Remember, he's President I'm-in-a-jihad

He's coming to New York.

I can't believe it.

Six years into our "war on terrorism," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a strategic ally of al-Qaida, is flying into New York to speak at the United Nations.

Much of the controversy over this trip has focused on whether his request to visit Ground Zero should be honored. That, to me, is a distraction from the real issue – should he be allowed to visit New York under any circumstances, and, if he is, what should be done with him when he arrives.

My preference would be to let him come, then have he and his entire entourage handcuffed and frog-marched into custody after which they would be transported to Gitmo as enemy combatants. But that's just me.

Let's look at this rationally.

    * Iran is undeniably a strategic ally of al-Qaida. Even if it weren't, it shares Osama bin Laden's objectives of destroying both Israel and the United States by any means necessary.

    * Ahmadinejad is the personification of this anti-American and anti-Semitic policy of hatred and violence.

    * The Iranian president will not be coming alone. He will be accompanied by Iranian intelligence agents whose goal will be to seek out American security vulnerabilities.

    * They will be flying over New York, the site of an air attack just six years ago, looking out the windows and taking notes.

    * They will be traveling, presumably without blindfolds, through New York City and surrounding areas, observing bridges and tunnels and other strategic terrorist targets.

    * Iran commands a terrorist organization bigger in manpower and resources than al-Qaida. It is called Hezbollah. It has attacked targets all over the world.

    * Ahmadinejad himself is not your run-of-the-mill head of government. He has been a secretive operative for the Iranian regime dating back to the takeover of the U.S. Embassy through a period when he was suspected of personal involvement in foreign assassinations.

    * He will use his visit to the United Nations and his chats with international reporters to further his objectives of worldwide jihad against the U.S.

    * His country is currently killing U.S. troops in Iraq with proxy terrorists, bombs and weaponry.

    * His country is currently killing civilians in Iraq and undermining our efforts at bringing freedom and stability to that part of the world.

    * His country has been testing missile technology designed only to create massive electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks on targets that might very well include the United States – attacks that potentially could kill millions and reduce our nation to a second-rate power overnight.

What am I missing here?

Why are we permitting this?

Why have we permitted it in the past?

Aren't we currently making contingency plans to attack Iran's nuclear installations for fear of what they portend for the future?

This guy is the leader of Iran. He's a terrorist. He is the chief executive of a terrorist nation – probably the leading terrorist nation in the world today.

What kind of a war is this, anyway?

Every day, ordinary, loyal, taxpaying Americans are practically strip-searched in our own airports to make sure they're not terrorists. But next week, we allow one of the world's best-known terrorists to fly into our largest city – and he probably won't even be forced to remove his shoes for inspection!

I don't get it.

It's insanity.

It's a double standard big enough to drive a truck bomb through.

Remember who we're dealing with here – it's President I'm-in-a-jihad. That's his name. That's his modus operandi. That's who he is. That's who he will always be until we deal with him.

I don't want to bomb and kill innocent Iranians in a war looking more and more like it's inevitable.

But I do want to eliminate their evil leaders who keep the Iranian people captive and threaten the civilized world with their twisted evil ideology, money, power and weaponry.

Instead, we treat them like privileged princes with full diplomatic immunity.

Is this any way to run a war?

Colombia University students protest Ahmadinejad visit 
'He is a known state sponsor of terrorism and he has many human rights violations'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is traveling to New York to address the United Nations' General Assembly this week and his trip has already run into controversy.

President Ahmadinejad's request to visit Ground Zero was denied by the New York Police Department and now his scheduled address to Columbia University students and faculty as part of the school's World Leaders Forum on Monday has created a furore on campus.

A law student Aviva Robbin is one of nearly a 100 students who have united on Facebook and have planned to protest against Ahmadinejad speaking on their campus.

''While we do value academic debate and freedom of speech we do not feel that it would be a violation of these values not to have the President of Iran on our campus. He is a known state sponsor of terrorism and he has many human rights violations on his record and by having him here it seems as if Columbia is legitimising what he has to say and endorsing his views in the public opinion,'' said Aviva Robin.

Nuclear concerns

Columbia President President Lee Bollinger has justified the invitation saying the university is a place of learning. In a statement Bollinger said, ''Columbia, as a community dedicated to learning and scholarship, is committed to confronting ideas''.

According to the University, a Q&A session with Ahmadinejad will address concerns about Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities and challenge Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust and his calls for the destruction of Israel.

The President of Iran, which the US government calls a state sponsor of terror, was also scheduled to speak at Columbia last year but the university dropped the plan citing security and logistical problems.

''Last year the President of Iran was invited by the School of International Public Affairs. This year he has a different invitation from the World Leaders Forum and there are leaders who come here from countries all over the world and that gives students a place to hear interesting global leaders here,'' said Prof Sree Sreenivasan, Columbia School of Journalism.

''No speaker is without controversy. Our role as professors is to bring opportunities for our students to meet dynamic, compelling, off-putting people but if they are influential then we have an obligation to give our students a chance to listen to them,'' he added.

Freedom of speech and expression is one of the cornerstones of the constitution of the United States of America.

But the controversy over the invitation to the President of Iran to address the students at one of the most prestigious Institutes of higher education in the country has yet again underscored the challenges faced in transferring that thought into action.

People in this nation have gone completely crazy. These actions do nothing but encourage these quacks to continue in their objectives to either destroy or rule the entire world.

Columbia Dean: Of Course We Would Invite Hitler

Obviously trying to make the ACLU proud as a beacon of free speech, the Dean of Columbia University that will be hosting a speech from Iranian dictator Ahmadinejad tells us who else they would host if possible. Wow! Hitler!

Wow! This University actual DID invite Hitler!
