Full Transcript: President Ahmadinejad Delivers Remarks to the National Press Club: When we take a look around us, we are not happy with what we see.

It is a shame that an academic can speak like that to his guest . This treatment was unacceptable, in terms of an educated and civilized society.

Read my opinions on the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visit to Columbia.
Is Ahmadinejad a dictator or is he being vilified as one.

Is Bollinger on The White House payroll or what? This is a crummy way to treat a head of state. Speaking of “democracy” in Iran I think they might have that today if it weren’t for Kermit Roosevelt.
