Iran's president has defied the United Nations Security Council and snubbed the Bush administration, but there is one authority he can't ignore: the New York Police Department.The NYPD announced Thursday that it had turned down a request by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to lay a wreath at the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. The Iranian leader is to arrive in New York on Sunday for the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.
The problem is that under the Host nation agreement signed by the US with the UN, world leaders must be permitted to travel more or less freely within 25 miles of the UN Headquarters -- and the host nation (that means us) must provide security.
Which means, of course, that the US Secret Service may be in the position of squaring off with NYPD to enforce the international obligation to permit the Iranian terrorist-sponsor to go to the site of the single worst terrorist attack in American history.
I personally agree with John McCain.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should be physically prevented from visiting Ground Zero should he attempt to go to the "sacred" site where the World Trade Center once stood, Arizona Sen. John McCain joked Thursday."I think the president of Iran should be physically restrained if necessary," a laughing McCain told radio host Shawn Wasson. "I hope it doesn't come to that but we're not going to have that kind of desecration of what is sacred ground. Obviously, it is a propaganda ploy on his part, and if we allowed him to do it it would just embolden his followers and give him the publicity he seeks."
If this evil man attempts to approach Ground Zero, American citizens ought to defend the sacred site from desecration by fully exercising the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights -- rights that Mahmoud the Mad denies his own people.
This is one more reason for demanding that our government repudiate the Host Nation Agreement, expel the UN from American soil, and and renounce membership in that corrupt organization (perhaps forming a new one, open only to free nations, in its place).
