“This is an outrage, that this person would request to go to the place that he and his terrorist brethren have caused such destruction in this country. President Ahmadinejad is coming to the United Nations as the representative of a country, Iran, that the State Department has declared the "world's most active state sponsor of terrorism." His presence at Ground Zero would represent a slap in the face not only to those who were lost in the attacks on September 11, 2001, and to their families, but to all Americans. Make no mistake about it, Iran is a rogue nation that views America and the Americans as their enemy. To allow Ahmadinejad to abuse his status as a diplomat to visit this site would send a signal that we fail to take the threat that he and his country bring to this Nation and to our people in a serious manner.”
