Yup. What rational thinking person would want to sit through another vile, West-bashing, holocaust denying, Jew hating, totalitarian tirade from Iran's puppet-in-chief, Herr Ahmadinejad?
France led the walkout of a dozen delegations including Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand and the United states. Canada soon followed. Israel boycotted altogether.
"Undeterred, Mr Ahmadinejad went on to accuse foreign troops of spreading "war, bloodshed, aggression, terror and intimidation" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He lashed out at capitalism, arguing it had reached the end of the road and would suffer the same fate as Marxism.
And he also used his speech to brush off accusations that his re-election in June was a fraud, describing the polling day as "glorious and fully democratic".
Notably absent from Mr Ahmadinejad's podium address was the subject of Tehran's stand-off with Western powers over its nuclear ambitions."
Meanwhile: Iranian-Americans Protest Ahmadinejad's Presidency.
"Thousands of Iranian-Americans gathered outside the United Nations on Wednesday to voice their opposition to the Iranian government, in the largest such protest here in 30 years."
On the other hand: Crowd at United Nations stage protests against Libya's Khadafy.
"A crowd of more than 200 included several relatives of the victims of the 1988 Lockerbie plane crash.
Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of carrying out the bombing - then freed on compassionate grounds by Scotland and given a hero's welcome home by Khadafy."
Update: Oh! Hold the phone. Khadafy has a rational thought! And I agree with him.
