Mr. koch expresses himself in this article from a political and religious standpoint. He is affected (as he shouild be) by the "brazenly uneducated" Leader of Iran. His parotting of racial literature any fool could buy on the internet is so laughable it is in serious danger of being discarded as was the case with his redecessor, Hitler. But to say that it was Mr Bollinger's responsibility to challenge Mr. Ahmadinejad on any level but that of a college debating team platform is unfair to what Mr. Bollinger could have really been doing: showing a fool to a highly educated audience and then ehancing the fools foolishness by allowing him free time on a respected stage in front of people who would invariably see him for what he truly is: A fool. And don not forget Mr. Koch, you seem to have discounted all the highly educated Iranians who were watching in their home countries, sitting there, trying to figure out which rock to crawl under as they watch their fellow countrymen and women being represented by this fool. And how about all those gay men and women living in Iran who "knew" what happent to gays but only need the rest of the world to hear it from the horses mouth. Next time, Mr. Koch it would be better iof you removed your personal agenda from the article and focused on the ramifications of not letting the world see a world class fool.
