Question

Answer 1

talk is cheap... as proven by both bush and ahmadinejad.....

Aha cannot be be detained for speaking his mind and there is no link of him to terrorists...

as for words, they are mostly carried by the wind.... unlike the US, when US says duck, it means run... we no longer shoot, we bomb... if the 1st bullet is to small get a bigger one...

Answer 2

No. Get educated son, the President doesn't issue visas. The State Department does that.

Answer 3

The united states never refused visa to any head of a state to attend united nation's assembly.  your saying about yassar arafat is different.  Even, the cuban president was given visa to attend the U N.  surely, the iranian president will be given withou any doubt.  sir,  Md Ahmadinejad is a head of a nation and iran is a member in UN.  No one can deny visa to him.  There may be any difference of opinion between America and Iran, denying visa is not appreciatable.  That too, to a head of a state.
