That's pretty ridiculous.
My alma mater, one of the best schools in the nation, does, in fact, tolerate all viewpoints. We've had all kinds up there, including a leading white supremacist who graduated from there.

I have to echo Matie. None could be more self serving nor crazy!

I don't see any harm in his appearance if it is for a purely academic purpose.

This is just the last straw! Insanity. The enemy is invited to sit at dinner with you.

What might have been excusable in '33 is really not excusable now. In '33 the 'Final Solution' wasn't neccessarily foreseeable. But the Iranian president has declared quite openly that 'Israel should be wipped off the map'...

Well, if they invite Osama, I hope he comes. There'll be folks waiting.
I think what surprised me the most about this whole mess - he wanted to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site. I was struck by his arrogant numbnut failure to see what an insult that would be. I hope he gets in and out of here in one piece, we don't need the extra aggravation from the fallout that's sure to happen if he is jammed.
