I am not here to promote the views of the Iranian President but it was thoroughly disgusting to watch how Mr. Bollinger conducted himself. I wonder where he learned to arbitrate. By the way, it shows his character, sic.
America preaches to the world to how the rest of us should adopt her ways and boast of liberties & rights but hearing the President of Columbia University, I wonder if someone can teach him simple courtesies, decency of conduct and common sense. Please note that it is wrong to invite someone as a guest and disrespect him so outright. Read the biography of the Prophet of Islam and learn how he conducted himself even in front of adversaries.
Finally, here is something for the President of Columbia University – "Mr. Bollinger, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel tyrant. You are either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated. I do expect you to exhibit the fanatical mindset that characterizes so much of what you say and do. I doubt that you will have the intellectual courage to answer these or change yourself". His own words slightly modified.
