Although the president of Columbia lambasted Admadinejad, I still believe that the Iranian president’s message was strategically targeted at the American left, where it would find a receptive audience. As we will see in the weeks ahead, that goal was successful.

Fox News- (first and third paragraph)
Ahmadinejad said the American people have been denied “correct information,” and his visit will give them a chance to hear a different voice, the official IRNA news agency reported.
THIS SHOULD BE READ AS: I know how well propaganda works in my home country and throughout the Middle East, so I am going to make use of it in America also.
“The United States is a big and important country with a population of 300 million. Due to certain issues, the American people in the past years have been denied correct and clear information about global developments and are eager to hear different opinions,” Ahmadinejad was quoted by IRNA as saying.
THIS SHOULD BE READ AS: Those in the U.S. who are ‘eager to hear different opinions’ are on the far left and are already aligned with Ahmadinejad in mind and spirit.
