TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad challenged U.S. President George W. Bush to a debate on global issues at a U.N. summit in New York, state TV reported on Sunday, repeating a call rejected by Washington last year.
"I had suggested holding a debate. I am saying again that let us discuss global concerns at the (U.N.) General Assembly in front of representatives of other nations," Ahmadinejad told state television.

The White House rejected Ahmadinejad's last year call for a presidential debate, calling it a "diversion."
Ahmadinejad is due to visit New York for the opening of the United Nations General Assembly in September. It will be his third visit since he took office in August 2005.
During his interview with the state television, Ahmadinejad also condemned U.S. policies in the Middle East, including Iraq.
"I am ready to hold talks with Bush on important global issues at the assembly," he said. "Let us hold talks about Iraq and other issues. Then public opinion will judge ... We will offer our global solutions."
The United States severed relations after Tehran's 1979 Islamic revolution which toppled the U.S.-backed Shah.
Washington accuses Shi'ite Muslim Iran of providing funds, arms and training to Iraqi Shi'ite militants and of supporting terrorism across the Middle East. Iran denies the charge and blames the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 for the bloodshed between Iraq's majority Shi'ite and minority Sunni Arabs.
Tehran and Washington have held talks in Baghdad to find ways to restore security there but ties are still very strained.
They are also at odds over Tehran's disputed nuclear work. The United States accuses Iran of covertly trying to build nuclear arms under cover of a civilian program. Iran denies this, saying it needs the technology to generate electricity.
Iran has so far refused to halt sensitive nuclear work, despite U.S. threats to ratchet up pressure with new U.N. sanctions. Two rounds of sanctions have already been imposed.
"Of course we will not abandon our right to nuclear technology," Ahmadinejad said. "We have obtained the technology to enrich uranium. We are at industrial level. Why should we abandon our activities?"
Washington is leading a drive for a third sanctions resolution. World powers are set to meet in Washington on September 21 to discuss a new resolution.

I wish this would happen. I'd love to see it.

Its been 6 years since 9/11 and our border security is still letting these terrorists in

Ahmadinejad is desperate to be more than he is, he wants to be perceived as Larger than life, the best leader of any middle eastern country.

Too bad he will fail. The way to success in Iran is to allow the people the ability to choose their own destiny and to overthrow the Religious mullahs that run the country with their ridiculous religious values.

Ahmadinejad is a dirty prick that cannot be trusted and will fail at all he tries.

I'd still like to see them in a debate...
