Hello again Ynnatchkah. Thanks for your e-mail! What ideological idiocy - I went to http://www.columbia.edu/cu/news/07/09ahmadinejad2.html.

The President of Columbia U. Bollinger writes a letter defending his invitation to Ahmadinejad. Quoting Bollinger : "It should be never be thought that merely to listen to ideas we deplore in any way implies our endorsement of those ideas, or the weakness of our resolve to resist those ideas or our naivete about the very real dangers inherent in such ideas."

Ridiculous. Ahmadinejad is walking into a sea of marsh-mellows. Dear President Bollinger: Ahmadinejad is not full of ideas; he is a Facist dictator who kills our soldiers in Iraq.
