NEW YORK – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged President Barack Obama to see Iran as a potential friend instead of a threat ahead of addresses both leaders will give to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.

The Iranian leader also said in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview Tuesday that he expects "free and open" discussion of nuclear issues at a meeting next week with six world powers, but stressed that his country would not negotiate on its own nuclear plans.

Well we did have Saddam as a friend, and we got him hung, so maybe this is really Obama playing a blinder!

Saddam was never our "friend". The US aided Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war because it was clear Iran would win and control a huge portion of the world's oil. Keep in mind this was just after the oil crisis and Iran hostage situation.
