    Since we house the UN here we are required to grant diplomatic entrance and immunity to any world leader who is attending a UN function.
    That's sound just like the US to continue to play by rules, even though Iran wasn't at the table, in Geneva or Vienna, and doesn't abide by the same set of rules today.

    It's interesting to me that Ahmadinejad's insistence that we allow him freedom of speech while he's here, but doesn't extend the same freedom at home. Iran, as I've heard, is Muslim state. Period. Anyone attempting to introduce even a simple discussion of other religious ideas, is arrested, or worse.

    The Olympic Games are moved from country to country for the benefit of all... So, why not rotate the UN headquarters to Tehran, or Damascus, periodically?

    Maybe they just like the safety and luxuries they enjoy while in the US...
