More Courage: Bush or Ahmadinejad?

[MethuenProgressive]

Poll question: More Courage: Bush or Ahmadinejad?

Both are despicable for many reasons, but Ahmadinejad came to our country and faced an unscreened audience that asked unscripted questions on a world-wide live TV broadcast. Does anyone really think that Bush would have the courage to go to Iran (or even to NYC...) and face an unscreened audience asking unscripted questions?

So, in this context; Courageous: Ahmadinejad or Bush?

2. despite what everyone believes

Ahmadinejad has the integrity to believe what he does and tries to follow that to the ends, he is respectfull to the international community even if his viewpoints draw derision and aggitation. He does not try to force his opinions on other people but instead calls for multinational referendums. He uses intelligance and politics instead of muscle and fear.

plus he can articulate his points without sounding like hes permafried.

ps. so i dont get flamed, i know what his policies are and i know what he does in his country (or what his religion dictates) I'm just saying he has the courage to stand for his beliefs in the face of overwhelming venom from the international community while at the same time not trying to force his beliefs on you.

8. For That Matter, Let's See Bush Go To Columbia University

and answer questions.

Agreed, either would be embarrassing.

[Lucinda]

13. Yup. Totally embarrassing. n/t

[polichick]

11. Yeah, he can read a children's book...

Upside down!

[Catchawave]

12. Ahmadinejad probably lies too, but

he's certainly a better speaker.

I give Ah-guy props for chosing this forum. How would Bush do in front of the Columbia students?
