Perhaps he’s right, but this guy is also a Holocaust denier.

Update: And now he wants to hold a debate on the scale and consequences of the Holocaust.

The question is why USA is allowed to say who can have what? Why is Israel, Pakistan, India, Korea, allowed to have this weapon. Since when USA became the Police of the world?

In the amoral politics of the 21st century, you can almost always determine what someone is determined to do by what they say they are not doing. It would be tedious to recount all of the major instances of this persistent prevarication, but I would be willing to bet that the statement by Ahmadinejad is one of them. Once you understand that all Cretans are liars you have an important key to the discovery of the real truth. The new Medicare Part D, contrary to government hype, is actually a massive exercise in price fixing. There is simply no price competition allowed. If you agree to be a drug supplier in this program, you agree to charge the same prices as everyone else, prices mandated by the government. Of course, it has been obvious since the beginning that every business man desires above all else to have a monopoly - under Medicare Part D he has much the same thing, an end to price competition.
