Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Thursday that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not be allowed into the country, much less at the World Trade Center site, when he travels to New York next week to address the United Nations. “I know there would be ramifications in the United Nations” if the U.S. refused to let Mr. Ahmadinejad into the country, Mr. Thompson said during a brief news conference at Dallas Love Field. “I would deny this character a visa. What’s he going to do, visit there to get pointers for his own activities? I wouldn’t let him in the country.” Mr. Thompson said the Iranian regime was a threat to Americans and should be dealt with accordingly. “They’ve been killing Americans here and there all over the world for some time,” he said. “They’re doing so in Iraq today.”
