Thursday Night Live

David Mazower | 19:22 UK time, Thursday, 15 February 2007

Hi It's Karnie blogging tonight..sorry this is a bit late but here goes..

On Tonight's programme...

President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadenijad called for the destruction of Israel on several occasions... We asked...Does this warrant legal action? Also Tony Blair and Hugo Chavez are both making more efforts to listen to people they govern...we asked...Should policies be set by public opinion or personal conviction?

Your comments on the Iranian President's statement came in thick and fast....

Matola in Malawi
Trying someone for just saying something when others are killing innocent people in Iraq & elsewhere? Is that justice? I oppose the idea.


Ali in the Gambia

Why not ask Ahmadenijad...what did he mean?


Anon

We need geopolitical fairness, that's what's behind the war between Islam and the US-UK.

Anon
The state of Israel has to exist because tribes without states die out. There was such a thing as progressive Zionism once upon a time.

Vivian in Spain
The Pres of Iran is guilty of controversial rhetoric G.W.Bush is guilty of starting an illegal war.

Kindama in Freetown
Why do you want to try Ahmad Inejan for making ordinary rhetoric? What about Bashir of Sudan who's busy exterminating his own people.

Moses in Nigeria
Ahmadinejad is the champion of those oppressed by the evil policies of Bush & Israel. Bush, and not
Ahmadinejad should be tried.

Amaefuna Chimaobi,Nigeria.
Can you wipe out America without touching Amercians. Saying it's just rhethoric is nonsense.

Anon
Iran's president's statment should be taken seriously. It is in tandem with his nuclear ambitions. He should be prosecuted and Iran's nuclear programe should be halted.

SWAFAR in UGANDA
Israelis are acting exactly like the LRA in Uganda killing inocent people.

Anon
George Bush also referred to a set of some countries as an axis of EVIL !! This was extremely provocative,& can cause serious in the world ! He must be tried

Anon
Iranian president is a deadly monster that should be crushed now.

Bauchi Nigeria
Amadenijad is right, Israel should be scraped because its an illegal country, and he should not be brought to the book.

Kano in nigeria
To be fair Bush & Blair must be prosecuted first.

Anon from Nairobi
Both AHMEDDENIJAD and BUSH should be locked up in the same cell . That may be the only way to get these two to talk to each other.

ADO NASIDI, NIGERIA
The statement made by the Iranian president is uncalled for he deserves legal action


Maibe from Nigeria

If he should face trial for inciting genocide, what happens to President Bush who is actually wiping out the Iraqis off the face of the earth?

Anon
Did not Israel erase palestine from the map. Don't they kill muslims everyday. Who will punish them?

Anon
I wonder why you people are after Ahmadenijad who has only talked about genocide are you forgetting the real people who carried out genocide?

Richard in Sierra Leone
If there is a move to charge the President of Iran with genocide, then Bush should also be put on trial.

Lubna in Iraq.
Hi friends...welcome back Ross if Nejad is to be charged then Bush, Blair and Olmert should be charged with him. Didn't they call for destruction?

This was the response we got on Political leaders and power...

Najeeb in Pakistan
In a Democratic system a leader must listen to the public. We suffer terribly Pakistan. Democracy is only a dream for us.

Eddy in Accra
The irony about true leaders is that they are vested with power serve the common interest of their people.


Segun from Nigeria

In my country politicians don't lead or follow. They boss you along and milk you dry.

Ann in the UK
Leading democratic politicians SHOULD take heed of the electorate's views and bow to public opinion on serious issues i.e the invasion of Iraq.

Lubna in Iraq
As for iraq...Iraqi officials care too much about common Iraqis opinions! In fact Noori Al-Maliki calls me each day before deciding anything!

Anon
Politicians in Africa follow their own convictions and in so doing have ruined their countries.

..and that's it folks...thanks for joining us on World Have Your Say tonight...it's business as usual tomorrow!
