Ahmadinejad’s Message Unwelcome (Rep. Ron Klein)

I strongly condemn Columbia University’s decision to give Iranian President Ahmadinejad a forum in which to spread his message of hate and violence. With our troops serving in Iraq, fighting insurgents that are armed and funded by Ahmadinejad’s government, the timing is all wrong. Until Ahmadinejad stops flouting international will – until he stops pursuing his dangerous nuclear program and funding global terrorism – he should be persona non-grata.
