As with the UN regulations, and because we are host to the UN, he is a foreign dignitary and is not subject to the laws that govern the basic man. He cant be arrested or given a ticked for speeding, urinating in public...etc.

He is deserved the same respect and basic rights as any dignitary, no matter what he is believed to do.
He will, undoubtedly have any reasonable request fulfilled during his stay.
If he feels he requires police protection, then he will be escorted, cause someone might try to assassinate him. Killing him or arresting him will not change anything, since he does not control the country, the mullahs do.

Yes, Iran is a very nutty country.
They do develop weapons and sell them, just like any other country in the world.
They have a dress code too, and they are cracking down on it.

Sure, Iranian weapons are killing Americans, so what. So are Russian and Polish made.
There are more Polish made weapons killing Americans than Iranian ones. Where do you think the AK-47 is manufactured, since 1955....
And not to mention Russian made missiles and explosives.
Hell even American weapons are killing americans.
How do you think colt and s/w stay alive, they are military contractors of course.
Ever seen the movie Lord of War.

Also, how do you think the US obtains foreign weapon.....though gray area markets.

Though as you have seen, dignitaries are treated above the common man. When that lady from the defense department visited Syria, she was not forced to wear a head scarves, and i would assume the same if the first lady would of visited Iran.

Guns don't kill people, bombs don't either, its the people that decide to use them.
And on the words of embarrassing the US at the UN....yeah right.....
His credibility has been completely shattered by what all the countries of the world know.
If he says something derogatory about the US, he would only be embarrassing himself as a leader.

He also knows, that if he has nuclear weapons, and uses them, then the western world would blow his entire country off the face of the earth, it would be like one big crater.
France's new republican president already has the finger on the button, and america doesnt even know where to aim the missiles yet...

Dont be an idiot, and stop posting why he should be arrested or refused or whatever.....
We agreed to hosting the UN, and we must now accept all the consequences of hosting all the foriegn dignitaries, friend or foe.

The same way we cant legally assassinate Fidel Castro. He is also protected by UN law when he is in the US. We can, though, do it on his soil
