The Columbia president is dodging the issue of whether the tyrant Ahmadinejad deserved to be handed a huge worldwide propaganda victory by being invited to the university – initially by a faculty member, and then on the approval of a prominent dean and Bollinger himself.

The president says he is not sure that he himself would have invited A’mad to the campus.

Perhaps he will stop passing the buck and, when he makes up his mind, tell the public whether this invitation was in the best interest of this nation or not.
