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.

Ahmadinejad would have won no matter what happened on that stage. Anything would have been twisted to construe “America bad.!”
Bollinger looked like a fool, to me, sounding so tough (for the purposes of calming his alumni and major donors), in an introduction to an invited guest. Just weird!
Agree completely. The academics think they can outsmart these ruthless dictators. They can’t.
