I think it is absolutely disgusting that this university would give this man who hates America and would nuke us at any chance he got a chance to speak at a UNIVERSITY....to college students! It makes me so angry.

Ridiculous that an institution of higher learning would give platform to an ignorant hate monger who thinks the holocaust never existed.

Calm down.
It should be very enlightening to hear what the man who has publicly denied the Holocaust and threatened just about every civilized non-Muslim nation on earth with annihilation has to say that has any credibility what so ever.
Hopefully, the students at Columbia haven't been so indoctrinated in liberalism that they actually give anything this lunatic has to say any serious consideration.

If his ideology has no credit, as I believe you would agree, there is no danger in letting free-speech ring.
This is what makes America great; he can come here and say what he wants to. Can you imagine Bush in an Iranian University giving a speech? It would never happen.
Should we not try to understand our adversaries?

of course he isnt, he's tryna make himself appear as if a "stable guy" to get each and all of the "freedom of speech" people to "like him", and take the somewhat some media warmth off of his tyranny. What i dont get is how is he defended by employing freedom of speech while he's no longer a citizen, the form shouldn't take care of him.

There is no freedom of speech in Iran. None. But we have it here. Let the man speak, and rant and rave. Let us take the high ground by letting him do what no one can do in his country. Let him vent his spleen at us, and when he's done all of the good and decent people here in the United States and around the world will have their say and drown him out.
Winning the war of ideas can be a more lasting victory than the result of a military action.
Wow... Madame Z and I are really getting pasted with "thumbs down" marks. OK, fine, you warmongers... let's just go to war with Iran... we'll lose thousands of men and women in the opening phases, instead of roughly two hundred as we did during our last military "adventure." Iraq and Afghanistan will become unprotected flanks as we press our already ground-down units there into service against the Iranian forces. But they're just the cannon fodder until we bring the very last of our unblooded units over from European and US Bases. No one wants a draft, so where are the replacements coming from? Oh, we'll prevail... eventually. A Pyrrhic victory that will pop up tens of thousands of crosses across the United states, and slay perhaps a million or two Iranian troops and civilians. Our treasury is bankrupt, so to finance this war, we'll just have to go further into debt to the Japanese and Chinese. Our international reputation as benefactors will be buried in the muck for generations. Nominally friendly and neutral Muslim countries will become hostile, and those cash-rich foreign nations who keep buying our bonds might just stop doing so on principal, or common sense. After all, how could we pay them back after Iranian oil goes off the world market, oil terminals across the Middle East shut down due to damage or protest, and our economy basically stops moving?

Lindsay, for awhile, I just thought you were another left wing nut on here ranting, but today you have earned my respect, Letting a man that funds Hezbollah, who gives sanctuary to terror leaders in his country, and Provides our enemies explosives to KILL U.S. SOLDIERS, has no business speaking at Columbia, or any other American university in our country, not to mention his a@@ should never set one foot near the 9-11 memorial

I find it fascinating that they claim they're allowing this guy to speak because of the furtherance of free speech but they won't let the military exercise THEY'RE free speech on campus. Free speech....yeah, right! I'm pretty angry, myself. I was sooo happy to see that several alumni are going to withhold monetary contributions because of this. Let the Iranian alumni who support that guy fund the place!

I think it's great that people are talking to each other. Only through intelligent conversation can people realize that they have humanity in common and that they are more or likely working toward similar goals. If this visit from the Iranian President in any way promotes a peaceful resolution of the issues between nations, then it will be totally worth it. I just wish Bush and Rice were as amenable to the promotion of peace and good relationships with foreign powers as Columbia University appears to be.

My thought is he should be arrested if he steps outside of the UN building.
