I'm not sure who I hate more, Piers or Ahmadinejad lol.
 
Have noticed Ahamdinejad is a Soviet at heart.

He forgets that we dealt with the Stalinists all through the Cold War...

... and look what happened to their non-cooperative, obfuscating, evasionist society...

... obviously he has failed to learn from their mistake.

What a dolt.
:rolleyes:

The only reason a journalist (or conversely, a "pundit") would want to interview this guy (or any other zealot with power) is for the event to be a feather in their political cap, a resume enhancer. Everyone knows he's lying about pretty much everything.

It's like trying to have an honest conversation with an American partisan ideologue. You know they're just playing games, and it can be a little insulting to the intelligence. Not worth much effort.

Piers Morgan is actually a brilliant interviewer IMO...very intelligent and insightful.

On Wednesday evening, Piers Morgan sat down with "New York Times" columnist Nicholas Kristof who gave his feedback on Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's address to the U.N. General Assembly. "I think that he has been under pressure at home, frankly, for this wackiness. A lot of Iranians are just embarrassed," surmised Kristof regarding Ahmadinejad's unusually "more reasonable" speech as described by Morgan.

"And he's almost out of time," continued Kristof. "He'll be out of office in a year from now. He's also - he's losing power within the country. So I think he's a declining force.

Ahmadinejad's speech took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year. The Israeli delegation was not present while the Iranian leader spoke.

The U.S. delegation also was not present. A spokeswoman for the U.S. mission said it decided not to attend the speech because Ahmadinejad was using his trip to "spout paranoid theories and repulsive slurs against Israel."

In something of a swan song, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used his eighth — and likely final — appearance before the U.N. General Assembly to elaborate on his vision of a new world order and criticize what he calls the world's "hegemonic" and "expansionist" powers.

In general, the Iranian leader took a less confrontational tone than in previous years.

Unlike last year, for example, when he characterized the Sept. 11 attacks as "mysterious" and a "pretext [for the U.S.] to attack Afghanistan and Iraq," Ahmadinejad this year referred to the "tragic incident of Sept. 11" and described Osama bin Laden as "the culprit."
