33. I'm not surprised that you didn't recognize that the poster was being

facetious after some of the posts I've read here.

[DoYouEverWonder]

21. Have you ever been to Iran?

I have a friend who just came back after a five month visit and she had a wonderful time. Don't believe everything the M$M tells you.

[Swamp Rat]

22. I am listening to classical Persian music

It is very beautiful.

From what I have been told, by Iranians, the majority wants democracy - just not at the end of a gun barrel.

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. That's pretty much what my friend said

that the people she met there have no desire for another war after what they went through during the Iraq/Iran War.

[Swamp Rat]

27. You know,

I'm glad you are still on this board. :hug:

[DoYouEverWonder]

28. The feeling is mutual

:hug:

Thanks.

[geek tragedy]

17. Please tell me you're kidding. If not, you should move to Iran. eom

[Bucky]

30. I can't believe U sed thatttteee! R U crazy? Iran is not like Disney World

Wait till thay take over here. I don't think you think to good if that'z what you think, yo

[rzemanfl]

4. He made a lot of good points about how unfairly

structured the U.N. appears to Muslim countries.

[IChing]

6. Brazil said the same thing on the structure of the Security Council

This is an issue with the UN that needs to be addressed, no one from Africa, South America or the middle east has veto power.
President Lula addressed some of the same issues that Iran did and I don't care what one thinks about Iran. These are the world's gripes against the G8, WTO and the security council.

[Caution]

5. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend in his case

[Frances]

7. I didn't see the speech,

but I would not want to live in Iran today. I have taught many Iranians whom I liked personally, but I don't like the government of Iran. The reason I am against Bush is that he wants to limit our freedoms and he is trying to destroy our constitution which gives us those freedoms.

[dave502d]

8. The guy is a nut case just like the one we have. n/t

[Erika]

11. Agreed n/t

[IChing]

9. Your choices stink, so I didn't vote

Great no, then I have a choice of mediocre and then nut job.

How many people listened to Brazil, France or other nation's speech?

[Truthiness Inspector]

10. Sorry about that

but that is why I included "other."

Why didn't you just vote "other" and then expand for DUers who missed the speech?

[Disturbed]

13. The Council

The Council seated five permanent members who were originally drawn from the victorious powers after World War II:

* France The French Republic
* Russia The Russian Federation
* United Kingdom The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
* United States The United States of America
* The Republic of China

[ShaneGR]

12. He's no better than Bush...

Just as crazy if not more.

[UTUSN]

14. Posts #8 & 12 have spoken for me n/t

[oncall247]

16. Best constructives suggestions about UN reform in decades.

He dealt with a lot of truths. Bush dealt with a lot of hyperbole.

[cboy4]

26. Extremist nut......just like the occupier of the White House.

32. Ahmadinejad does tend to make better points than Bush.

Talking to Brian Williams, he asked, "Did Iran invade a country bordering America? Or did America invade a country bordering Iran?" He's got us there.

I always cringe when I hear Bill Clinton speak (on any topic) and then compare him with the Chimp in my mind. But you know it's bad when the leader of our next "enemy" produces the same result.

Is there any world leader with as weak a case to present as ours? Even the evil ones at least operate in the real world.
