McCain Assails Ahmadinejad

Senator John McCain: “I think the president of Iran should be physically restrained if necessary. I hope it doesn't come to that but we're not going to have that kind of desecration of what is sacred ground. Obviously, it is a propaganda ploy on his part, and if we allowed him to do it it would just embolden his followers and give him the publicity he seeks. We all know that unfortunately because the United Nations is located in New York City, he can come there just as (Cuban leader Fidel) Castro comes and some other jerks. [This] would be an affront not only to America but to the families of our loved ones who perished there in an unprecedented act of terror.”
