Laughing Stock

The Unserious are at it again, with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad set to appear at Columbia University. The school states that this is another example of "Columbia's long-standing tradition of serving as a major forum for robust debate."

Ahmadinejad isn't coming to NY specifically to visit Columbia. He's all set to go to the UN and speak his mind to the UN General Assembly. It will be another chance for him to laugh himself silly, too. He can sponsor state terror, sanction the execution of homosexuals for the crime of being gay, be a Holocaust denier, and say that Israel should be wiped off the map, then visit NY and ask to lay a wreath at the site of the World Trade Center. Denied that visit, he took up Columbia on the offer to swing by and spew more vitriol to a crowd of fascist worshipping students and faculty.

It's no wonder that the mad bomber-types have a problem taking the West seriously. From their point of view, we must be the biggest bunch of suckers since Neville Chamberlain. Ahmadinejad would like nothing better than to watch the United States go up in smoke. He was a member of the 'students' that held Americans hostage in 1979, and he learned early on that the West can be pushed around without too much trouble.

Picture how stupid we look, the West in general and the United States in particular. Canada and the US have been arguing themselves silly about legalizing gay marriage, yet Iran stages public executions for gays. To show our outrage for these heinous acts, he's flown to NY to speak on the world stage, then invited to a pretty little college campus.

Imagine the conversations Ahmadinejad and his thugs must have in the back seat of the limo.

"Good speech, boss. A very 'robust' debate."
"Yes, useful morons. And did you see the robust hooters on that sophomore in the front row?"
Hardee-har-har.

Trouble is, no matter how much I despise everything this man stands for, I can't blame him for laughing.

At us.
