Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in responses to questions from Columbia University president Lee Bollinger yesterday, told us that he does not have a clue on how to be a world leader.
He told us that he is in denial. He told us he is a conspiracy theorist. He told us he is a history revisionist.
He told us that he would rather rely on subterfuge than to be forthright in defending his view points.
He told us that he must be a puppet president because there is no way a person with his obvious lack of knowledge of the world can get elected president of any nation without someone pulling some strings behind the scenes. Whoops, wrong! Americans are suffering through that type of presidency right now, so scratch that argument.
He told us that his style of governing is to cover up any problems with propaganda.
He denies there are gays in his country. Can you imagine? He must think he has eradicated them all so he is convinced that statement is factual.
He denies who was behind the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, but so does Bush. Bush thinks Saddam Hussein had a hand in it.
He denies the Holocaust ever happened. What is the reason why he does not believe the Holocaust took place? How would he benefit if the Holocaust never happened? Is he against anything that backs Israel? Is he for anything that backs Nazi Germany? Can the reason really be this simplistic?
"If the Holocaust is a reality of our time, a history that occurred, why is there not sufficient research that can approach the topic from different perspectives?" he asked. What kind of research would he believe? Witnesses and survivors are the only ‘research’ that can be undisputed. If he wants his people to research this horrible chapter of world history given his propensity to reshape facts to meet his agenda the world would never know what really happened. And what other ‘perspective’ is there? These people were victims of orchestrated genocide by a raving, maniacal, sociopath. The only ‘perspective’ that counts is that the rest of the world witnessed it. Where was he?
He claims "Women in Iran enjoy the highest levels of freedom." The ‘highest levels of freedom’ in his country do not come close to America’s standard of freedom. Does he think we can’t see through this?
He sounds like a travel agent ‘Come visit our perfect utopia, talk with our people, freely. Enjoy our perfect society, ignore the secret police following you everywhere.’
He has made statements in the past suggesting Israel be politically "wiped off the map," though he insists that can be accomplished without violence. He suggested that their status should be determined by a free election. Wow. I am stunned. How about the rest of the world hold an election to determine if Iran should exist?
He also told us that Iran has a very long way to go if they ever want to be accepted as equals of the United States of America.
