Lee Bollinger is a disgrace
Did he go through with his allowing Ahmedinejad to use Columbia as a platform for his obscenities? Tragically, yes. But I guess just as terrible is Dubya's own willingness to legitimize the Iranian dictator's entrance into the US and the aforementioned university (via Tammy Bruce and Hot Air). Some leadership there, eh?
As for Bollinger, he may have issued a rebuke to Ahmedinejad, but that still doesn't help matters. It makes no difference whether Bollinger is truly against Ahmedinejad or not, he should not allow tyrants like that to use the campus as a platform on which to spew obscenities.
John Bolton (also via Hot Air) had the following to say:
Bolton is absolutely correct when he points out that the Iranian monster would never have allowed an American critic to speak in Iran. If not, why then should we be allowing him to speak on any American university campus?
