President of Iran to visit Ground Zero...your thoughts??

[Lady's Human]

Being that Iran is actually run by the mullahs, the President is nothing more than a figurehead. It matters not what he sees during his propoganda tour.

The decision was made by local, not national government. I would have wanted to be in charge of security for his visit, and apparently the NYPD didn't want to, either.

I also heard that the place he wanted to visit is not open to the public now anyway, and I get the distinct impression his even expressing a wish to visit it was done for the ensuing hullabaloo it would cause - and which the media and the American public has played right into, and was not genuine in the first place.

Since neither Iran nor Iraq had anything to do with 9/11, I don't see any problem with him visiting the site. Now if it was the ruler of Saudi Arabi, where the majority of the hi-jackers were from - that would be another matter.
