YOU AIN'T GONNA BELEIVE THIS! Columbia teacher calls for `a million Mogadishus;' referring to 1993 ambush of U.S. servicemen Associated Press ^ \| 3-28-03 Posted on 03/28/2003 12:46 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer NEW YORK (AP) -- A Columbia University professor told an anti-war gathering that he would like to see "a million Mogadishus" -- referring to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that killed 18 American servicemen. At Wednesday night's "teach-in" on the Columbia campus, Nicholas De Genova also called for the defeat of U.S. forces in Iraq and said, "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military." And he asserted that Americans who call themselves "patriots" are white supremacists. De Genova's comments about defeating the United States in Iraq were cheered by the crowd of 3,000, Newsday reported. But his mention of the Somali ambush -- "I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus" -- was largely met with silence. A call Friday to De Genova, 35, an assistant professor of anthropology, was answered with a recording that said his voice mailbox was full. Columbia spokesman Joe Kennedy said the university was preparing a statement about the event. History professor Eric Foner, who helped organize the teach-in and spoke after De Genova, said Friday, "I disagreed strongly and I said so. If I had known what he was going to say I would have been reluctant to have him speak." He said De Genova was a last-minute invitee, was just one of about 25 speakers and "did not represent the general tone of the event, which was highly educational."
