Ahmadinejad Says Death-by-Stoning Story Was 'News That Was Made Up"

Iran's pressure on Israel has produced movement towards serious Israel-Palestinian negotiations with strong U.S.and Arab state backing. If such negotiations ultimately lead to a peace agreement, and a two state solution, Iran will truly become isolated unless internal political change is achieved.

I am sure it was Bush that was in office 25 years ago when ahatole khomeni burned the US flag on the streets in Iran,Liberals are going to get all of us KILLED

Sadly Ahmadinejad is not a transparent person. He seems to enjoy banter about very serious subjects. He is looking to find the weakness in our society to make the USA look bad to the rest of the world. He needs to really be a peaceful leader to his own people. Comparing the situation with our sentence of capital punishment to the Virginia woman vs. the stoning of Sakineh Ashtiani in Iran he seems to want us to see we are doing the same mistake. Capital punishment by lethal injection seems the most humane way to give the death penalty. Our country carries this out only after a full due process. Given our ability to advance DNA evidence then it proves one is guilty. Without this it may be best to give life sentences without parole. It may be time to end the death penalty in the US and the consideration of this has its merit. We can then be in a better position to show the world we are indeed humane as possible. Solitary confinement also is not seemingly humane but some offenders are an extreme danger to others. We are not hypocrits to demand release of Sakineh Ashtiani as no person should be stoned to death at any time anywhere. It is brutality and reeks of Nazi type behavior. It also could be compared to the Romans hanging people on crosses to die and sending lions in the kill and devour humans in an arena as depraved entertainment for citizens. We cannot advance our societies if they do not give civility and empathy for everyone. Please president of Iran do not ignore what the world cannot tolerate. Let the world see Sakineh Ashtiani and allow her freedom as if her only "crime" is infidelity we cannot say this is wrong. If she is guilty of anything please let the world give her asylum as Brazil offered and give her a trial managed by the United Nations. We acknowledge your comparison and point on the issue, you are entitled to your viewpoint and opinion. Perhaps it is time not just for Iran to change, but also for the US to change its system.

What a poor excuse for a human being.............

Media has incredible power to condition people's views on issues, people, countries and religions. I would not be surprised to find out Ahmadinejad is telling the truth and the Media is lying.

miscmale that is harsh fo rthem to have done that to your grandfather. my husband came here legally and fought for years to learn english and still has trouble with it sometimes. he has a medicl condition that holds him back on th elearning to read and write to the point that he cant learn to do this!! he works very hard to pay taxes an dworked hard to become a citisen of the us and still hes not accepted by others as a hard working member of society! descrimination is alive and well even today. the money he was given when he came here was only fo ra short time to make sure he had a place to stay and then they cu ti toff after 6 months and told him that he had to pay for the appartment and bills. which he could because he was working! and still illegal sare treated better and get benifits longer AND are able to stay here because they have ancor babies and they get our educational funds for their schools whil eours are lacking AND they get foodstamps and medicaid which we pay for while they dont pay taxes!! and still there are people that gripe n moan about us citisens being caught illegally crossing a borde rin anothe rcountry like they should have a special pass to do so..

I will tell you what he really wants from us, Please do not drill for oil in the U.S.A. continue to buy your oil from me so I can use your money to fund terrorism agianst you. Please do not use your own natural resourses, use mine so I can build bombs to destroy Isreal and the U.S.A. Anyone that thinks this IDIOT is our friend I have a bridge to sell.

This man is a threat to our national security. Obama will wait until he delivers a nuclear bomb on NYC and then be amazed that it happened. Thank goodness Israel has the ball and the bombs to stand up to this guy.

That was made up huh!! look this one up with pictures and all 8-Year-Old Iranian Child Caught Stealing Bread Fw: ISLAMIC JUSTICE Islamic Justice-- An 8 year old child caught stealing bread in a market of Iran is punished in a public place, in the name of Islam!!! His arm will be crushed and will lose its use permanently. A religion of peace and love, they say?

I think that it was Bush who was in the white house when the U.S. military action in the middle east started. How can anyone with an open mind and any intellect blame the undesirable results on Obama? Biased, partisan, politically motivated barbs at the current administration on this situation are not directed by people who look at the facts instead of trying to further their party's agenda.
