Re: Ahmadinejad Ground Zero request
[ QUOTE ]
sounds like a typical american politician to me, changing with the wind to assure he keeps his job. Isnt it odd that his rhetoric is never as venomous when he speaks to the world body at the UN? Even his open letter to the US a few months ago was rather logical, he tried to say he has no quarrel with the people of the US. Again i think Ahmadinejad is scum of the earth but that doesnt mean he cannot be reasoned with; all men have their breaking points.

TT,
Assume this is all true (I think you're probably 50%-75% right, FWIW.) Why would the desirability of having a dialogue with this man coincide with a desire to have him visit Ground Zero in his official capacity?
We can do all of those things without simultaneously letting a guy who thinks the Holocaust is a hoax and quite probably believes a bunch of Jews didn't show up for work on 9/11 have his official photo op next to a particularly sacred-ish hole in the ground.
