THE REASON IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE DECISION

[DMCKEON]

To All,

As you probably have read the city has changed their position and are now denying the President of Iran access to the Ground Zero Site.

While we will never know the true story of what actually took place with various agencies pointing fingers and sighting miscommunications the bottom line is that access has been denied.

While this is the outcome that we had wanted we have a real problem with the reason given for the denial.

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman stated that they had attended a meeting with the NYPD and it was determined that "no dignitaries would be allowed inside the site due to ongoing construction"

Are they serious?

They are not going to let him visit the site because he might get hurt.

Give us a break.

How about stating some real reasons.

You can't visit the site because;

Your country continues to support and finance terrorism.

Your country continues to supply weapons and ammunition that continue to kill American servicemen and women.

Your country continues to act as a safe haven for Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

Your country is one of the main reasons why we have a Ground Zero and why September 11th is now the darkest day in America's history.

We don't need or want you to lay a wreath at Ground Zero as you are one of the reasons that nearly 3,000 people do the same each year to honor those took from them on 9/11.

We don't need or want you anywhere near Ground Zero out of respect for those who died and continue to die as a result of your ongoing support of terrorism.

This has nothing to with safety at the site and until we stand up to Ahmadinejad and others like him they will continue to mock us with these types of publicity stunts while Americans continue to die.

No we do not need or want Mr... Ahmadinejad at Ground Zero, in New York, or in the United States.

If the Port Authority, the Mayor or the NYPD don't want to pass on this message have them tell him to give us a call we will tell him where we would like him to go.

Put It Above Ground
