Iran's president does not get a friendly reception at Columbia University.
  • Oh Please !

    Give me a break. Most of what Bollinger said was straight out of Ahmadinejad's own speeches (and before you bring out the tired 'it was all mis-translated' line, let me save you some time; I speak Farsi). Ahmadinejad had the largest forum he has ever had in his career to defend himself and he failed miserably. He has been reduced to a laughing stock which is what a man of limited power and even more limited intelligence deserves. I'm still chuckling over the 'no homosexuals in Iran' line. Bollinger deserves a great deal of credit for saying what no one else in the world has dared say to Ahmadinejad's face. Now if only some equally brave man would do the same to the other coward with limited intelligence , but unfortunately way too much power in this country; I would die happy.
