Mahmoud AhmadinejadYou may remember the big uproar created last fall when Columbia University invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak there. The university apparently takes some pride in their willingness to embrace psychotic dictators and enemies of our country. Columbia University President Lee Bollinger attempted to redeem himself a little bit by giving Ahmadinejad a bit of a hard time during his introduction, but it was really too little too late. Ahmadinejad was able to use the situation to his benefit in the propaganda he put out upon his return to Iran.

All of that happened last fall and everyone has moved on. Except the liberal professors at Columbia who are still stinging from the incident. Ahmadinejad got what he wanted from the incident and went home quite satisfied. He’s still carrying on about how he’s going to destroy the US and Israel and even sends his little speed boats to try to evoke an incident with US Warships. But these professors are projecting their own feelings on Ahmadinnerjacket and think they have to go apologize to him on behalf of Columbia University and the United States.

NEW YORK (MNA) – An academic delegation of Columbia University professors and deans of faculties plans to visit Tehran to officially apologize to Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.

The delegation plans to express regret for the insulting remarks Columbia University President Lee Bollinger directed at Ahmadinejad on September 24 in his introductory speech, the Mehr News Agency correspondent in New York reported.

Since the incident, the deans and professors from the faculties of history, anthropology, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, and Islamic studies have criticized Bollinger’s behavior toward Ahmadinejad.

A member of the delegation, who requested anonymity, said the main goal of the visit is to meet the Iranian president and officially apologize to him.

These guys are pathetic. Don’t you just know that Ahmadinejad is loving every minute of this.
