and if you believe this guy, you're not as bright as he is.

I feel that the last 50-60 years have scewed the relations between Muslims and Jews. There is generally no antagonism between the two peoples and, in private, most Muslims will tell you that they admire Jews' commitment to their faith. It is unfortunate that we live in an era when these peoples find themselves as foes but one can hope for a better future. This statement, even by a nut like this guy, is a hallmark moment because no one can imagine the leader of Iran saying something like this.

And the Joke is on the Entire country Named Israel. This Monster from Iran is no joke he is developing Nuclear warfare while laughing on the entire world.

...but if the Zionists are right that he is right. The Zionists do not recognize that Israel is a Jewish country because it was given to us by God but rather because the UN so mandated. If Israel is a product of the UN then what right did the UN have to displace the people who were living there? But in fact the Zionists are wrong and the Jews belong in Israel because it was given to the Jews by Its creator. In which case, Mahmoud is also wrong that Israel has no right to exist. Why can't we Jews recognize this simple fact?

The onlyway out of this Iranian impass is for Israel to sincerely start peace negotiation with Pals and Arabs in full honosty . Once peace prevails no one will need nuks except for peacefull purposes.Ahmadinejad is correct stating that there isn't nor was a peace process,the US and Israeli were decieving the whole world by claiming engagment in a so called,"peace process". It was an insult to human intillegance,this mockery has to stop if peace is is to be achieved. Ditto,Ahmadinejad is correct when stating that he is not an anti semite, because if he is ,then he will be commintting a grave mistake since Arabs are samite too.So you are not the only semite,its no longer working .

NOT A WORD UTTERED FROM HIS MOUTH IS TRUTH.

dont his hands pain him, i mean him and his pet chavez

HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO MENTION LEBANON OR GAZA ARABS 1. HEZBOLLA-HAMAS ARE IRANIAN PROXIES 2. IRAN FOUGHT AGAINST THE LEBANESE PEOPLE. 3. IRAN DID NOT CARE FOR ARAB LIVES 4. IRAN USED LEBANON & GAZA ARABS AS A DISTRACTION FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM 5. IRAN USED LEBANON & GAZA TO BUY TIME FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM 6. IRAN, NOT ISRAEL, IS BRINGING NUCLEAR WAR TO THE MIDDLE EAST PEOPLE BY THREATENING ISRAEL / US 7. IRAN IS #1 SPONSOR OF TERRORISM - TERRORISM BRINGS WAR TO MIDDLE EAST 8. IRAN'S NUCLEAR THREATS AND AGRESSIONS THREATENS ALL ARAB PEOPLES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF LIVES LOST AND DAMAGES AS LEBANON & GAZA - ONLY INFINITELY WORST --IN 60 YEARS AND THROUGH MANY WARS, ISRAEL NEVER USED NUKES --NO NUCLEAR COUNRTY: US, ISRAEL, INDIA, PAKISTAN, RUSSIA, CHINA, BRITIAN, FRANCE, ETC. HAS NEVER THREATENED TO USE NUKES ON ANY COUNTRY OR PEOPLE --IRAN DOESN'T HAVE NUKES BUT HAS ALREADY PROMISED TO USE THEM - WHICH IS WHY ITS A PROBLEM FOR THE WORLD - ESPECIALLY ARABS BECAUSE NUCLEAR RETALIATION IS SURE UPON THE MIDDLE EAST ARAB PEOPLE, IRANIANS ARE NOT ARABS, THEY SHOWED IN LEBANON & GAZA THEY COULD CARE LESS FOR ARABS - LEBANON AND GAZA ARABS WERE LOST IN THE WAR IRAN STARTED WITH ISRAEL - IRANIANS DIDN'T DIE LIKE ARABS - THEIR COUNTRY IS STILL INTACT - PAY ATTENTION - HATRED BLINDS PEOPLE - YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BLIND OR LED BY THE BLIND GOD BLESS ALL - WORLD WAR HAS COME, NOT ONLY TO "ISRAEL" BUT TO THE MIDDLE EAST & AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE ...

I have to admit, I did not like the guy first. As I started to listening him, I started to like, understand and respect him more. I think this man is more credible and makes more sense than Bush. He knows what he is talking about. He is more populist and much smarter than Bush can ever be... Here read for yourself. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/21/AR2006092100829.html

That's why he makes no secret of his wish to destroy Israel. Yep, the love is just oozing out of this man.

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said during a press conference in New York on Thursday 'We love everyone in the world - Jews, Christians, Muslims, non-Muslims, non-Jews, non-Christians.'" : Some I love as friends and colleagues. Others I love with salt and pepper. I'm not an anti-Semite. I love the Semites that are Arab. And I do not understand what more we can do to show the world our nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. We have TOLD the U.N. inspectors what is going on behind locked doors. What more can we do? It does not make sense, this world's preoccupation with beliefs that we would want nuclear material to blow Israel off the face of the map. Of course, I just said that I would gladly sacrifice half of my own country to get rid of Israel; but you must understand there is half of my own country that I do not like. There are still those here who are too rational. These I would gladly sacrifice. But why should this mean we want to build nuclear weapons. The world has too much preoccupation with nuclear weapons. We also know that more unbiased research should be done on the holocaust. Just because Germans admit to this supposed attrocity does not mean it happened. We know Germans suffer from a false-guilt complex that compells them to admit to atrocities they never committed. Once we have eliminated all the rational people, then the world will understand this.

While our religion ought to be of no concern to you, I agree that we should hope a better future. But his statement is only a hallmark of how much BS he can spew.

Ahmadinejad is a well spoken person, smart, and always reason, If he debates Bush, the american president wouldn't even last for 2 minutes.

Iran has right ro develop nuclear program. West has already, why they shouldnt?

He's in NYC

After watching the press interview with the president of Iran, I have only one conclusion. Every single question put to him remains unanswered except one. He seems adamant that the removal of Israel is the only solution to gaining peace in the region. Obviously an anti-zionist, obviously an adept "politician". I wonder if someone who evades honest questions about major issues can be trusted. The word used most repeatedly was "justice". I wonder is the word is used here as a verb or a noun.

The Iranian leader added: “There were those who had accused me of being a murderer and anti-Semitic, but I’m not an anti-Semite.” So... I guess he's just a murderer? 'nuff said

i agree with your sentiment. well written. these are indeed strange times we live in. but unless and until the leader of iran acknowledges his hateful rhetoric for EXACTLY what it is, he will be seen and rightly so, as completely and unequivocally anti-semitic to me and everyone else.

the palestinians rejection of sharing of palestine into arab and jewish states in 1937 definetly contributed to the holocaust. the islamic world supported this rejection . there is no question even the escape of womenand children to protection in palestine was violently rejected,

Because they represent a danger to the world. They have a mentally unstable leader who reminds all of us of Hitler in a way. He wants to take Israel off the map. Israel is a legitimate, soverign state who is a member of the UN. This man is a lunetic. This is the reason.

As a jew I agree with you completely. The problem is that someone in muslim world invented to hate jew and make them the scapegoat of all muslim problems. I am quite sure that muslims will benefit greatly from cooperation with jews (dead sea plants in Jordan are case in the point). Kiss you my man. Lets change the world

Ahmadinejad is simply the latest version of a Nazi-like ideology. This Islamofascist, implicated in the kidnapping of innocent Americans in Iran some 3 decades ago, now seeks to capture the hearts and souls of hundreds of millions of ignorant people--the same people who will believe that the Twin Towers fell due to a Zionist (read Jewish) conspiracy. Let this nut go nuclear and the world will be terrorized.

The Iranian rat is just trying to stall for enough time to make a bomb. Remember in the Quran, it is justifiable to lie to the infidel if it furthers the purpose of Islam (namely the conversion of all and the establishment of a worldwide caliphate). He will stop enrichment when he has enough weapons grade plutonium to make enough bombs to usher in the final times and his glorious 12th imam. He said as much during his speech at the UN. Read it ALL Carefully. He masks his hatred with peace platitudes.
