Iran's Leader Sparks Western Walkout at UN Meeting (Week 14)

Iran's leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attended the UN meeting Monday. Ahmadinejad delievered a insulting speech against Israel. He has denied that the Holocaust never happened. A U.N. chief, Ban Ki-moon, asked Ahmadinejad, before his speech, to avoid dividing the conference. Ahmandinejad said that the U.S. and Europe helped establish Israel at the expense of Palestinians after WWII.

I personally think that Ahmadinejad was out of place with his speech. He is an Iranian not a Palestinean. This is not his fight to fight. If he wanted to help the Palestineans he should have delievered a much different speech. Now that he has openly insulted Israel the U.S., Israel's greatest alli, will probably have a close eye on his furture activities. If he was so dead set on delivering this speech then he should have said it to a more reclusive group unless he wanted everybody to know about it. All in all I think it was stupid for him to deliver the speech because his country isn't fighting that war so he shouldn't worry about it.
