The mothers of the three detained US hikers have made a personal plea directly to Iranian President Ahmadinejad to bring their children with him when he comes to the United Nations in New York this month. You can see the ABC News video here.
The Iranian leader has responded… Apparently these young hikers straying into some border hinterland in the Kurdish mountains is akin to Iranian diplomats being detained doing business in the war zone of Iraq. They therefore should be released too. And so goes the quid pro quo.
Last February, the UK refused a Dutch MP entry into their country because they objected to his far-right views.
Could we establish a precedent now? Or refuse to be present when he speaks at the UN? Or can we make him attend a Rosh Hashanah celebration attended by holocaust survivors??
Ahmadinejad deals nefariously with the lives of three young people. He once again, makes demagogic statements denying the reality of the holocaust and claiming Israel has no future.
Please Mr. Ahmadenijad….
