Quote:Representatives of many Western nations walked out of a major nuclear review conference at the United Nations on Monday, just as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the podium. Israel deliberately took absence from the summit as it began its month-long review of the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) at the UN headquarters in New York. While a number of foreign dignatories were expected to address the review summit, Ahmadinejad was the only head of state to deliver a speech. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations had contacted ambassadors of the UN member states and placed ads in major newspapers earlier Monday urging the ambassadors to walk out when the Iranian president began to speak. Representatives of the United States, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Hungary and a handful of other countries followed through with this request and left the auditorium. The delegations of the United States, Britain and France all walked out of the U.N. General Assembly chamber during the Iranian president’s speech. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon opened the conference on Monday by challenging Iran to provide proof that its advanced nuclear programs were for peaceful purposes, amid the international row that has surrounded Tehran’s atomic ambitions. “I encourage the president of Iran to engage constructively,” Ban told He made the comments just moments before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad began his address to the body. “Let us be clear: the onus in on Iran to clarify the doubts and concerns about its programs,” Ban said. The United States and its allies are pushing for UN Security Council sanctions to punish the Islamic republic over its nuclear activities, which they believe are aimed toward developing atomic weapons. In his opening address to the summit, the UN chief called on Iran to comply with UN Security Council resolutions and “fully cooperate” with the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA]. Speaking to Iranian media upon arrival in New York, Ahmadinejad said that Iran would put forward “practical and fair” proposals on disarmament and world security at the conference, the semi-official Mehr News Agency reported. Western diplomats expected Ahmadinejad to mark its opening by accusing the United States of using fears about proliferation as a pretext to deny developing nations access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes in breach of the NPT.

I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

Quote: Because it is callous and thoughtless to ignore a man spewing blood libel and repeating outlandish conspiracy theories. By all means, the diplomats ought to attentively listen to him, thereby granting his madness a veneer of legitimacy and sparing his feelings. If only we'd listen to the asshole, Iran would change its course.

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: After WE dismissed him. By your own cites, you'd have to admit that the United States is part of the groups that dismissed him and walked out. Don't know why you can't get your head around that.

Quote: The level of dishonesty and deception on your part is bewildering, to say the least.
Quote: There's no other explanation except to say that if I admit the sun rises in the East, you'll take the opposite view, saying it sets in the East, and call me a liar.

Quote:Originally posted by Riverlove: I always thought walking out of the UN sort of defeats the very purpose of the thing. The US still foots most of the bill, so why walk out? Why not sit there and listen to the man. Make faces and gestures of displeasure and disdain if you want to, but walking out without listening is almost an act of weakness.
