Iranian President

I don t know how I feel about this whole Iranian President speaking at Columbia University tomorrow. People are debated on whether or not he should even have the right for him to speak, and on top of that, he wants to visit the World Trade Center site. Is he insane? Does he realize how awkward that would be for us Americans?

On Monday, September 24, 2007, Iranian President Mohmoud Ahmeinejad will speak at Colombia University after being invited to do so by President Bollinger.

President M.A. has called the Holocaust “a myth” and called for Israel to be “wiped off the map”. Iran sponsors terrorism and is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Who’s to say that if President M.A. gets his hands on a bomb, he won’t take action against America?

I feel that he should be allowed to speak at Columbia, not because I agree with what he stands for, but because I would like to hear what kind of answers he comes up with for the questions that are asked of him. I feel that his stand oh denying the Holocaust [of ever happening] is completely absurd and him thinking that Americans would actually allow him to visit ground zero is totally crazy and morally wrong.

Hearing his answers and his lecture will give Iranians and others the opportunity to see that it’s not only the Bush administration that oppose him, but the American people as well and that democracy is about debate and the open exchange of ideas.
