"US lawmakers on Friday denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's plans to join a major UN nuclear disarmament summit next week in New York and urged he not be given a visa to attend.
"This is preposterous, and allowing it to happen will make a mockery of the effort to stop the spread of nuclear weapons to rogue states and terrorist groups," 14 Republican senators wrote to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."
""There is simply no compelling reason for Ahmadinejad to be allowed to enter the United States," they said. "The US government has the legal authority to deny Ahmadinejad's request and bar his entry -- even if he is transiting only to the United Nations. We ask that you exercise that authority."
Republican Senator John Cornyn led the group of senators, who wrote their letter after Iran's UN mission said Ahmadinejad had applied Wednesday for a US visa to lead Iran's delegation to the non-proliferation treaty (NPT) review conference."
"……."Make no mistake: Ahmadinejad?s attendance will make a mockery of a conference meant to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons," they said."

My thoughts: Many of our elected officials in Congress and the Senate receive bribes..,I mean "contributions," from the AIPAC (America's pro-Israel Lobby). The US Congress goose-steps to the whims of Israel. Israel is not a signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Iran is.
NO ONE, including Israel, should be AFRAID to debate and discuss the issues.
