Snubs Await Ahmadinejad in U.S.
[Washington Times] Eli Lake and Barbara Slavin - With hundreds of Iranians still in jail and at least 36 dead in clashes with security forces, even Americans who have long favored engagement with Iran are feeling queasy about greeting its president during his scheduled visit to New York next week for the UN General Assembly. Even the Quakers say they won't meet with Ahmadinejad. "We decided this year, we are not going engage with him in a big public meeting in New York as we have in the past," said Joe Volk, executive secretary of the Friends Committee on National Legislation. "It is best for Americans to let the dust settle on the elections before we engage."
