Denouncing Ahmadinejad's U.N. Visit

Petition Online:

To: Honorable President George W. Bush

Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Khamenei selected President of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s forthcoming trip to New York to attend the United Nations Meeting has raised many eyebrows inside and outside Iran.

The thought of a man who was a major part of the 1979 U.S. embassy take over and hostage taking in Iran, who suddenly has become the President of an " axis’ of evil" regime, coming to the country whose diplomats he helped take hostage and to the city of New York where thousands of innocent people were brutally killed on September 11, 2001, at the hands of terrorist fundamentalists like him is indeed insulting to say the least.

This would be anther case of a comedy of errors. A hostage taker at the U.N General Assembly podium, what a message that one is going to send to the world brotherhood of terrorists.

Is a criminal hostage taker qualified to be given the privilege of diplomatic immunities? If he is granted a visa we denounce his visit and wish to announce to the world that this person in no way represents the of people of Iran who are peace loving people, and who have been hostages at the hands of this terrorist regime for the past 26 years. We also reserve the right of holding a peaceful demonstration denouncing Mr. Ahmadinejad’s presence at the session.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
