You're missing the whole point.
Having him come here and go to the WTC site is like having OJ Simpson being the keynote speaker at a fund raiser for a battered women's shelter.
Or does common sense completely escape you?

That guy is helping to supply the terrorists fighting our troops in Iraq with weapons! And he's suppose to be able to walk to the site of the worst terrorist strike against America and lay a wreath there? That would be the biggest slap in the face to our troops that could ever be done. It's good the Iranian president was denyed that request.

It would be wrong for the people of the US to believe that the Iranian president and our current and future administrations are in some sort of... behind the scene agreement, and that's what would be interpreted if this guy were given an open door to lay a wreath at our door.

He would be laying a wreath for the hijackers at the site, not the victims. And his visit is to the UN, not the US. So that means airport, to hotel, to UN building then back out. The US has no obligation give him any more leash than that.

First of all we aren't a Christian country we are a country base on freedom of religion. Second, the Iranian president is not a friend of America as a matter of fact he acts more like an enemy. He shouldn't even be allowed in the country.

In theory it is a Christian thing to do, though most in our country seem to enjoy the ring to "being christian," not living the life they proclaim they live. My point is, though most Americans would love to think of themselves as being the theoretical Christian, very few- if any, are. This is the democracy of hypocrisy, don't forget that.

The US is NOT a Christian country! And why should the Iranian President get a photo op?

First of all, the liberals have told us for decades that this is NOT a Christian nation.
Second, while we were founded on many Christian values, "turn the other cheek" is not one of them.
This guy is a terrorist, sponsors terrorism, insults America at every opportunity and even when it isn't even germain to his conversation. He led a group that attacked our sovereign territory in 1979, and has yet to even apologize.
Screw him. He shouldn't be given access to any part of this country, even to address the UN unless he can get there without entering US airspace. He should be arrested and sent directly to Riker's Island if he's on a plane that lands here.

The US is NOT a Christian country -- except in the sense that Christianity is statistically the religion that a majority of people choose to follow.
But by that standard, we are also a black-haired country, and a female country, and a non-college-educated country.
Which has nothing to do with the Iranian president. That's purely a matter of politics, because the US doesn't like him.

The US is a secular country - not Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Shinto, Wiccan, Pagan, or any other description linked definitionally with spiritualism or deistic faith.
Please withdraw your question, as it is predicated on what are probably your deliberately fallacious perceptions for a scurrilous purpose.
