Ahmadinejad is Making American Friends!


I don’t know how to interpret Mr.Ahmadinejad’s recent actions. As you all know by now, Ahmadinejad held a conference in Tehran to discuss the “myths surrounding the Holocaust”. The most notable guest, at least to those of us who are interested in American politics, was David Duke, a Former KKK leader and a Louisiana Congressman.

David Duke is no friend of the Iranian people. He has allied himself with the despotic regimes of the Middle East in order to fight the “Zionist Entity”. Inviting a known racist like David Duke to a conference in Tehran is not bad enough for Ahmadinejad that he had to meet with the former “Wizard of the Klan” in person. Even Bashar Assad, with all his wrongdoings and lack of experience, did not meet with Duke when the former Klansman visited Syria last year.

Is this a desperate attempt on Ahmadinejad’s part to attract more negative attention towards Iran? Is he trying to win the “hearts and minds” of Iran’s Arab neighbors so one day, they will support Iran in her nuclear dossier? Or is Ahmadinejad just trying to make some American friends!?


You can listen to Duke's speech in Tehran here:

Part II
Part III
