Wow, perhaps we were misreading
Bollinger: Columbia University president Lee Bollinger took Iran's president to
task Monday, bluntly criticizing his record and saying he exhibits "the
signs of a petty and cruel dictator." Bollinger told the president:
"Today I feel the weight of all the civilized world yearning to express
the revulsion at what you stand for."
Those are fighting words I would expect out of a Christopher Hitchens or Robert Spencer, but a university president? And to say those things right as you are introducing Ahmadinejad shows major guts.
