Iran's president challenges Bush to an open, uncensored debate.

Too bad that it would never happen, but it would be wonderful to see. The American public would hear a different set of facts, figures and perspectives than the narrow and slanted stuff dished out by the rabid Fox News "experts of the day" taking their talking points from the White House. Without defending the Iranian regime on civil rights and such, one has to ask how they would feel if their country was totally surrounded by hostile military bases and warships by people who historically have interfered with their internal politics, propped up their dictators, supported people like Saddam Hussein in invading their country, and constantly tried to bully them? One might wonder how they feel about the nuclear situation, where they have accusations and threats against them for their compliance with a global treaty that Israel refused to even sign, even proceeding to steal nuclear weapons technology from the US to boost its own nuclear program with hardly a slap on the wrist?

Iran may well be seeking nuclear weapons. Most things I read indicate that there is not a lot of proof of that, but the strongest argument is that anyone bullied and threatened the way Iran is by the US would have huge incentive to do so.
