Mikaela says:
Anyone else bothered by the Iranian President not being allowed to visit Ground Zero to pay his respects and leave a wreath of remembrance?
Certainly not the democratic presidential candidates!
Mitt Romney called the request "shockingly audacious," Hillary deemed it "unacceptable," and Rudy Giuliani urged that "[u]nder no circumstances" should Ahmadinejad be allowed to visit the site.So... what's the message to Iran here? And what's the facial expression we're all supposed to wear the next time we do a major speech on our high horse about how Iran has to change because America, we're all about freedom!
Unless you come here and want to respect our fallen heroes. That we won't allow.
Seems like we're missing a big healing opportunity here, or at least something to throw back in Iran's face the next time they make decisions that endanger innocent lives (and our government, too, for that matter).
