Sure, if the people don't want to see him or his speech/debate then don't go. This is a simple.

Bush's behavior show itself is coward and childish.

You can see the links in that link.

It's Bush's problem, not Ahmadinejad.

Huh? Why should it be insulting?

Do you know anything about Ahmadinejad? From the statements you've been posting it seems that you do not.

Either that, or you support his positions, which I sure hope isn't true.

Diplomacy was used, and failed, before the war.

He was enforcing what the UN had ordered.

Yeah, maybe they didn't like a tone that was firm instead of "pretty please with a cherry on top."

One can be polite, intelligent, and firm at the same time. Unfortunately, Bush never mastered that.

Huh? I born and raised in UK. I never heard that pissed means is very drunk...

pissed off - Get lost/Get out or Go away

Example: You nag to drive me mad/annoy. In my :mad2: impression, to tell you pissed off. Also use those word "fuck off" as well.

Fuck off - tell you to go away to leave me alone or none of your business...

Example:

You involve my life to tell me what to do... In my unfriendly impression, to tell you fuck off or pissed off...

Both languages are consider to be offensive and rude.

If I want to be leave alone then ask them polite manner to leave me alone please instead of use those word "pissed off" or "fuck off" with angrily impression.

If I don´t like them to tell me what to do then ask them to respect me if I think or see different as them in calm way... If they are stubborn on both definition then I would tell them to none of their business in firm way instead of use those word "fuck off" or "pissed off".

Iran demands change in US policy

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has demanded concrete policy changes from the US as the price for new relations between the two states.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said he had seen no change in America's attitude or policy, singling out US support for Israel and sanctions against Iran.

But he also said that if President Barack Obama altered the US position, Iran was prepared to follow suit.

President Obama on Thursday offered "a new beginning" in relations with Iran.

He made the offer in a video message to Iran's leaders and people seen as a dramatic break with the approach of George W Bush's administration.

Relations between Iran and the US have been strained over Tehran's nuclear activities.

BBC Iranian affairs analyst Sadeq Saba says that a minimum requirement for Iran would be a move by Washington to ease US sanctions.

'Words not enough'

Speaking to a large crowd in the holy city of Mashhad, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran had "no experience with the new American government and the new American president". One gesture the US administration could make would be to ease some sanctions on passenger aeroplanes and spare parts Cyrus, Tehran

"We will observe them and we will judge," he said.

"If you change your attitude, we will change our attitude."

In the speech, which was carried live by Iranian television, he said Iran was yet to see such a change.

"What is the change in your policy?" he asked.

"Did you remove the sanctions? Did you stop supporting the Zionist regime? Tell us what you have changed. Change only in words is not enough."

Sadeq Saba analyses Iranian response'

The BBC's Sadeq Saba says the Iranian supreme leader may be acting to prevent any internal division between moderates and hardliners over how to react to President Obama's offer.

The demand for the US to withdraw support for Israel is clearly unrealistic, he says.

But any easing of bilateral sanctions or a freeze on Iranian assets could signal to Iran that the US is serious, he adds.

'Mutual respect'

Mr Obama's offer came in a direct video address to mark the Iranian New Year.

In the message, Mr Obama said he was seeking engagement with Iran that was "honest and based on mutual respect".

Obama reaches out to Iran

"My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us," he said.

The address was distributed to news outlets in Iran with subtitles in Farsi, and posted on the White House website.

Mr Obama's approach - prefigured in his inauguration speech - was seen as a clear departure from the approach of the Bush administration, which described Iran as part of the "axis of evil".

In another possible move towards engagement, the state department is said to be considering an overture in the form of a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei before the Iranian elections this summer.

Even so, a week ago Mr Obama extended sanctions against Iran for one year, saying it continued to pose a threat to US national security.

The US fears Iran's uranium enrichment programme is a cover to build atomic weapons, a charge Iranian officials deny.
