He was on the Late Show with Letterman in 1993 even http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2335475/ Isn't it surprising to know that Obama and the Secretary of State didn't meet with him nor gave him a proper welcome from the US Government. It was just a low level meeting that he got from state department. I bet that was just for a show.
He's pretty savvy in drawing attention of the public about climate change and his situation.

These two seats are stronghold places of MDP since its formation & since 2008 elections. They have lost two of their strongholds which is a major political shift here in Maldives. Shows peoples support to the current government.US & Commonwealth both have said they will be closely monitoring bi-elections and the future of early presidential elections will be decided through these bi-elections.Which means if MDP wins early elections should be held, but if not there is no need for early presidential elections as the government had peoples support.
MDP (Nasheed) lost his two major strongholds for years.
Mohamed Nasheed, the first democratically-elected president of the Maldives, left office in early February under conditions he described as a coup. On March 30, Nasheed visited the State Department

Whatever Nasheed says people of the country are not with him. Even his traditional strongholds people are changing hearts and minds in support of the new government. This is the result of 3 years of failure and lies to both Maldivians and International Community. He talks about climate change a lot. But to Maldivians he doesn't talk about it. There is not a single thing Nasheed did to improve environment condition in Maldives. He talks big for popularity.

MDP Vice President Alhan Fahmy claim that Ousted president Nasheed wants to retire from politics; handover MDP to his long term enemy Abdulla Yamin; younger brother of former President HE Maumoon.
Although it sounds preposterous the main opposition MP and Vice President of the deposed president Mohamed Nasheed’s party MDP Mr Alhan Fahmy is claiming that Nasheed is seeking legal advice to give MDP to Abdulla Yamin. This means Nasheed intends to retire from politics as Abdulla Yamin has very clear ambitions of running in the 2013 Presidential election.
Abdulla Yamin was one of the opposition leaders that Nasheed while President ordered the Military to arrest and Yamin was held in solitary confinement longer than the other leader taken; HE Gasim Ibrahim. Yamin also happens to be Nasheed’s most hated enemy Former President HE Maumoon’s younger brother.

Nasheed game goes wrong
It’s a “great game” that appears to have gone horribly wrong for the former President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed. In trying to cosy up to China, he appears to have lost both his presidency and India’s backing. So Mr Nasheed has flown to New Delhi to try and get its support for early elections in the island nation.

In other news, Parliament members propose of pulling out of Commonwealth of nations says its Anti-Islamic organization, created to sever some countries.
Nasheed is clearly Anti-Islamic and too much pro-western. Parliament members today proposed to pull out of Commonwealth.
Do you believe that the Maldives should be an anti-western fundamentalist Islamic state?
