"Ahmadinejad just won this one. Bollinger made a big mistake insulting him at the beginning. It just made Ahmadinejad a victim. He should never have been invited."

The only way you could say that is if you are totally ignorant of what is going on in Iran - Bollinger spoke the truth - Ahmadinejad refused to directly answer any question - it was pure unbridled propaganda. So you think Mr. "There are no homosexuals in Iran" is the big winner. Even if the truth hurts - it should not be considered an insult.

I lived two years in Iran, 1977-79. I was there during the fall of the Shah and the hijacking of the Iranian Revolution by Khomeini. I have some understanding of what is going on there today as well. It is not a matter of Bollinger speaking the truth, but rather, whether his gratuitous insults helped or hurt Ahmadinejad. I think they helped Ahmadinejad. It made him a sympathetic figure for some.
