This is our tradition required by our culture, and I know that American people have that culture as well."</i> That said, i don't recall the police/fbi breaking up any student-inspired hostage-taking plot during his visit to NYC.

I mean, I don't speak -- I presume it's Farsi? open to correction here -- but I kind of had the sense that he was speaking in complete sentences that, while detached from reality, were at least coherently offensive. Is Iran's children learning? His public speaking skills remind me of Bush.

I don't think he is quite the threat the White House wants for him to be; I think they are desperately in search of a new enemy we can all hate together in order to rally some sort of support, since the one enemy we do all actually hate (bin Laden) seems beyond our grasp, for some reason. That said, I also don't think we should underestimate Mr. Ah....whatever. He'll come here and say perfectly pragmatic things (well...except for this, apparently) in front of the western media, and then go home and chant "Death to Israel!"
