Any Arabs or Persians here?
It'll be interesting to know how this appears to Arabs, Persians and the rest of the world.
In the UK, Ahmadinejad will be regarded as unreasonable. Politicians aren't expected to reply to calls for foreign debate. They, or their spokesmen, have to explain themselves to their electorate on occasion but not in a head-to-head debate. No one will think any less of Bush if no one bothers to reply.
Is Ahmadinejad just playing to the Iranian crowd again?

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
