Akhmad Makhmoudinejad has US media tripping
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had said last year and kept up his rhetoric that he'd like Israel to be wiped off the map. Iran has also missed the UN's deadline to halt its uranium enrichment programme.
Yesterday, he said that Iran doesn't need a bomb and that its nuclear programme is peaceful. He even says Iran respects the 'American people'. Naturally, the media here can't seem to make up their mind about this rebel president and his intentions. However, he's made it to Time's cover.
Neither can they pronounce his name right, with every commentator pronouncing it as 'Akhmad Makhmoudinejad'. I knew the American's could never spell Gandhi right since they consider (wrongly) the 'h' to be silent (Ghandi/Gandhi...), but how do you insert a 'k' where it doesn't belong?!
Anyway, Colbert has this NYC itinerary to recommend for the Iranian president.
