Well,at the risk of making everyone angry with me, I feel compelled to point out a couple of things. First of all, any statements regarding his right to free speech are moot. The Constitution grants free speech rights to U.S. citizens, which he is not. Second, Iran is the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Third, Iran is thumbing it's nose at the entire world (not just the U.S.) regarding their nuclear weapons program.For these reasons and others, I think it was a mistake for the university to even invite this thug to speak there. I agree that the mistake was somewhat abrogated by the fact that he made a fool of himself. However, everything that he said was already known from interviews and Iranian television broadcasts. The Holocaust denial,desire to wipe out Isreal and America,as well as his Apocalyptic religious views were on record. So nothing new came out of this.
And really, comparing President Bush to thisguy? When was the last time you heard of Bush having homosexuals and political opponents executed?
No,I am not a Bush apologist, nor did I vote for him. I'm just asking for a more accurate sense of proportion here.
