Stupid Wisdom

Ahmadinejad will speak at Columbia University

So what? If people don’t want to hear what he has to say then just don’t listen. I don’t see why it is such a big deal. I also don’t see the harm in his wanting to “pay his respects” at ground zero. We are giving him just what he wants by refusing to allow him to place a wreath. Now that being said he probably is evil and doesn’t have good intentions. But by attempting to limit him or censor when & where he can speak he only gains support. We will once again be viewed as the bad guy. He would benefit less if we didn’t keep re-enforcing his supporters hatred towards the US. A little reverse psychology would go a long way towards eliminating the intense hatred many in the middle east feel towards the west. The “cowboy” approach only adds fuel to the fire. The biig guns might win a battle but will never truly win over hearts and minds.
