Protests Against The Iranian President's Speech At Columbian University

Large scale protest is going on over the upcoming speech by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at NY's Columbian University. CNN even happened to interview a clueless babe who was bugged that the university had invited the President to give a speech at her university and despite knowing that there would be tough questions asked she whined that the world would think that America/ her campus are honoring the leader of a terrorist state.

What she along with those who are protesting fail to realize is that by censoring or denying the Iranian President they would be going against their much touted tradition of Freedom of Speech.

It wasn't Ahmadinejad who flew the plane into the towers just like it wasn't Bush Senior who went around suppressing Afghanie people. So lets drop the hypocrisy. In 2000 the main countries opposing the Taliban were India and Iran.

Which is why for the world it is surprising when the Americans continue to fall for what the Bush Administration had to say.

"This is somebody who is the president of a country that is probably the greatest sponsor - state sponsor - of terrorism," Ms Rice told CNBC television.

Probably? Come now Ms Rice one would expect you to put your money where your mouth is. If you ain't sure should you not be practicing innocent till proven guilty or would you once again scream WMD and invade Iran this time? Show your iron balls missy!!

I wonder how long will the American people continue to fall for the Bush's cry of Wolf till they regain their senses and realize that all they have done is fattened the pigs sitting in the White House, made Halliburtan that much richer and got Dick Cheney a mansion in Dubai.

Give the devil his day at your university and bid him adieu.

Scott Adams incidentally has faced a whole lot of ire for what he has to say about the Iranian President's visit.
