Iran's president does not get a friendly reception at Columbia University.
  • An Embarassment to Us...

    Mr. Bollinger's comments were deplorable. It would have been perfectly acceptable to state that there were questions about Mr. Ahmadinejad's credibility/veracity but to personally attack him was indefensible. It was a crude attempt at redeeming himself against the vocal outrage of the neoconservatives who want war with Iran and those who refuse to acknowledge that the Palestine/Israel conflict is a primary source of the conflict in the Middle East. Mr. Ahmadinejad has many issues with his positions but so does our President. Right is right.
