OK.. I think that inviting Ahmadinejah to Columbia was a mistake in the first place.
As I watched the Q&A, the introduction was very surprising. I really did think that Ahmadinejah would get a "warm" introduction from the staff from Columbia. Not necessarily the students. But the staff that invited him. And yet, there were many hits below the belt that I thought would never come up. I guess it was because that the questions that were picked did not cover what he wanted to be said. But there was a lot of hostility in his introduction. Why did they invite him, if they were just going to insult him from the get-go to begin with? I am not trying to come to his defense by any means, it just seems that neutral should be neutral.
The one question I was waiting for them to ask was "Where is Osama Bin Laden?" But it never came up. I was very disappointed in that.
I was very annoyed yet entertained by his idea that the Holocaust was 1 sided and it needed to be researched more. Well, my question who's side is one sided. The Jewish, the American's, the Polish, the German's. I have to say, my grandmother grew up in WWII Germany and she feared for her life everyday. She cannot, and will not watch anything having to do with the war. Movie, documentary, nothing. She does not want to relive that horror again. And she was not even in a concentration camp!
Yet, to finalize as humane as he wanted to come across, he is just wolf in sheep's clothing. Saying what we want to hear, and denying what is the truth.
