N.Y. nixes Ground Zero visit by Iran's leader

Ahmadinejad is absolutely nuts. Not only do I think he should not be allowed in the United States, I think he should be arrested if he sets foot on American soil. This man wants to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth" and "annihilate the United States." Why would George Bush even consider allowing him into this country? If the United Nations doesn't like it maybe they should move their headquarters to Tehran.

NEW YORK — A request by aides to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the controversial leader be allowed to visit Ground Zero next week when he attends the United Nations' General Assembly meeting was rejected, a police spokesman said Wednesday.

Ahmadinejad is one of hundreds of world leaders who will visit the city next week for the annual U.N. meeting. His request to visit the site where more than 2,700 people were killed when the World Trade Center was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, enraged politicians and officials who consider Iran a potential nuclear threat that harbors terrorists.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, New York City's mayor during 9/11, denounced the Iranian's request, as did Republican rival Mitt Romney and Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton. Calls and e-mails to the Iranian mission to the United Nations were not answered.
