Ahmadinejad proposes a political experiment in response to a question from Fareed Zakaria. Here's a transcript:
Fareed Zakaria: Before the Arab spring, Iran was widely loved in the Arab world. Polls showed that. In the last poll, Iran's standing has dropped to 14% because I think you are seen as supporting Syria as it brutalized its people. You have the longest serving leader in the Middle East now, except for Oman. The Supreme Leader has been there for decades. Iran's standing in the Middle East has dropped. This is by the objective polls. This is not my opinion.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (through translator): I think if you want to put an end then to all dialogue, we should have an experiment - an objective and practical experiment. President Obama or any European leaders, whoever. Those who claim to be the best, they can come with me. We should go together to any country they wish without any security guards, and we join hands and we go to the streets and then we will wait for people. How they react.
There is no need for any polling. There is no need for any media campaign. And we just wait for the people to show, to see their views and their reactions from Japan to Uruguay, from the United States to Indonesia, from Scandinavia to South Africa. I am ready to do it. President Obama, the German Chancellor, the French president, British prime minister - any of them. Especially in Arab countries. Let's go together. And they can also set the time and determine the place. We go together and we will see how the people react.

Send him to his own country's streets with no security guards. See how the people react/
Lets put US president in same situation and see the results
In October 2010 Ahmadinejad paid a visit to Lebanon. Huge crowds gathered to greet him and listened to his speeches. Yet he was heavily guarded! His "mentor" and rival, the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, had been victim of an assassination in 1981. A bomb hidden inside a tape recorder detonated while he was giving a news conference. He lost the use of his right arm. So I doubt, if Ahmadinejad would dare to go out and walk freely like most of us.
This man truly is a joke.....you want to join hands......start with your own people and create the biggest circle jerk ever held.
lololololol
This THUG is counting on his false sense of reality. Who the hell will like to live in a place like IRAN that is completelly corrupted, living under the TYRANNY OF RULERS that shield themselves with a false GOD to empower their wishes with guns. Iran lives under a shallow of darkness where nobody can speak out their true ideas and have to cope with this dictatorship that kills in the name of god like the middle ages or the nazism. Please AHMA"EVIL"NEJAD take some of your fortune out of swiss and far east banks and give it back to your people.
I don't think they will let you in for one.
THIS TYRANT AHMA EVIL NEJAD is a dictator that doenst want to leave power like any other middle eastern tyrant Who is encraved in power forever like the ancient persian rulers that we saw in movies like 300, that ruler that came from where now stans IRAN and that was crawling down human stairs, well that is ahma evil nejad and is crew of gangsters. Please
Please shut the hell up. Eventhough I'm against the IR and Ahmadinejad, I will not tolerate an ignorant fool like yourself who quotes a SH.. movie like 300 to slander my beautiful country and its history. Despite everything Iran is still a nice place to live and without its regime it would be even paradise. YOU have never been there, YOU hardly know ANYTHING about Iranians and their history, so please, PLEASE, stfu.
He was elected and won, and his term is over in about 2 years...don't compare him and iran to your stupid arab rulers who rule for over 40 years and still don't want leave.
You are delusional. He has not finished serving his second term (4 years a term) yet! So, what the heck are you talking about?!
This guy is no saint, and so are all the other nations claiming to be better than the other. Example the U.S does not join the ICC but will quickly refer to findings from the ICC to be credible. they fear that they have committed crime against humanity in Iraq, Afganistan ... etc the whole goal here is world domination. Unless you have lived in the M.E and in the western countries you will begin to understand that people dont matter, only money and profits at the end of the day. this is something that the Iranian president understands all too well eventhough he is quite radical, but then again is'nt the U.S NATO also radical? the only difference is they are better at selling thier B.S to a population the has been glued to the TV for too long
THIS CREATURE IS MENTALLY RETARDED. HAHAHAHA
This comment of yours sound TOO profound. You take it easy.
I have the perfect place and time. The US, and any time=D
As long as we send Bush and Obama to Afghanistan at the same time
Trust me, American leaders will be shred to pieces in 75% of the world countries. Not the smartest and most prosperous of all, but still. Ahmadinejad has a point there.
Send him to Houston. We will give a great big Texas "Howdy".
What has he done to you? Your government and media tell you to jump and you jump.
If that happens, no one will be standing because people will be trowing rocks and bahqara..
We all know what happened to Bush when he came to Iraq on his goodbye visit...lol Ahmadnijad has a point specially now wit the economy like this. Everywhere Obama go there is protest.
S_ck this Allahbeensobad. 8==>
