Statement of the Day

I saw 60 minutes last night with the interview with Ahmadinejad, President of Iran.

Mike Wallace asked Ahmadinejad what is his opinion about Bush? Here is an excerpt of Ahmadinejad's response:

"I think that Mr. Bush can be in the service of his own people. He can save the American economy using appropriate methodologies without killing people, innocents, without occupation, without threats," Ahmadinejad said.

And the president of Iran listed some impromptu statistics about the United States that he had on the tip of his tongue: "I am very saddened to hear that one percent of the total population is in prison. And 20 percent are illiterate. And 45 million people don't have a health care cover. That is very sad to hear."

Then Ahmadinejad had a new message for President Bush: "Those who refuse to accept an invitation to good will not have a good ending or fate."
