Sounds cool to me. keep your friends close and your enemies closer Looks like an assassination opportunity to me Assassination... The sons and daughters of a Great Nation, being conscious and rightly proud of the advantage of their politico-ethical values, will behave with integrity. So watch your language, and keep an eye on your immature and criminal neighbors! Funny how we can question Ahmadinejad. But Bush takes no questions except from those pre chosen. Amen, cptenaud! Thank you for posting this finally, I think I've read enough conservative fear mongering posts on how we should bar him from the country - thankfully some people out there can think beyond visceral reactions and realize the strategic value in NOT banning him. Maybe they feel threatened because he's a better public speaker than bush? who knows. Blaming his schedule, Ahmadinejad left Columbia after his speech before answering many questions posed to him, Bollinger said. Ahmadinejad drives the GOP over the edge Let it all hang out. Let us hear what the big dog from Iran has to say. It is controversal speech that needs protecting, not speech that we all want to hear. Besides, hearing what he has to say, tells us what he really is. Just like the hate spewers, such as the KKK. Let's listen to what the idiots have to say so we do not wonder if they are good guys or not. An educated person can listen to many different ideas without getting angry. Can you? There isn't much more I can add to what has been said before. Free speech is for all speech, not just what we want to hear. The idea of isolationism is what allowed Hitler to rise to power and Stalin to do what he did in Russia. Of what are we afraid? His ideas and rhetoric must be put on display and we must use the powers of communication to bring our worlds closer together. After all we are all humans are we not? America under this administration has become more communist and less free. We argue on ideas of immigration and use the threat of terror to discriminate and practice racism. To elimate hate and ignorance the answer is not to silence those who we fear but to put their ideas... Yes, but in the warped minds of people like him, he's being honored. His people will see this the same way. He looks out over the student body....from above them. He thinks he is a great man. He thinks America will soon be putty in his hands. Also, I'd be interested to know how many people there openly challenged him to his face. Did they make it clear to him that no one agrees with his handling of things, or were many of them laughing and joking with him? By the way, I'm not a republican or a conservative, or a christian. While it was good that the Iranian President was exposed to an open forum the comments made were in very bad taste.A guest should not be insulted by his host.In any case,America can hardly hold themseives to the World for exemplary behaviour! They have disregarded the United Nations,imposed terror in Iraq & Afghanisation & left these countries in a mess.Iran's attitude is a direct result of American policies which seek to dictate to all & sundry what other 'less trustworthy nations' can or cannot do.First America should display maturity with responsible behaviour before lecturing others on civil rights. If he wants to speak, let him speak, as the University said, it is free speech and EVERYONE should be allowed to use it, right? OH! except the ROTC! I really do agree that he should be allowed to speak, and I am also glad that he was no allowed to visit ground zero, but I do not think if Columbia is going to say "everyone has the right to free speech" then not allow the ROTC even on campus, something is wrong with this. is there free speech anymore,but let it be free.Giving him the chance to talk helps us,even if it is a small help giving that chance is for us not him knowing he can have free speech is good for us and the world.you think columbia is all that brought him here yea right our gov. knows whats going on and its a smart move to allow this speech.everything we cand find is for our future you think.What do you think his fellow counrymen think about this.Its a positive move.Might b wrong wont be the first time wrong hope its the last 'As American as apple pie' caught my eye. Many things are truly American. But giving Ahmadinajad the pulpit is like allowing the garbage to stay on your kitchen counter. Americans throw the garbage out. They don't allow it to sit in their face, to gather disease promoting mold and maggots from the rot it represents. I hope most recognized that he didn't say anything new. He chose to spew the same ill-conceived ideas and criticisms he sends from Iran and elsewhere. If you didn't recognize them, you haven't been listening. Vital to life and sanity is a clean house and mind. Be American first. Consider what dictators have to say -- garbage!!! Pardon for intruding....but what do you mean by: Be American first. |
