The Washington Times called Ahmsdinejad’s permission to New York and his participation in the UN’s General Assembly session an insult to the UN’s principles and asked to prevent it.
The Washington Times wrote on its Tuesday issue: “It is a disgrace to the founding principles and mission of the United Nations that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be allowed to speak before the body next week during the gathering of General Assembly. Mr. Ahmadinejad has chosen not to engage in a respectful dialogue and is instead calling for another genocide. This is in flagrant disregard of the UN’s mission.”

The Washington Times criticized State Department for announcing that it was ready to give visa to Ahmandinejad and wrote:” Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has rightly expressed outrage at Mr. Ahmadinejads presence in New York, pointing out in a letter to Mr. Ban that the despot is supporting Hezbollah’s terrorist efforts, flouting the international community through his nuclear weapons program and supporting Shiite Militia extremists in Iraq.”
