A visit to Ground Zero
Reader comment on: New York to Ahmadinejad: 'No'

Submitted by Randy Katro, Sep 19, 2007 21:02

Please let Iran's President Ahmadinejad know that Americans would be delighted to have him visit Ground Zero so he can lay a wreath. It would give New Yorkers the opportunity to show their hospitality.
