Iran's President Ahmadinejad shows up Columbia University's preoccuption with war and power over Human Rights....

In trying to BULLY and DEMEAN Iranian President Ahmadinejad's appearance at Columbia University, according to "mainstream media" notions and America's PROPAGANDA NARRATIVE that are so prevelent today, Columbia University students and their president instead illustrated AMERICA's "what's in it for us" BIAS.
Columbia University tudents and President Bollinger revealed not only America's PREOCCUPATION with EMPIRE and FOREIGN WARS - America's armies and hired death squads now on TWO BORDERS of Iran - over the HUMAN RIGHTS of Iranians put at risk by the regime there (which brutality has only INCREASED since the two US wars on Iran's borders), but they also demonstrated the STRANGLEHOLD that the Jewish lobby in America (of which AIPAC - the Israel-America Political Action Committee is only the most visible) has on America's foreign policy and national discourse.
Israel is a nation with nuclear weapons, a nuclear stockpile, and NO international weapons inspections. Yet America's Jews, including the "best and brightest" in academia at Columbia and other universities, take it as a god-given right that other nations must bow to international inspections, while Israel ignores them. In his brief appearance at Columbia University, in the heart of the power-base of New York City's Jewish academic, business, and political elite, Iran President Ahmadinejad illustrated to the whole world America's real priorities - and Human Rights are far down the list.
As, for example, the New York academic/political/business elite IGNORING the Arab/Islamist GENOCIDE in South Sudan, from long before 9-11-2001, because Americans considered effort there to be below our economic/political cost-rewards threshold, except for an occasional academic symposium held to denounce the bought-and-paid for rape, pillage, killings, and mass murders.
(Note: unlike the US "Blackhawk Down" debacle in Somalia, in the South Sudan there are millions of African natives willing to defend themselves against the murderous "ethnic cleansing" rape, pillage, and murder raids sponsored by the Khartoum Arab-Islamist regime, if only the South-Sudanese had some support and supplies to counter the Khartoum regime's sponsorship of murderous militias via millions of dollars donated by wealthy Arab oil nations. In a stunning example of American foreign policy ignorance and gross hypocrisy, America has for the past decade given far more respect to the Khartoum regime SPONSORS OF MASS-MURDER TERRORISM, than we have given to the African victims of that terror.
