Ahmadinejad in New York

Historian Michael Wolffsohn considers it wrong that Ahmadinejad has been allowed to make public appearances in New York: "This potential mass murderer, who even has the temerity to announce his mass murders in advance, is being treated with a high degree of tolerance. But it's not Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who's the problem, it's us, or to be precise, us as part of an international community that allows people to do as they please - even call for the extermination of other states and deny the Holocaust... German and European politicians must wake up from the delusion that the UN embodies the world's conscience. In a nutshell: actions in a global context should be based on Western democratic values, not on UN compromises that are accepted by Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe or other rogue states. We must remember our values, which ultimately are universal."
