Columbia Prez

Is the invitation by the President of University of Columbia or by the dean of International & Public Affairs school doesn't matter. What matters is, president of Iran has been invited and Ahmedinejad has also come in after accepting the invitation. Bollinger, President of the University should atleast have come into the picture when decision to invite was made.

Now after the Iran leader has walked in, why to make all those derogatory comments right on the introductory speech itself? Is that a way to prove to the whole world that Bollinger is not interested in having Iran President in his campus. Would he have made such comments against North Korea leader or China leader? I feel - A person on campus for a speech after invitation should be treated with dignity.
