Ahmadinejad, Coming Soon to a UN Stage Near You…Again
Here we go again. With all the charm that has marked his previous three visits to the annual opening of the UN General Assembly in New York, Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad picked the historically freighted date of Sept. 11 to confirm that yes, indeed, he’s coming b-a-a-a-a-c-k … to take the UN stage on Sept. 23.
There are plans for a “Wall of Shame” demonstration near the UN in Manhattan, with protestors calling for the Iranian regime to be held to account for its repression and atrocities. But that wall will end when Ahmadinejad steps inside the UN gates, to enter the sacrosanct UN-world, in which accountability is a concept reserved almost exclusively for the likes of the UN’s chief sugar-daddy, the United States. For Ahmadinejad, representing a terrorist-backing regime that is in violation by now of three UN Security Council resolutions meant to stop Iran’s nuclear bomb program, the UN will provide diplomatic entry to Manhattan, and a world stage with a golden backdrop in the grand council of nations.
This in turn will provide the usual springboard for Ahmadinejad to wine and dine select members of the media, give interviews, swagger around town and gloat over the “Death to Israel! Death to America!” vision to which Tehran’s mullocracy dedicates so many of its resources (never mind the economic trainwreck back home in Iran). Will Ahmadinejad make another attempt to visit the site of the World Trade Center? Will he make one of his trademark calls for the annihilation of Israel? Will he thrill to intimations of the apocalypse while addressing the eminences at Turtle Bay?
We need not wait long to find out. The Ahma-mushroom-cloud road show returns soon. And with it, the question – How, exactly, does it serve America’s interests to bankroll and host the UN (now enjoying a $2 billion headquarters renovation) in the heart of New York?
Ms Rosett, you know what, I’m sort of in favor of this years visit from our old buddy Ahmadinejad. It’s a chance for Obama to prove himself, show us what a nice friendly chat can do for foreign relations with countries that hate us.
Barry and Mahmoud can meet up at Harvard, grab the bag lunch and a Starbucks at the Cronkite Dining Hall, draft up a quick peace agreement, just between the boys, and probably wrap up no later than 4.00pm, in time for the Letterman show.
It will be known in history as the Persia/Chicago Pact with terms as follows:
a) The US will announce an immediate open borders deal with Iran which will apply to become the 58th or 59th state; the Great State of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – Governor.
b) The Great State of Iran will be the first state to renounce the 2nd amendment by reverting back to scimitars only.
c) The Great State of Iran will turn all its itty bitty nuclear weapons over to a committee of community organizers, specially constituted in Chicago to study the effects of the Weather on federal buildings.
Upon signing, Mahmoud will receive a new car from Oprah, and Barry, yes and Barry, after 47 years in the wilderness, will finally have an honest achievement under his belt. Let the light shine down.
Up to a point, I agree with JI.
Barry and Ahmadinejad can consult on what to do with American troops in Iraq.
They seem to have similar ideas, already. Barry wants to leave them there to die; and Ahmadinejad is happy to help.
