You know how you were told in the last election to vote or die, but that wasn't true. This is just like that, except the stakes of this protest actually involve millions of lives. Iran's lunatic President Ahmadinejad is coming to New York get a tour and see Broadway before Al Qaeda nukes the whole thing a couple weeks afterwards. In response, a massive - massive - rally is being planned to point out that threatening to nuke Israel is not nice. Pamela has more details:

In the meantime, the Council on Foreign Relations has invited the Man Who Would Be Strangelove to hang out with them and a bunch of their closest friends. You ask: why would they do such a thing? Let us answer your question with another question: why would they say regarding the Pope that "reviews in Christendom were" poor, and then cite only one German newspaper and Juan Cole as proof? And why would they specifically quote the part of Juan Cole's post where he quotes from the Koran to imply that Muslims don't think that Christians and Jews are inferior? Answer: we just don't know.
Anyway, the good people at One Jerusalem have come to the conclusion that legitimizing Ahmadinejad by letting him make genocidal threats one month and meet with major civic, business, and political leaders the next month is a poor idea. They've helpfully given you background and contact information, and you should avail yourself of both to left CFR know that being nice to anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers is bad.
