BOLLINGER CLAIM JUMPS AHMADINEJAD
Columbia University President Lee Bollinger excoriated Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday, going through a long list of documented actions and remarks by the firebrand Iranian leader and his government. "Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator," Bollinger said to applause from many of the 600 people in the room for a speech from the Iranian leader. He cited the Iranian government's "brutal crackdown" on dissidents, public executions, executions of minors and other actions. And Bollinger assailed Ahmadinejad's "denying" of the Holocaust as "ridiculous" and "dangerous propaganda." He called the Iranian leader either brazenly provocative "or astonishingly uneducated." "The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history," he said. He said he doubted Ahmadinejad would show the intellectual courage to answer the questions before him. Ahmadinejad responded quickly. "We don't think it's necessary before the speech is given to come in with some series of claims," the Iranian leader said. He said Bollinger's comments included "insults" and false claims, and flew in the face of an environment that's supposed to let people speak their minds. | ||||

I believe that is exactly what Lee Bollinger did. In an effort to be fair, Ahmadinejad could be both brazenly provocative and astonishingly uneducated, as neither is mutually incompatible.
P.P.S. Speaking of same as it ever was, Ahmadinejad's speech was exactly like every other rambling, nonsensical, crazed speech he has ever given. I am not sure what Columbia University was expecting, nor do I agree with giving an Ahmadinejad another platfrom in which to speak, but I (grudgingly) give them points for calling him and Iran out on the carpet.
P.P.P.S. No homosexuals in Iran? Technically Ahmadinejad is correct, only because Iran does not recognize homosexuality, just heterosexuals performing homosexual acts. This is creepier and more confusing than an episode of Oz. | |||
