Iran's Ahmadinejad Travels to U.S. After Making Threats

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left Sunday for the United States to take part in a conference on nuclear nonproliferation. Ahmadinejad will address the United Nations Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference in New York on Monday. Ahmadinejad told reporters in Tehran before his departure that the NPT has failed. "The biggest threat to the world today is the production and stockpiling of nuclear weapons," he said.

Iran insists its program is aimed at producing nuclear energy, while Washington accuses it of seeking to develop nuclear weapons. With the United States pushing for new international sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt its nuclear program, a top Ahmadinejad adviser, Mojtaba Samareh Hashemsaid Saturday that his nation "cuts any hand that signs a document against Iran."

Ahmadinejad has stated formerly that, "As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map." He has denied the significant horror of Hitler's holocaust against the Jews and others, and has made threats against the U.S. similarly to that as made against Israel. In the Quran itself it states that anyone who does not convert to Islam must be killed, which it states is the duty of every good Muslim.

Yesterday, Times Square in NYC was shut down due to a bomb found in a car that thankfully failed to explode. For the first time in ages, the U.S. is soon prepared to reveal the amount of weapons to Iran and the rest of the world in its nuclear arsenal.
