the main thing i took away from his speech(the iranian president) was that no matter what he was saying, it always circled back to him-he seems to be the center of his universe; he is an academic, he is interested in further research concerning the Holocaust, he has been insulted.

I don't see how any person of even moderate intelligence can deny the holocaust happened.
But then again, he thinks there are no gays in his country of 63 million.
I think it was good of Columbia to invite him to speak. People like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad need to be exposed for what they are.
It was shocking to me that people who attended actually applauded him. Aside from those crazies, however, I think most of us benefited by seeing what we're up against in the middle east. I bona fide psychopath.
