On How We Insult Our Guests

When you invite someone to be your guest, are you going to insult them when they come, especially if they come for the first time, never having visited you before? I am talking about the president of Columbia University. As I am sure some of you have heard, the Iranian president, our mortal enemy, made a visit to America a couple of days ago. He is here to speak at the UN, however, he was invited by the Columbian University to come and come and do a Q & A session. Columbia got a lot of heat from the press and from all sorts of people, denouncing their decision to have such a tyrant and our worst enemy to come and be treated with such honor as doing a Q & A at Columbia. We can’t treat tyrants with such honor. But we did invite him, and he did accept and he did come. Having already arrived at such as step, was it really necessary to insult the man in our own country, on our turf? Aren’t there more appropriate times and places to protest and denounce this terrible man? Please, do not misunderstand me, I am not a fan of Ahmadinejhad. Not even close. Just like most people, I too realize the man is an idiot, the man is ignorant, the man is a tyrant, and the man is probably dangerous. However, this is not the point. The point is, Columbia University, offered an invitation to him, to come and do a Q & A session, during which anybody could ask anything, there was no script, and Ahmadinejhad agreed to this, (I mean if nothing else, the man has courage, to walk into a lions den like that, takes courage) was insulting him in the introduction really necessary or appropriate? Some people say that to invite someone into your home and then disrespect them is the ultimate low; you don’t do that even to your enemy. In the middle ages when two countries would go to war, when you invited your enemy to come into your camp for negotiations or whatever, it was understand by all, that the other would be treated with respect. Well what kind of an example are we setting to the world when we invite a nation’s president to come and answer questions and we can’t even introduce him without insulting him? Why not just stab him in the heart then? Here you go you piece of shit, we hate you and now you going to die! I mean, why stop with the insults? The president of Columbia was the host and he insulted his guest, literally calling him, among other things, a "cruel and petty dictator" as well as “astonishingly uneducated." All true, but still, was it necessary, was it appropriate for the setting in which it happened? I do not think it was, I think the Columbia president should be ashamed, he made our country look bad, and even their country would have treated our President Bush (who actually is a retard) with more respect had he came to do a Q & A session at Tehran University, even though they hate Bush just as much as we hate Ahmadinejhad. I say this because I know Middle east culture, and in the Middle East you treat your guest with the greatest respect and hospitality, even if they are your enemy. Once again, I think inviting Ahmadinejhad to speak at Columbia was a big mistake, but insulting him was an even bigger mistake, and once again we have shown the world that we are no better then anyone else and not the moral beacon of the world that we always seem to think we are.
