ARRA News agrees with Thompson & Romney on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visit

ARRA Editors agree with and thank Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson for making clear statements that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not have been permitted. Their comments follow:
Fox News, Mitt Romney Says Iran's Ahmadinejad Should be Kept Out of U.N. Meeting, Indicted: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not be allowed to address the U.N. General Assembly next week, but instead should be greeted "with an indictment under the Genocide Convention," Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney. . .

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon posted on his campaign website. . . . Romney told reporters: "I think the invitatiom should be withdrawn.
