Columbia univeristy- high-ups should be committed

'Columbia's president Lee Bollinger defended the decision to invite Mr Ahmadinejad, saying the university was "committed to confronting ideas", AFP news agency reported. '

Shaped charges are not ideas. Latest model Chinese anti-aircraft missiles are not ideas. These things kill and maim British and American troops in wars being fought right now. Ahmadinejad heads a government that is committed to destroying Israel, has subverted two and a half middle-eastern countries already, and is in the processes of subverting Iraq. The leaders of all the non-subverted countries in the middle east understand this. How is it that the Columbia great and good don't?

What ideas are they expecting to encounter? The soft-left talking points that Ahmadinejad wheels out every time he thinks a western journo is writing down his words? What a bunch of morons.

Isn't it more surprising that he was allowed into the USA?Apparently Lilly Allen isn't

Does America have a track record of banning foreign leaders from visiting? Or just foreign leaders of countries they are at war with? Of course, I can understand not wanting Lily Allen in your country- anybody that pouty who is rich and privileged should really be taken out behind the woodshed and quickly despatched.
