Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad invited President Bush to speak at an Iranian university if the American leader ever traveled to the Islamic Republic, state-run television reported Friday.

I would love to see Bush do this but alas he’s a terrible speaker. Maybe afterwards they can have a boxing match.

  • This is a really interesting way for Iran to respond. It's sortof sad that I would dismiss this possibility out of hand.

    However, I'll say it publicly: I will RESPECT Bush if he takes this opportunity. If Bush goes to Iran and engages THEIR wealthy, educated population in a public discussion... If it is intellectually honest, if the audience isn't stacked one way or the other... I will simply be blown away.

    I don't know if anyone is listening, but I'm putting this out there. If Bush JUST VISITS for a forum similar to Columbia University's, then I will be forced to consider these facts in the future when I am critical of the W Bush administration.

    Hear that? It will be trickier to be critical of Bush if he legitimately opts for a democratic gesture towards Iran.

    I have a specific proposal: that this forum should be hosted in Education City, Qatar.
