    Nothing at all. Actually the opposite in that it would be a great learning experience.

    Ppl fail to realize that Iran and the USA are not at war. Just because we don't agree with Ahmadinejad's idea of government does not mean we can't have an open-mind to his views.

    nicely it would seem that the two you and Bush instruct a real loss of information of Chamberlain. What might you have had Chamberlain do? declare conflict on Germany (and so Russia as nicely) while Germany had a 2 12 months headstart on Britain in terms of militarization? Chamberlain offered Britain time and then at modern initiated an aggresive coverage of militarization. Blowing our enemies of the face of the Earth isn't the only selection and would by no skill be the 1st selection. you should additionally no longer confuse communique with appeasement. no person is suggesting Obama won't own a stick alongside with a carrot - yet to call for a lifelike results of negotiations as a pre-needful of negotiations is to doom them to failure. The clumsy heavy-exceeded attitude to foreign places family members isn't a function kind for destiny presidents and to set emulating it as a standards for the presidency is to doom the U. S. to a further and extra remoted function interior the international. Your final sentence demonstrates this lack of ability to work out the international in its real experience. each each now and then discretion is the greater proper area of valor.

    Someone said it was ironic that he could speak freely here but would be hung if in his own country. That is exactly why we HAVE TO let people like him into our country. We hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we must let these people speak. Even better, it is at a university where people are SUPPOSED to be learning to filter content, to discern right from wrong, and to form judgements with an open mind. This will be the ultimate test. If one can not hear arguments that go counter to what they believe, then they are not ready to graduate college. If they can't form their own opinions and find counter arguments to this man's opinons, then they aren't ready to be an American.

    You mean other than he sponsors terrorism? He is supplying the insurgents that are getting our soldiers killed? He has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. He has denied the Holocaust. Yes there is plenty wrong. The Ba$tard should be allowed to go to and from the UN and that is it and get the Fvck out of my country.

    Considering this guy is a complete tool, yeah I see something very wrong. This man is all about hate.

    Isn't it ironic that a man like Ahmannutjob is allowed to speak freely in the US yet his people would be murdered if they spoke their mind in IRAN.

    Yes there is a whole lot wrong with it. Such as he is an insane dictator bent on destruction of democracy and we should not do anything that shows the smallest amount of support for his government.

    it would be like asking hitler to come speak at one of our universities just prior to WWII...

    he is insane... he hate the US...and is protecting terrorists... he sends weapons into iraq to kill our soldiers...

    he doesn't believe the holocaust happened...

    and he wants to destroy isreal....

    this man is not playing with a full deck...and should not be given any sort of validation... columbia is wrong in allowing this man a platform.... that he will use for propaganda in his own country....

    hell, he should be on the terrorist watch list and not even allowed to set foot in this country..period....

    As he is coming to the US to address the UN I don't think we can keep him out of the country but I fear for his life, not that I have any respect for him, but it would be a horrible international incident if there was an attempt on his life while he is in NY.

    Universities are places of higher learning and I have no problem with him addressing the students at Columbia. They are supposed to have open minds and part of being a thinking person is learning to study all sides of a discussion.
