For those of you who can’t watch video clips from work, a student asked about the treatment of gays in Iran — as a rule, they’re executed — and Ahmadinejad responded, “In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals like in your country.”
Did you notice the crowd’s reaction? The students were laughing at him. Ahmadinejad became the subject of mockery and ridicule, simply by showing up and stating his ridiculous beliefs.
It’s exactly why Columbia was right to extend the invitation. What better way to make a fool of Ahmadinejad than to offer him a microphone?
Exactly.
