Lee Bollinger, who has been dubbed the world's rudest host, is now facing backlash on numerous fronts. The Columbia University president's insulting comments to Iranian President Ahmadinejad were such 'fighting words' that you have to wonder if Bollinger is, in fact, a loyal Bushie.
I mean I know Bush diplomacy when I hear it.
A number of Iranian University Chancellors would like to return the hospitality, and so have invited Bollinger to visit Iranian universities. The Iranian academians claim that, unlike Americans, "Iranians are very polite and hospitable toward their guests."
The invitation comes with a list of ten cruel questions meant to counter the ten questions Bollinger posed to the President of Iran. Most of these questions would be better put to the President of the United States, but no one in their right mind thinks that Bush could handle that! Can Bollinger?
Excerpt from An Invitation to Bollinger from Iranian University Chancellors:
We, the professors and heads of universities and research institutions in Tehran , hereby announce our displeasure and protest at your impolite remarks prior to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent speech at Columbia University. . .
Why has the US military failed to find Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden even with all its advanced equipment? How do you justify the old friendship between the Bush and Bin Laden families and their cooperation on oil deals? How can you justify the Bush administration's efforts to disrupt investigations concerning the September 11 attacks?
