How come he gets to "DECIDE" where he is going in OUR COUNTRY. I would arrest him immediately and apply some torture and then maybe he would "DECIDE" to go back under the ROCK HE CRAWLED OUT FROM UNDER. WHAT A DISGRACE to those who died.

No!

If the Iranian president has been denied access to the WTC area and he chose to visit the sight on his own why should a Secret Service detail accompany him. If one of our leaders took avisit to Iran and decided they would visit their nuclear facility would they provide them with a secutity detail? I think not, so why should we.

Oh boy. I'm sure ol' Ahmadinejad will whip out the fake tears and false solemnity for some high quality pix. Then, he'll use those pictures in Iranian propaganda where he shows the people how caring he is, despite the US's continued reticence toward him/Iran. Maybe a piano will fall on him!

Hey, maybe Sean Penn can escort him around town?

Put this midget on the terrorist no-fly list and tell him to stay home.

We can let the Saudi Royal Family visit ground zero (in case you've forgotten, 18 of the 20 suicide bombers were Saudis), but we won't let Iranians visit (last I heard, there were NO Iranians among the 9/11 bombers).

This swine helped AlQueada every way he could think of and as I recall there was dancing in the streets of Iran the day this happened! This fool who wants to wipe Israel off the map and us if he could do it. Why can HE decide where he goes in our country?? This is ludicrous pandering to a mad man who has no right to be close to such sacred ground knowing he would have flown those planes into the towers if he had been able to do it!!! I am appalled over this, I really am!!!

Why not let him go? Let him and his own protection rent some cars and go visit? Let me know first though, Ill get on a plane from Chicago and fly to New York to give him the tour myself. Give him what he wants without the protection of any Americans, we'll see how far he gets with the people of New York.

He should be allowed to visit any area there, if safe for a non-worker to go to. To not welcome his interest and sympathy is churlish.

What an outrage. This is more evidence that the United States of America is suffering a national schizophrenia. God save us from ourselves.

he is an idoit!

I don't understand this at all. The State Department has said it refused his request to visit Ground Zero, the NYPD and the Mayor and US Senator from New York Hillary Clinton has opposed his visti (honest!) so how does he rate secret service protection to go where the local authorities AND the State Department have said he can't go? And if he does go there, doesn't that mean he's lost his immunity??!

If the city officials do not welcome the visit and the Port Authority does not welcome the visit - why would you still visit? He's bringing a wreath. Is the wreath for the 3,000 American dead or for the 19 suicide bombing nutcases? I think we all know the answer. Bush is really proving himself to be an impotent creep.

God help those agents...because the only help they'll have to force him thru the crowd of (what I expect) thousands who will be there to prevent him from getting in will just be his guards.

This will not be pretty and will most likely end badly.

I pray this IDIOT will change his mind before he decided to walk into the pit.

I LOVE New York...

President Reagan denied a visa to Arafat in 1988. I see no reason why we should not deny a visa to Ahmadinejad. If he needs to address the UN, he can do so via satellite hook-up.

Havoc - The Saudi government are a bunch of creeps, but your pal Ahmadinejad brags about kidnapping Americans, killing Jews and wiping Israel off the map every time he's in front of a microphone! He's earned everyone's enmity - but for you it's 'if we let in Saudi's we got to let in the Iranian president.'

You're a clown.

Absolutely he should be allowed to visit. The city, however, should issue a warning stating that his safety on the ground, from buildings, and rooftops will not guaranteed.

The man's a lunatic. This "religion of peace" is a farce. They worship a false profit. The koran is nothing more than a murder manual.
Bush is a whimp, as well as all the other baough and sold policticians.

This just shows how out of touch the government is with the will of the people. They should either forbid him to go, or make it clear that he goes at his own risk.
