Los Angeles, Alta California - September 29, 2007 - (ACN) The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran has returned as a hero to Tehran after visiting the "Lion's Den" in New York City. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also visited his two friends, President Evo Morales in Bolivia and President Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The flight to South America took place soon after his speech before the United Nations General Assembly.

President Ahmadinejad said at a press conference held in Tehran on Friday that Columbia University lost its reputation after obediently moving to protect Israel's interests. The elected leader of Iran said that what occurred during his trip underlined two important facts; it revealed the righteousness of the Iranian nation, and the degree of the enemies' hostility towards Iran. The president added that Iran's enemies were pursuing two goals concerning his visit to Columbia University: they wanted to force the university to cancel his speech or for the university to stage a "false court" to undermine Iran's reputation, but they failed.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rudely received by the president of Columbia University Lee Bollinger after he had extended an invitation for the Iranian president to speak at a university World Leaders Forum. Bollinger was crass and vulgar towards President Ahmadinejad in his introduction. The utter lack of decorum exhibited by Bollinger also contributed greatly to the university's loss of reputation. Bollinger's lack of respect towards the Iranian president was witnessed by thousands of his students and presented an ugly example of vulgar behavior.

Bollinger accused President Ahmadinejad, among others things, of being a "petty and cruel dictator" when in fact the Iranian president was elected through a democratic vote monitored by international observers that included US President Jimmy Carter.

Bollinger also accused President Ahmadinejad of clamping down on the immoral behavior of women and on the activities of sodomites. This is totally hypocritical. A mark of a hypocrite is that they accuse others of bad behavior when they themselves are guilty of worse. This is true of Bollinger in his dealings with the Black community of West Harlem.

West Harlem is a community just north of Columbia University and is a center of Black history and culture. It has been the epicenter of African-American arts and culture for more than a century but Bollinger is clamping down and has ruthlessly moved to displaced the established families who reside there through chicanery and the help of Zionist real estate developers. Through so called "eminent domain practices", Bollinger has thrown Black families into the streets by gobbling up real estate to build "dormitories" for rich students that attend Columbia University. Bollinger is now an "ogre" within the Black community of New York and rightfully so.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is correct to say that Columbia University has lost its prestige. Can anyone reverse this? Probably only its students can. It might be time for the students to rise up and take the necessary actions that will save their university! The students might even save the country and even the world in the process.
