The new terrorist president of Iran will have to give an address to the United Nations soon. The Bush administration is thinking of preventing that from happening.

The Bush administration is considering taking the unprecedented step of preventing a visting head of state from addressing the United Nations in New York by denying a visa to Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, Iran’s new elected conservative president.

Officials said a decision rested on investigations into whether Mr Ahmadi-Nejad was involved in the 1979 US embassy hostage crisis and the killing of an Iranian-Kurdish dissident leader in Vienna in 1989. Iran denies his involvement in either event.

Good, do it. Governments like that of Iran shouldn’t be allowed to participate or have influence in organizations like the UN.

Meanwhile, Gateway Pundit is rounding up the latest on clashes in Iranian Kurdistan. The mainstream media is finally reporting, though my first post about it was over two weeks ago.

The Iranian government has deployed large numbers of troops in cities in the northwestern region which borders Iraq in an effort to quell three weeks of civil unrest that has left up to 20 people dead and more than 300 wounded, according to reports from dissident groups.

They said as many as 100,000 state security forces, backed up by helicopter gunships, had moved into the region to crack down on pro-Kurdish demonstrations.

A big thanks to Gary Metz, who has been keeping up on this diligently, and notes that the protests have moved all the way down to Khuzestan as well.
