Ahmadinejad at Columbia

If anyone from Columbia University is interested in seeing how Ahmadinejad played them in front of the Islamic world, here's a taste:
Ahmadinejad rose to applause, and after a religious invocation said Bollinger's opening was "an insult to information and the knowledge of the audience here".

He blamed the university president's "unfriendly treatment" on the influence of the US media and politicians ahead of his visit.
"Many parts of his speech were insults," he said. "We actually respect our students and the professors by allowing them to make their own judgments."

Do read the entire thing to get the full effect. Those arrogant Americans!
