Iranian people are muslim, and in Islam womwn are very respectable; and Iranian people are completely satisfied with their lives. They have real freedom.
he has iron balls and why? coz hes true! usa has bombs and israel has them but iran cant have em! iraq attacked iran and fought a war with them for 8 years and saddam was supported by? yes USA thank you the same dick cheney visited iraq and met saddam and congratulated him!
i dont get it, the only country in the history that used nuclear weapons where the united states, and now, the country with more nuclear heads is the u states.has anyone told them to destroy their nukes?
"We have no gays in Iran" doesn't mean we have no gays in Iran. It means "We are a consertive country you idiot, get the point." Stupid question; You don't ask a conservative any religion country about gay rights why would you want to ask the president of Iran. Nobody in Iran flaunts sexuality and especially not homosexuality. And before you judge keep in mind that America doesn't acknowledge gay rights either and only recently has homosexuality seized to be taboo in your own free country.
He's a smart man. Evil?? I don't know. If he is then he is a clever devil because he has disguised his evilness well and made the west look like the satans.
Maybe it is not about name calling. Maybe the next time we as Americans hear something on the news about "how bad" a person is we will begin doing our own research. Maybe that way we can make up our own minds instead of having the media do it for us. This man is nothing like what he has been portrayed. Does not mean I want him over my house of dinner though...:)
The unfortunate thing here is that he is saying things he knows mainstream America will LIKE even though his ACTIONS ARE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE TO WHAT HE IS SAYING. Essentially he is lying through his teeth because his actions are cruel and ignorant and sexist and homophobic.
He did not say he doesn't believe the Holocaust did not happen. He wanted to determine what casued this anomoly. What made people follow a mad man & massacre hundreds of people. It's a sensible academic question. Americans (Prescott Bush primarily)& the Vatican funded Hitler. This fact goes unquestioned. When a scholar questions why did Germans follow a murderous agenda Ahmadinejad is painted a terrorist funding lunatic. He was totally misquoted.
It is a shame that this man was treated so nastily in our home court. No one can rightly defend that type of behavior. He spoke with poise under fire. He made valid arguments. I consider myself an academic. He presented his answers to questions (under fire at that) lucidly and intellectually. I am ashamed that American would treat a guest so disgraceful a manner.
Presented valid arguments in an intellectual fashion? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Him saying that homosexuals do not exist in Iran is a valid and true response? Please, don't write such statements on YouTube that you agree with Ahmadinejad and simultaneously present yourself as an academic. You are merely presenting yourself as an ignorant fool.
Your equivocation of valid and true statements displays a degree of foolishness in yourself: the PRESENTATION of his arguments may be both valid and true, or mutually exclusively either. Furthermore, to equivocate agreement and scholarship is precisely the sort of ignorance and parochial mind capsule that Ahamadinejad speaks about. Of all things, you should not be compelled to lambast and respond polemically to his panegyric when it calls for open and scholarly discourse.
I mentioned nothing of agreement and scholarship. I said, "He presented his answers to questions lucidly and intellectually." You may disagee, agree or both. That is what a scholar does! He/she listens to the point of discussion, researches the facts of the matter and then makes an opinion based on those facts. I am not saying I agreed with it all. But after I saw this speech I researched it! Can you say the same?
He did not answer questions "intellectually" because he just dodged every question with a bunch of nicey-nice BS that sounds like logic to the weak-minded. He has obviously studied all the PC Americanese babble in our mainstream media and he is just regurgitating our own BS to avoid answering tough questions.
Nobis - you are the one who is brainwashed by THIS media. Mahmud says they respect women yet in his own country he teaches that it is OK to beat them with a rod to keep them "humble." FACE IT - if you believe his BS you are the one who is brainwashed because you make up your mind by what you just saw on the TV.
Wraith713: Have you been to his country or are you speaking based on what YOU have read in the news? I make my decisions based on video, articles, testimonies, & him interacting with his people.
Women in Iran atually support him. He is not absolutely right in his views. I won't say that! But I will say I did research before coming on here posting so I would not come across like a finger pointer. I actually have an opinion. It is not influenced wholly on this speech. It did cause me to research the man. And I can honestly say that after learning more about him he has been and is misquoted on many issues.
It is very good to see so many open minded people in here leaving comments instead of all the usual demonization and character assualts you get from the mainsteam media who dismiss him as a wacko terrorist who wants to destroy us. It pleases me to see that people are thinking for themselves. It gives me hope.
put the pieces together: the U.S. military industrial complex has been using false pretext to harm Iran for years. why? the same reason we are in Iraq and Afghanistan: oil and natural gas. they want to keep OPEC weak to keep oil prices down and prop up the world economy as oil and gas are depleted. supply and demand. it's that simple. google Coleen Rowley and Richard Wright.
agree.. It is not un-American to question 911 and the stolen election. It is not un American to not support a criminal regime like the Bush Administration that has taken America by coup. Columbia invited Ahmadinejad not the other way around. They thought it would look friendly for the US, like free speech..Well it backfired..Now people know the truth..>Corrupt officials are selling this war!!!
I am considering voting for Ron Paul, and I agree that PeaceGod's remarks are a disgrace to the Ron Paul Party. You may not like Bush, but that is no reason to make up lies and accuse him of killing 3,000 American lives in 9/11. Ron Paul has categorically rejected this absurd accusation. If you truly want to support Ron Paul, I would advise withdrawing the statement, PeaceGod.
I a german student and in germany we know, what people like him can do. If he says that they don´t have gays in iran than you know how much hate is waiting for gays and everyone, who is not exactly as they want him. Thank you for let him speak, cause now everyone knows, who we are dealing with.
oh you are talking you son of Natzi child of hilter you are talking about hate. Thats funny now 21st centry's Natzi will tell world about hate all wold knows what did you do in 1940's
Germans brought Hitler to power. Germans perpetrated Kristallnacht. Germans committed genocide against the Jews. So the Germans should reserve a section of their country that includes a seaport to become the independent state of Israel.
It is you who are seriously uneducated. The Germans were responsible for what they did to the Jews, not the Palestinians. Responsibility is with the Germans and it is they who must lose their their territory by way of compensation. The idea that the state of Israel should be established in Palestine and not Germany is just passing the results of one outrageous act to another innocent party.
I think it's better to look after your own country's current development. Your own government has already rang the bells for the new right movements coming to power in Germany. So, I think you better get your home clean of that bigotry and then share your thoughts on other people outside Germany, around the world. Beside, it's good to read the history of an area before making any judgment. Not every place is Germany, and not every person is Hitler.
I agree.. It is not un-American to question 911 and the stolen election. It is not un American to not support a criminal regime like the Bush Administration that has taken America by coup. Columbia invited Ahmadinejad not the other way around.

he was good, but he really screwed the answer about gays in iran. How does he know that gays don't exist in iran. is there any empirical research that was done to prove that statement. He should've answered that question wisely, and there is no shame in admitting the truth. it is human nature.
"Ramblings of a deranged person." ?? KAOSKTRL: Which part of his speech is ramblings, or deranged? Dammit, our own president (Bush) does not speak like this.. this guy is really smart!!!
Really smart! Is that all you have to say? Really smart? So are the neocon dipshits that have us running after our tail. Get over it. So what, yeah he's smart, ...and he's a liar. Look out for this guy.
all i can say is LOAD OF BS. He gets credit for not being stupid. He knows that if he tells retarded left wing students in universities what they want to hear, they'll melt like butter and support his causes.
The Supreme Leader of Iran is much like the Queen of England. Ahmadinejad became the 6th President of Iran on August 6, 2005, after winning 62% of the vote in the run-off poll, nearly twice that of ex-President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Ahmadinejad's current term will end in August 2009, but he will be eligible to run for one more term in office in 2009 presidential elections. He received the presidential authorization from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei on August 3, 2005.
I swear I tried but damn secret service was everywhere. What gives? LMAO (at this idiot & his twin brother the president of culumbia U) Liberals & Pseudo-intellectual thinking they are going to grill him with questions. Ridiculus!!! Just shoot PLEASE Thank you.
