Ahmadinejad's Speech at the UN
by Simon Zohhadi on Thursday, 22 September 2011 at 19:49 ·
A disappointing speech by Ahmadinejad which will allow his detractors to portray him as an extremist and unbalanced. Questioning the holocaust serves no useful purpose as the world has long since accepted that the holocaust was very real and cannot be denied in any way by a rational mind. The holocaust happened, end of debate. For this reason, nobody will listen to his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is a shame because the Palestinians are worthy of support. Furthermore, the 9/11 day of terrorism was not a "mystery", it happened exactly as reported at the time and we could all see with our own eyes what happened. These serious lapses in judgement will mean that other more reasonable parts of his speech will not be listened to. He rightly criticised the USA for getting involved in too many wars. It is time for Ahmadinejad to abandon his views on the holocaust and silly conspiracy theories otherwise he will be further marginalised by the international community and only increase dissent inside Iran. Iran requires strong and intelligent leadership; Ahmadinejad needs to reflect on the way he is currently governing the country.
