Watching the UN General Assembly this year made one wonder if the illustrious world organization should not be moved from the East River to Hollywood, as it is undoubtedly the “best show in town,” with almost 200 heads of state, prime ministers and foreign ministers mostly directing their bravado toward their domestic constituencies and the television cameras. The Oscar for the Best Actor would probably go to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as his act was closest to the somewhat ridiculous and dangerous man he is, speaking about freedom, human rights and peace without masking his Muslim fanaticism or revealing his nuclear and terroristic ambitions and Iran’s abuse of human rights and basic freedoms.
