Ahmadinejad steals the show in New York


The Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited by an American university to give a speech, on Tuesday. The speech dominated the opening of the meeting and took worldwide attention. Ahmadinejad talked about "prospects for a brighter and more hopeful future, the appearance of the sublime and beauty, compassion and generosity, justice and blossoming of all the God-given human talents, the prominence of faith in God and realization of the promise of God". The President of Iran has also talked about the nuclear case. The university president, Lee Bollinger, had introduced Ahmadinejad as a dictator who seemed to be uneducated. Many people in the US think that de President Ahmadinajad was treated unfriendly and unfairly by the University who invited the President.

My opinion
I think that the University has treated the President unfairly. Inviting a President and insulting him seems to me unfairly. The students were yelling, boe, boe, boe, as a reaction to the speech of the president. The University students’ behaviour was very bad. I also think that if Achmedinagad knew about this behaviour of the students and of the university President, he would not address the speech. The anti Iranian attitude of the US, has also denied the President to visit ground zero. Insulting the president Achmedinajad will not help to bring peace between the countries.

You are right otman, and that means no respect for this prsesedent , and so for the iran as a country. The university must respect hem as presedent, or better did not invite hem for a speech. So the behaviour of the students of the university must changed from now, otherwise no president more will visite this university.
