Romney: Reject Iranian Leader

Monday, September 17, 2007

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not be allowed to address the

United Nations General Assembly next week, but instead greeted "with an

indictment under the Genocide Convention," Republican presidential contender

Mitt Romney said Monday.

"The Iranian regime under President Ahmadinejad has spoken openly about

wiping Israel off the map, has fueled Hezbollah's terror campaign in the

region and around the world and defied the world community in its pursuit of

nuclear weapons _ capabilities that make these threats even more ominous,"

Romney said in a letter to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon posted on his

campaign Web site, .

"If President Ahmadinejad sets foot in the United States, he should be

handed an indictment under the Genocide Convention," Romney added,

reiterating his point. He also urged the U.N. to revoke any speaking

invitation.

Romney routinely talks about the threat the United States faced from

"radical jihadists," and he has staked out a hard-line position against Iran

in particular.

In January, he called for economic sanctions against the Central Asian

nation "at least as severe" as those imposed on South Africa during its

apartheid era, aiming to isolate the country and convince it to give up its

pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

Last September, while still serving as governor of Massachusetts, Romney

ordered all state agencies to refuse any assistance if requested when the

former president of Iran visited Massachusetts. Romney said Mohammed Khatami

oversaw torture and the murder of dissidents, as well as Iran's secret

nuclear program, while in office from 1997 to 2005.

"State taxpayers should not be providing special treatment to an individual

who supports violent jihad and the destruction of Israel," Romney said at

the time.

Opponents of the current Iranian regime including Nobel Prize Winner Elie

Wiesel and Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz have previously called for

Iran's explusion from the United Nations.
