Ahmahdinejad's Speech

With the General Assembly in session in New York City nobody is really surprised that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech was riveting and controversial.  From Ahmadinejad saying that capitalism is dying to representatives walking out to Iran's nuclear program, the controversial leader didn't leave much unsaid.

One of the biggest jaw-dropping moments came when President Ahmahdinejad proclaimed that the United States government had had something to do with the September 11th attacks that killed 3,000 people.  He said that some sectors of the government had helped with the plan in order to save the declining economy.  He also claimed that U.S. officials let the attack happen so that they could continue their world domination.  Just to put my opinion in, that's crazy.  Last time I checked imperialism ended a long time ago for America.  And there is no way possible that our high-ranking officials are so corrupt that they would let 3,000 people die just to bring the economy up.  But anyways, President Ahmahdinejad announced that Iran would hold a conference this coming year to study terrorism and find a way to combat it.  One of the topics of this conference will be to investigate who actually organized the September 11th attacks.

Not many representatives stayed, however, to listen to all of President Ahmahdinejad's speech.  Many representatives from various countries, including the United States, walked out of Ahmahdinejad's speech while he was spewing his theories about the September 11th attacks.  Ahmahdinejad expected people to stay and listen to his idiotic ramblings, but yet he has not responded to Western power's invitation to discuss Iran's nuclear program.

In part of his speech Ahmahdinejad did address nuclear programs saying that everyone was entitled to nuclear energy but no one was entitled to have nuclear weapons.  He stated that 2011 should be the year that every country disarms their arsenals.  But yet Iran can't submit to the IAEA?  He claimed that the IAEA has "illegally imposed pressures."  Also in his speech Ahmahdinejad railed on the Western world.  He said that the Western world "destroys 'the purity and exquisiteness' of women."

In the end, Ahmahdinejad held up both the Quran and the Bible and said "We pay respect to both books."
What are your thoughts on President Ahmahdinejad's speech?  Do they pay respect to both books?
