I'm assuming here the debate will be conducted in English since Bush doesn't speak Persian. I don't even know if the prime minister of Iran speaks English too. I believe he speaks other languages besides Persian, but does he speak English too?
Not sure. During the Wallace debate (debacle) there was an interpreter. My fear is that Am a dinner jacket doesn't really want a debate, but an opportunity to take out the President of the United States.
