US people, before you come watch this dialog, you need to learn more and more about politics and get informed with right information. I know how you think US person. YOU ARE SO IGNORANT, how can you just say things about other countries where you are so ignorant and get wrong information from other news from your country. MUSLEMS DO NOT NEED HELP AND ARE NOT SCARED FROM ANY country like what AN said. media in the US should really know more about countries and inform with right information (not made up). and if you know who are Muslims, I don't think you will ever say bad stuffs or become ignorant any more (despite this dump stupid groups like Alqaidah) who changed the reputation of Islam. wish there is a real piece that comes out from those countries with high power like the US. The problem is not with citizens in the world, it's Media and governments.

Charlie Rose has a right to 'show' Ahmahdidanutjob as often as possible; and is to be applauded for it (Not reprimanded).

If it makes his suffering feel better, because of his position, the world is better off for it. If it is God's will to exterminate him, Let It Be Done By His Own People.

What good is free speech if people can't be heard unless they say what the majority wants to hear? Most people seem to want to live in a totalitarian State...as long as it coincides with their point of view. If you want freedom for yourself you have to defend freedom for those you disagree with. I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

I am scolding Charlie Rose for any interview of this wannabe Hitler. Like old useless files, he should be shelved or deleted. If David Duke or the head of the KKK

wanted an interview and expose, would Mr. Rose grant it?

This man has been compliant in the murder, torture and maimingof thousandsof his own people. His election was rigged. He is a tyrant..a thug, and a petty dictator. His denial of the Holocaust, or using it as part of some conspiracy to brutalize the Palestinians, is outrageous and insult to 300,000 American GIs who lost their lives during WW2 as well as the 50m other victims of Hitler. Now, he

demonizes Israel to a fault..the bully which has occupied Palestinian lands...doing to the Palestinians what he,in fact, has done to his people. He can smile and lie at the same time. He should be isolated, not pandered to.

While Charlie tries to give all sides a fair hearing,

I wonder how much of this is for ratings? I also wonder

where Charlies sympathies lie? Ahmad knows how to circumvent the quesions..he is a pathological liar with

sociological tendencies. Me thinks the Charlie Rose can do better. He should not waste his, and our time, on cutthroatslikeAhmad..who is leading his people and the region to a conflict, that we cannot imagine the results of.

And that is the danger giving him a forum.

labadink  09/23/2011 12:21 PM Report

I think Dr. Ahmadinejad is doing something right. He must be saying something truthful about the state of world affairs. As humans, particularly as dominant nations in the west we dislike someone being upfront and brave to tell us the truth to our face. I honestly believe Dr. Ahmadinejad is no perfect as he is human and may have made some mistakes in his utterances or deeds, however there must be something he is doing right for the who world to be against him and the nation of Iran. In this world if everyone likes you, then you must be doing something wrong, the entire world is against Iran because they have brave men like Ahmedinejad who will not shrink under the treat of sanctions or intimidation. Like the bible says,"the world will be against you since you know the truth". One great American also said, "the arc of human history is very long, but it bends towards justice". time will tell if we humans are truthful to each other. I pray that we all wake up and speek truth to the powers that be without fear or favour.

I wish Ahmadinejad would ask Charlie Rose why the United States sold chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein to help him kill 100's of thousands Iranians.

Our foreign policy has resulted in millions of deaths and untold suffering around the world and the best anyone in this country can do in providing a response is "mistakes were made". It is shameful beyond words.

That scene only showed western politicians cannot tolerate any criticism about their mistakes. As an Iranian I'm proud of Ahmadinejad, we are a civilized and cultural nation with enough respect since we never invaded another countries so we can critisize the unfair management of the world. the question is why no one blames western powers for their mistakes which have destroyed the world and have killed millions of people up to now?

If somebody has the courage to tell the truth you call him liar?! of course you can easily not to watch Mr. Charlie Rose interview with him but you should know that a lot of people like it so your request is selfish.

I see that today the U.S. delegation along with a number of other United Nations delegates walked out during Ahmadinejad's speech/tirade. Seems that they are of the same opinion as I when it comes to listening to the lies and vile rhetoric that spews from this guys mouth. I have no idea why Charlie gives this guy any air time as it is just a waste of time when he could be interviewing someone interesting. You know exactly what Ahmadinejad is going to say and it just plays into his hands when Charlie gives him the time on his program. He’s not interesting – only predictable – and the valuable airtime should be given to someone that is enlightening as opposed to Ahmadinejad who everyone knows is a liar and a charlatan. When Charlie has this guy on it only gives him a false credibility and it is always boring to hear him drone on. It is such a waste of time, so can that be the last we see of Ahmadinejad on the "Charlie Rose Show?"

He is a smart man, but not smart enough to prevent UN delegations walking out of the hall during his speech.

What counts the most in life is… THE RESULT.

There is no 100% justice on Earth as long as we have the perception of race, sex, beauty, money, intelligence, nationality, and etc. Timing is another dimension which is not controlled by human. If he would like to have 100% justice, the first thing he shall do, would be sending us half of his underground oil since we do not have much on our land.

Fran6359: "America is 4 times as large as your population and you never see people greater than a few hundred protesting in the streets over elections."

Perhaps this is because they are too busy killing themselves with the diseases of gluttony (diabetes, obesity and heart disease). Or maybe it's because they are too busy voting for the next 'American Idol'. MOST Americans aren't even aware that our bloody wars are ongoing in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya...not too mention dozens of covert wars in places like Somalia, Yemen and Iran.

Don't worry though, the American people are about to be forced to wake up as, too their shock and dismay, their economy, privilege and entitlement collapses beneath them.

As for America's great 'humanitarian missions' why don't you ask the people of Iraq and Afghanistan how they like the 'benefits' of these interventions today. If the people of these countries (and soon the people of Libya) had a voice most of them of them would scream in unison 'I wish the United States would stop being so good to us!'

It is perversely ironic that in your opinion it is the US that is being dealt "shitty hands' yet it is the victims of our foreign policy (supporting dictators and engaging in 'preemptive wars') that have to pay the price! When the oppression, suffering and death comes to your land you might finally come to appreciate what a truly "shitty hand" over half the world's population has been dealt.

Obzervor  09/22/2011 05:48 AM Report

Indeed, Ahmadinejad seems to be able to skillfully maneuver around Rose's questions. I've carefully noted that Rose tends to ask Ahmadinejad close-ended questions (more like accusations with question marks at the end), rather than open-ended easy questions like he usually grants to 'Western' leaders.

Rose seemed to want to expose 'daylight' between Ahmadinejad's mention of his support for the people of Libya and his condemnation of Libyan's request for NATO help; and when Ahmadinejad responds with recalling the fact that to this very day, the West hates the popular uprising of the Iranians in 1979, Rose simply ignores the glaring facts, and continue to press the Iranian Pres on his position on Libya. That said, Rose seems to be a fairer interviewer than many others.

It would be nice, however; if Rose would simply recognize glaring inconsistencies as they are. It's obvious to any sensible person that the 'West' orchestrates and carries out blatant policies and actions of pure hypocrisy- supporting freedom in one place, and condemning it in another. If Rose were to do this, he'd be able to garner a lot more respect and credibility.

Mutex, America is 4 times as large as your population and you never see people greater than a few hundred protesting in the streets over elections.

Also your assertions that America is the scum of the universe because we were complacent with tyranical dictators is one of the most narrow minded arguments I've heard of on the subject. The western world had to put up with some terrible people to avoid the worse of two evil. We truly make our foreign policy decision based off of the facts that are placed in front of us. We are often dealt extremely shitty hands and never have an easy option to take.

Then again we could completely pull out of any humanitarian efforts and become isolationists....then we'd just have another incident like Libya, where the entire Middle East (minus Iran) is begging for us to come save innocent lives again.

I am not sure what the reason is, since he doesn't really answer any question and he keeps repeating himself over and over from one year to another. If this is for rating or just to follow the other TV programs, this program set itself apart from any other and I know it is popular because it is above all the others and doesn't need Ahmadinejad to bring a large audience.

Please DO NOT interview him again as all these attention and air time brings creditability to him which he really doesn't deserve since he cheated the election.
