Columbia University: Supporters of terrorism and genocide welcome, but not the ROTC. There is something wrong with this picture. From FoxNews:

Columbia University said it would welcome any notable figure visiting the United States - even Adolf Hitler himself - to speak to students and faculty at the Ivy League college.

But there are those who question what the New York college's standards are. They ask why a school that will not allow an ROTC program to be part of its curriculum would allow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, one of America's avowed enemies, onto its campus.

Ahmadinejad has routinely called for the annihilation of Israel, and it is Iran that has supported, along with Syria, Hezbollah and other armed terrorist groups operating in the Palestine Authoity. It is also Iran that has been supplying arms, munitions, training, personnel and money to al-Qaeda in Iraq and other sectarian militant factions operating to destabilize efforts to establish democracy in Iraq.

Columbia has also made it clear that if this were 1940 they would welcome Hitler, the man who originated the annihilation of the Jews and brought the world the Holocaust. Hitler was directly responsible for the murder of millions of people for no greater crime than their religious beliefs.

I suppose that Columbia would also welcome with open arms Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and a host of other mass murderers.

Critics wonder why the leader of a nation that exports terrorism is allowed to speak, but the leader of an American organization that seeks to secure U.S. borders was not.

I guess the answer is simple: Like nearly all universities in America, it is controlled by the hate-America, hate-Bush crowd of leftists. They love America's enemies regardless of how many people they have helped to murder. The leader to secure borders referenced was the leader of the Minutemen who is pushing to secure our nation's borders to reduce the influx of illegal aliens.

However, for me, it's the not allowing ROTC programs on campus that gets my goat.

Whether or not Ahmadinejad should be allowed to speak is something open to debate. As he is the leader of a nation that committed an act of war against the United States, and he was directly involved in that act, as well as the fact that Iran is carrying out covert (and occasionally overt) acts of war against our allies in the Middle East, I don't think he should be allowed such platforms.

Although it is true that the U.N. treaty forces the U.S. to not deny access to any world leader, regardless of how repugnant that "leader" is, is just one more reason to say that the U.N. has outlived its usefulness.

As for Ahmadinejad, I am with the protestors: Iwannajihad Ahmadinejad Go Home!
