Yes, courtesy of the United Nations, Iran’s nuclear-bomb-building, holocaust-denying, hostage-outfitting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is planning yet another trip to New York, later this month, to attend yet another UN General Assembly opening which kicks off next week. Ahmedinejad plans to arrive on Sept. 23 for a two-day-visit, according to Iran’s Fars news agency, before heading south to drop in on his sulphur-sniffing chum now arranging to be president-for-life of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
This will be the third time in three years that Ahmedinejad has come to Manhattan to ascend the UN stage, a privilege that the UN appears unwilling to withdraw no matter how many terrorists Iran sponsors, how many nascent nearby democracies it subverts, or how many UN resolutions, treaties, and basic human decencies the Iranian regime treats like doormats.
And, speaking of floor coverings, in the runup to Ahmedinejad’s imminent visit, Iran’s new ambassador to the UN, Mohammad Khazaee, has been paving the way — so to speak — for his arrival. Above is a photo currently posted prominently on the Iranian Mission web site, showing Khazaee presenting Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Sept. 12 with a carpet … the better to walk all over him?
(The photo caption on the Iranian Mission site reads: H.E. Ambassador Khazaee, Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran presents to H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon the portray-rug of the Secretary General which has been weaven in Iran, 12 September 2007, New York).
