President addresses students at Colombia University

Despite entire US media objections, negative propagation and hue and cry in recent days over IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's scheduled address at Colombia University, he gave his lecture and answered students questions here on Monday afternoon. On second day of his entry in New York, and amid standing ovation of the audience that had attended the hall where the Iranian President was to give his lecture as of early hours of the day, Ahmadinejad said that Iran is not going to attack any country in the world.

Before President Ahamadinejad's address, Colombia University Chancellor in a brief address told the audience that they would have the chance to hear Iran's stands as the Iranian President would put them forth.

As expected, a PR coupe for Ahmadinejad in his home country and the arabic speaking world.

[gotribe]

This is Hitler and the 1936 Olympic Games all over again.

The blood of freedom-loving arab peoples are on our hands.

President Bush should arrange to speak at Columbia within the next few days, and let the crowd heckle and boo him mercilessly, as they no doubt would. Let Middle America see that the Left on this country has gone completely over to the Other Side, and they will give a standing ovation to a terrorist and boo our own President.

Ahmadinejad, apparently, is Iran. His stands are "Iran's stands". So says the chancellor of Columbia University.

[Bulldawg Fan]

A complete lie. Virtually nothing like the news report happened. At first reading, it looks like a report in the American media.

I hope VOA is all over what really happened and broadcasting it back to the Arab world.

[mylife]

Let the propaganda begin :(

As expected, the media in the Middle East is also capable of spinning.

Iran doesn't speak Arabic. Farsi is a completely unrelated Indo-European language.

[Enduring Freedom]

For most of the world, the media IS the truth.

Nothing more dangerous than an impotent White House public relations team unable to counter such trash.

Talk about spin. Nothing about Bollinger's verbal dressing-down of Mad Mahmoud, of course.

[From One - Many]

Hitler with an atomic bomb is this ‘below the belt challenged’ arab Ahmadinejad.

[From One - Many]

Most of the world would be booing and hissing with the left, for most of the world is as ignorant as the left.

[gridlock]

Most of the World does not vote in US elections, unless the President’s amnesty provisions are much farther along than I thought...

Looks like the "Blame America First" group has gone over to the dark side and is now the "Hate America Always" group. This is the enemy of freedom...

A correction: the blood of freedom-loving arab peoples are on liberal's hands.

[Red in Blue PA]

Wonder if they will mention the number of times he was loudly booed?

[not holding my breath]

[angelcindy]

This beedy eyed lil weasel shouldn’t have been there in the first place...and we have loonies in this country that applauded this nutcase.

[popdonnelly]

As could have easily been predicted, the Left goes ga-ga over Ahmadinejad.
