"Ahmadinejad wanted to lay wreath for hijackers, not victims"
D'OH!

At first I didn't see a problem with him going there, but my friend's theory makes a lot more sense, considering Ahmadinejad's feelings about the U.S.

1. There were Iranians killed on 9-11, THAL.
You're friend sounds like an islamophobic bigot to me.

6. Well I know she's not a bigot, she said it as an observation
of how fundamentalists celebrate and honor martyrs. :shrug:

9. She suggests that Ahmadinejad appreciated 9-11...
because he's a fundamentalist muslim.

Sounds like a text book case of bigotry to me.

5. Your friend's theory is more about ignorant, racist BS, than making sense
As stated above, THERE WERE IRANIAN VICTIMS. And even a bad leader can have feelings about others.

10. Why?
There were more Iranians killed as result of this than participated in it (if there was one Iranian who was killed, there still would be more dead than participated).

Your friend needs to smarten up.

11. OW!!!!
My brain suddenly hurts. I'm sure it was because
Iranians were killed in the towers. Why on earth
would he lay a wreath for Saudi Sunni martyrs when
he is Persian Shia?

12. Because he loves Sunni's so much?
I thought that was Bush's job.

13. Only in America...
where else do you see people having a bigger problem with someone laying a wreath than with dropping a nuke. Want to bet most people who are against the wreath laying are for dropping bombs on Iran?

14. would the victims approve
of ANYONE using the tragedy as a political tool to push unrelated agendas? That is my reason for not approving of Mr. A going to the site. But anyone in the Whitehouse disapproving is the pot calling the kettle black. I guess only Americans can use 911 for their own selfish lust for power.

16. Well, I'm just sharing an opinion of a friend of mine in New York
I never thought that it was his intention to honor the hijackers, but it is a possibility. We can't read his mind.

17. Gee, maybe he'll fly a plane into a building on the way back.
But not before stealing our gold, molesting our kids, crossing our borders illegally, and having his way with our white wimmin.

You just never know with those people.

25. the cleric-led regime has vilified America as the "Great Satan."
:shrug:

I mean guys, it's not that far fetched. We're talking about a guy who hates America and frequently expresses a desire to see it destroyed. That takes nothing away necessarily from Iranian victims, it would just change the way he viewed them (victims vs. martyrs).

I really don't care either way.
