| [Iran Press TV Latest] President Ahmadinejad says Iranians' "Down with the US" slogan is a result of the "ugly behavior" of the United States governments. In an interview with the National Public Radio (NPR) on Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad noted that even the US President Barack Obama in his remarks has accepted the fact and has called for a change in the way Washington treats other nations. The Iranian president meanwhile noted that friendship is more sustainable than animosity and voiced Iran's readiness for dialogue with the US, Fars news agency reported. Asked about the reason behind the "Down with the US" slogan chanted in Iran, Ahmadinejad said "this is their (the Iranian nation's) reaction to the ugly behavior of the US governments." The Iranian president was also asked to explain his remarks on the Holocaust, which he had delivered during a speech on Al-Quds Day. "I have a number of questions with respect to the Holocaust: Why is the Holocaust the sole historical event that has been magnified, and why politicians have paid special attention to this event and have approached it with bias. Why the people of Palestine have to pay the price for it and why no one is allowed to launch independent and logical investigation into the Holocaust," he told the NPR. "Currently there are a number of prominent historians, who are serving prison terms on charges of investigating the Holocaust. These are serious questions and I call on those who care for human rights to answer these questions." |

| #5 Time heals all lunatics, he's only got 10-15 years to spout insanity before "Allah Takes Him Home? (To Hades) Damn few people live beyond 80, (My MOM is one, she's 94 and going strong) But she's not an insane "Leader" in a backwards Land, with poor medical help available. (Here, Take two Sheeps dung "Droppings" and call me in the morning, If you can.) |

| #4 Paragraph 6 sounds like he's finally acknowledging the Holocaust was real. I think on an intellectual level he's probably always accepted it did take place and I'd count this newest revelation as progress, except for the fact that he doesn't seem to believe it was a 'bad' thing. |

| #3 Ahmadinejad elaborates on 'Down with US' slogan Nothing more that is different than what's held by the usual suspects on the left here. I just suspect jealousy rather than content separates those now in charge in the Beltway from coming to a amenable accord. |

| #2 I'm sure the liberal NPR listeners rubbed their chins and gave Mr. Ahmadinejad's comments serious consideration. Because they are, you know, so much smarter than the rest of us and so nuanced. We just think he's crazy - they can see he is deep and nuanced. |
