Perhaps you heard, as I did, that there would be a protest at the UN against Iranian President Ahmadinejad.

Perhaps you also assumed it fizzled and wondered why no one protested.

Perhaps you read the Associated Press or Reuters report that a couple of thousand people protested against the war in Iraq.

But I bet you didn't hear about the tens of thousands who gathered across the street from United Nations headquarters to protest Iran's President Ahmadinejad.

Read the rest.

According to The New York Sun, speakers at the protest included Ambassador Bolton, Governor Pataki, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, and Professor Alan Dershowitz:

Mr. Wiesel chastised the United Nations for welcoming Mr. Ahmadinejad to the General Assembly at all. "A man who brings shame to the world has no place anywhere. He must be excluded from all groups of international nations," he said.

Headliners at the rally stressed that while Israel may be Iran's primary target, Iran with nuclear weapons would become the world's threat.

"We stand with those who defend freedom in every corner of this globe," Mr. Pataki said. "We must stand with the free independent people of Israel."

Mr. Dershowitz also announced the preparation of an indictment to be drafted against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leader, accusing Mr. Ahmadinejad of inciting genocide against the Jewish people. "This indictment poses the perfect test case to see whether or not these international organizations have the will, determination and ability to take action before a genocide is completed rather than merely to build memorials for past victims," he said.

Bloggers were there and covered the massive protest. Atlas shrugs' Pamela Geller Oshry posted pictures and this video:

Except for The New York Sun and The Daily News, the American main stream media decided that 35,00 people protesting Iran's president is not as news wortyy as a couple of thousand people protesting the war in Iraq. Call your local paper and ask them why the paper didn't cover the protest against the new Hitler who wants to wipe Israel off the map.
