I feel chills! I am watching Lee Bollinger, the Columbia University President, speaking about the atrocities conducted within Iran as part of his introduction for the Iranian President. Wow! I cannot wait to hear the response.
Mr. Bollinger actually said, the following...Mr. President, you depict all the signs of a petty dictator. He calls him uneducated, and brazenly provocative. Mr. Bollinger is taking risks. Stating the facts, ugly as they may be, and also using some strong adjectives in reference to the President of Iran.
Mr. Bollinger has a strong closing. He says he doubts the President will have the intellectual courage to respond to his comments. Bollinger is also complimentary of the people of Iran, saying that the President and his fanaticism in no way represents the majority opinion.
This is so exciting! Freedom of speech in action. Oh my gosh!

Amazing speech by Bollinger. Ahmadinejad will remember his appearance at Columbia for a long time.
