Iranophobia hits Ground Zero

---

And as for the US media, in their seemingly stiff competition on who will win the Iran-bashing trophy, New York's Daily News was the winner, with its full-front-page photo of Ahmadinejad circled in red with the accompanying write-up that he should "go to hell" for daring to request a visit to the former site of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York known as Ground Zero. <1> Another New York daily, Newsday, has been equally venomous, referring to Ahmadinejad as a "madman".

Such vicious, unbounded personal attacks on Iran's president recall earlier manifestations of US jingoism perpetrated against, among others, Cuba's Fidel Castro, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and, during the Cold War, various Soviet and Eastern European leaders.

With such a long and rather unsavory tradition, the US media have once again fallen victim to an orchestration of "enemy image" that aims to vilify, intimidate, deface and demonize a Middle Eastern leader who, ironically, has been unusually forthcoming in his expressions of warm feelings toward the American people (though not the US government and its policies).

Never mind that Ahmadinejad has released a few Iranian-Americans who were suspected of instigating a "velvet revolution", or that he has broken the ice of diplomatic non-dialogue with the US by consenting to direct meetings between Iranian and US ambassadors in Iraq, or that he has made the most far-reaching Iranian cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to date.

Its bad enough that our news is censored but now our government makes upwho it wants as enemies and wants to keep them out of the country so we cant hear them. The government wants everything censored so we see no reality.

What kind of phony horseshit is that about? Like he really cares for those Americans who lost their lives on 9-11? Rigggghhhhhht. Fuck him.

"Ahmadinejad: Israel, US will vanish

Ahmadinejad says Israel, US, Britain will vanish – 'this is a divine promise;' Iran demands UN Security Council condemn Israel's nuclear development, place Israel's facilities under inspection

News agencies Published: 12.20.06, 09:35 / Israel News

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched another attack of Israel and it's allies the United States and Britain in a speech Wednesday morning.

The Iranian news agency reported that, during his speech in western Iran, the Iranian president said that the US, Britain and Israel are doomed to disappear.

"The aggressive forces will vanish, while the Iranian people will survive – since all who chose God will survive and those who distance themselves from God vanish like Pharaoh," said Ahmadinejad in his speech.

unfeeling, just truly evil.. not even human.. just gets up in the morning and considers how he's going to destroy the world...
I bet he eats baby's too.. oh and why does he want to go to Ground Zero? why to sneak nukes into the US.

<adds unneeded sarcasm emote>

You are very judgmental for a person with a tyrant for a president, a tyrant responsible for the deaths of well over a million Iraqi's.

and is there some reason its so wrong to demand inspections of Israels Nukes or their death trap of a nuclear plant? or should they go on forever with divine rights that no other country on earth has?

He's a politician.

Why should I give a shit about his motives?
Damn if I know.

Frankly, Ahmanidjit sound's a lot like Bush, with a few words transposed. You seem to think anyone that thinks he should be allowed to go to the WTC must love him. That is wrong. We do not. He is an asshole politician.

But if he wants to show some respect at the WTC site, that lessens the chance of war with Iran, and I consider that to be one heck of a good thing.

Condemning things seems to be their main purpose of late. Lord knows the laws they pass suck.
