Charlie Rose - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

I was on vacation last week in France when the Iranian government said yes to a request for an interview with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I flew to Tehran and talked to the President in the garden outside his presidential office. We talked about Georgia, Afghanistan, the U.S. presidential election, the Iranian economy and his own upcoming election and. Here is a part of that conversation:

@gfdgerhehrhe By the way, I'd like to add, that amongst the killed where over 100.000 homosexuals, deemed just like homosexuals as sub humans. I wonder what his and your opinion is about that, considering in Iran you hang from the back of a truck 13 year old boys, accusing them of homosexuality. You cannot justify everything as "our culture and our religion", that's precisely what the Nazi's pretended aswel. Faith is a private matter, not to be imposed on state, citizens and politics!

@gfdgerhehrhe Forgive me, but by he persistently speaks about "IF" it happened, check out U-tube. And as for women's votes, please refer to some research, women obtained the vote in the US in 1920, in the Netherlands in 1919, in Iran in 1963.

Moreover, even if Iranian women have the vote, it is useful to be able to vote for a system where the opposition isn't crushed and where the electorate's choice isn't vetoed by an overseeing religious self proclaimed representative of God on earth.

@neus001 He never denied the holocoast, ever. He said in (I think) September 2010 that he doesn't and never has denied the holocoast but that Israel uses it as a excuse to wage war in the region. He doesn't wan't to destroy Israel, even if he did (which he doesn't), Israel wants to destroy Palestine, so 2-shay. Also Iranians vote for their leaders, infact women were allowed to vote in Iran long befor women were allowed to vote in America. Peace.

this is the best president in the world

@Markov11989 He denies about the extermination of millions of jews, homosexuals, and others. He wants to terminate Israel, he lies to and manipulates his own people for his own fanatic ideals and benefit.

Have you heard his last speech at the UN?

The man is totally crazy. I met an iranian a month ago who was here for the 1st time. He had tears in his eyes after seeing how people are allowed to be themselves and to express their opinion here. To live free and have your vote respected !!!

@neus001 Why would you say such a thing?
