Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seeks US visa ahead of nuclear meet

[brown77]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has applied for a visa to visit the United States next week, the US says.
The application is apparently motivated by his wish to be at the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference starting on Monday.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be among more than 30 foreign ministers attending the opening day of discussions at the United Nations.
The US says Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, but Tehran denies this.
The US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said: "My understanding is that as of today he (Mr Ahmadinejad) has filed an application for a visa."
Tehran says its nuclear energy programme is for peaceful, civilian purposes.
But the US and five other powers - Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany - are discussing proposed new UN sanctions against Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a key step on the road to creating nuclear weapons.

Sure why not. And perhaps a side trip to Berkely. I'm sure they'd welcome him with open arms.

The UN needs to go away. But so does Berkley.

An old team mate did an ROTC assignment there. He was a MUCH better man than I am. I'd rather go to Canada than Berkley! (Did that reasoning just put a tear into the universal space-time continuum? - I'd better quit listening to Coast-to-Coast AM on the way to work)

Bottom line - if we would have capped the midget back in 1980, this might not be the problem it is today. Now, we just have to put up with him until he picks a fight with us.

DISCLAIMER: This is not to justify violence against any foreign head of state with with the US is not at war. (For the benefit of those who think we're all sitting here waiting for the opportunity to kill someone)
