UANI Issues Statement
Regarding Columbia
University Ahmadinejad Dinner
New
York, NY - United Against Nuclear
Iran (UANI) released the
following statement Tuesday regarding the previously planned dinner with
Columbia students and Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Said UANI
Executive Director, David Ibsen:
UANI is pleased that Columbia
students and faculty have apparently decided against meeting with
Ahmadinejad
this year. Columbia was widely criticized four years ago for its
irresponsible
decision to host Ahmadinejad, and as UANI and other groups argued,
repeating
that mistake again would have greatly damaged Columbia's reputation.
Ahmadinejad leads a criminal regime that funds and harbors al-Qaeda. No
responsible American institution should want anything to do with him or
his
entourage.
