As expected, Mr. Ahmadinejad delivered his racist speech to the UN conference on anti-racism. What were these people thinking when they invited? Did they believe he might have turned over a new leaf and was going to be an active member of a council on anti-racism? He calls everyone else arrogant but cannot see that he is standing at the peak of arrogance. His only agenda is to call for a dissolution of the Israeli state. I'm surprised anyone was left sitting there when he went into his tirade.

They could not refuse him as Ahmadinejad had a right to be there; however, if the members there decided to walk out then that was their choice. Personally I would have engaged him in debate.

Also; what he said was for the consumption back home and other Arab/ Muslim nations and not for the West's benefit.
