On This Visit To The UN, Ahmadinejad Is Afraid Of Protests

The last time Ahmadinejad came to the UN, Jewish leaders were embarrassed when at the last minute Sarah Palin was disinvited from speaking.

Apparently, now Ahmadinejad is the one afraid of being embarrassed:

Ahmadinejad’s delegation fears protests at UN

The pro-reformist website Emruz has obtained a letter from the Iranian Interest Section in Washington, D.C. inviting select Iranian-Americans to meet with Mahmoud Ahamdinejad in New York during the UN General Assembly meeting in September. The recipients of the letter are instructed to only invite “trusted” Iranian-Americans, out of concern that participants will make a scene and embarrass Ahmadinejad.

The legitimacy of Ahmadinejad's election can only be strengthened by his appearance in the UN, but that doesn't mean that protests will not follow him--albeit on a smaller scale than in Iran.
