On the foreign stage, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made a reputation on combative rhetoric. At home...his reputation hinges on...tomatoes?

  • Politicans always disapooint no matter where they are, don''t they? The "tomato" angle proves a point cleverly and with humor. It was startling to hear the young woman''s opinion of the US - as that of a snake, etc. Good piece.

  • Interesting clip. Unfortunately it is obvious that people don''t really say exactly what they want. This is due to the environment that they have created. I hope that the people one day raise and put these people aways.

  • I absolutely love this video! It really shows the people of Iran and their feelings towards the government and the problems that are important to them. Keep up the good work!

  • it''s getting better all the time real facts real situations real news from very brave people, taking extreme risks and what the lady said at the end made all the men (look closer at some of their faces-they knew she was right-even if it would/could ever happen-what she had to say) stand up and think, who were around her! Maybe a lot of the worlds problems could be solved by woman and not man. All it takes is two letters... ...w & o

  • I have to agree with JArce, that the young lady''s comment about America being "a snake" is somewhat startling, although not entirely surprising. (I know that Bush had made quite a mockery/enemy of America amongst other countries - but please believe me when I say that not all Americans are as bad as our "so-called" President. A lot of Americans are just as unhappy with Bush, as some of the Iranians are with Ahmadinejad - and a lot of Americans (including myself) don''t like and don''t support Bush, or his stupid war! (And many have been trying all they can to get him impeached.)

    All I''m asking of the international community - our fellow brothers and sisters from afar - that they not be mad/hate at all Americans. (I''m married to Iranian myself, and he''s just as sweet and kind as anybody I''ve ever met!) Not all of us are bad people - and like the Iranian people, there''s a good number of us Americans that don''t like or support what our governments do.

  • Excellent report from Iran, it provides a little found balance between allowing voices within Iran which are both critical of the current authority / government, while also questioning / opposing U.S. aggression towards the country...

    Point on the tomato debates is an excellent starting point...

  • What do you think of Ahmadinejad? Can you pronounce his name?

  • Finally! A humanitarian excuse to invade! Our troops will be greeted with gazpacho and bruschetta as they parade through the streets of Tehran, throwing bargain-priced overripe heirlooms at the children.

  • I loved what the older woman had said at the end to wrap up the whole video well spoken like a real mother. I''d be tired as well when there are things like that.

  • The woman at then end, the one speaking in the crowd, has such a brilliant point. I agree with her entirely, if the president has an issue with another leader, settle it in another way instead of threatening military force, and taking the lives of men from both sides. It's like nothing but a game of chess anymore, but with living pieces. I guess that's what global society has come to.

  • Mahmoud Ahmadinejad becomes the first Iranian president to visit Iraq since the Islamic Revolution and was received warmly by Iraq's political leadership.
