...it hurts me to have such discussions, but too many people in this country have no idea who Ahmadinejad really is and what he believes.

Remember the US Embassy takeover in Iran when Carter was our President? Ahmadinejad was one of the perpetrators. Given that embassies are sovereign property of the foreign governments that occupy them, he should be arrested and charge with kidnapping, torture and murder as soon as his plane hits the ground in New York.

Are you aware of a conference he recently conducted in Iran that was a forum denying the Holocaust in Nazi Germany?

Do yo know that his beliefs in radical Islam have him convinced that Armageddon in the middle east will happen in very the near future, and his destiny is to play a major part in the deaths of millions of people? Let him express that crap in Iran, but not here.

The man is a terrorist. He is now involved in the killing of American soldiers in Iraq. He is now on a path to building a nuke to deliver to Israel to start the holy war to end all holy wars. He isn't a politician or a freethinker who deserves any platform in this country to spread his poison. The fact that Columbia University has offered this animal a platform to express anything is beyond pale. Speech isn't free in his own country. His should never be free here. In fact, his free speech here will have already been paid for by Americans killed and injured at his bequest. That my friend, is absolutely disgusting to me.
