TEHRAN (AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday proposed holding a public debate with his US counterpart George W. Bush at the United Nations this month and a "global referendum" to decide who was right.

Ahmadinejad confirmed in an interview with Iranian television he would be visiting Iran's arch enemy the United States for the third time to take part in the General Assembly next week.
"I proposed it last year. I will go to New York. Let's sit down and talk. But not behind closed doors.
"I propose discussing international questions at the UN General Assembly in order to solve them," he added.
"Our aim is to solve global problems," he continued. "He (Bush) gives his position and I give mine. The representatives of 200 countries meet there and they can judge," he said.
Ahmadinejad offered Bush a public debate before he travelled to the United Nations last year, a proposal that was spurned by the White House
Lets get this straight

Can't debate a terrorist Nope that would be wrong give the man credibility and so forth

But he can come to the US of A and meet with 200 heads of State ?

Yep that is ok this man the horrible terrorist is allowed to visit and take part in an international meeting

But Bush is just going to duck around corners and not engadge someone who apparently is good enough to let in and has enough credibility according to the US to take part in this meeting

But he does't have enough to debate George ?

Why the contridiction ?
G-Man

I'd either claim he was a terrorist and not let him in

Or I'd recognize him as a world leader I disagreed with and trounce him in a debate and leave no doubt as to who was right and who was wrong

But I would not allow the contridiction that has taken place

Make up your mind and act accordingly for G-d sakes
Stev

When you say "narcissistc psychotic"

Which one are you refering to ?

If Bush talks to him, it may become apparent to the American public that Ahmadinejad doesn't actually have horns and a tail.

I agree that he isn't a good guy, but he's not evil personified either, and BushCo has made its living painting the world as black or white -- any shade of gray undermines his philosophy.

Anyway, avoiding conflict with Iran is not what Bush and friends want.

So the plan is to let the terrorist in for a meeting with 200 heads of State but

Then hide from him because we wouldn't want to let hin beat Bush in an open debate ?

Make up your mind - If he is a terrorist why is he going to be let into the US to have a meeting ?

If he is good enough to let in and Bush won't debate and you don't see and inherent contridiction to this

Well wow lady wow

Bush has a serious superiority complex and has cut off his nose to spite his face on many occasions where he could have brokered peace with many different countries when he refused to sit down and talk with them. I think he knows how dumb he sounds when speaking and also doesn't want to enter into a battle of wits unarmed.
