Although Columbia brought him as part of a series of lectures involving Iran, and so I see the merit in his appeareance, I must admit that if I were a student there I would be upset that my tuition dollars were funding his maniacal, anti-semitic drivel. There is a certain reverance that comes with appearing at an Ivy League school and I think Columbia should be more responsible in whom they decide to effectively honor in this way. It's also not as if Ahmadinejad is lacking in fora for his lunatic agenda. Bring me an Iranian woman who drives, I'll happily hear her speak, and be very pleased that an old and revered American institution is paying her.
