Saying No and using the example if iranian state TV is silly...what else would you expect of them. You still don't get it, do you? I expected nothing else of them. That's why I opposed letting Ahmedinijad speak at Columbia in the first place. Precisely because it was going to make such good Iranian propaganda. Good propaganda sways its intended audience, which is in Iran and the Muslim world. I have no serious fear that Ahmedinijad will suddenly get lots of credibility in America, except maybe in the BDS suffering netroots. Its the boost he will get at home (and the corresponding loss of morale to dissidents) that concerns me. Well maybe I take that back. Considering the swill that the SIA dishes out to its students, maybe I should worry about Ahmedinijad's sounding credible to too many young students. Reports said about 1/3 of the room seemed to support him.
