Ahmadinejad invites Bush to give speech
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad invited President Bush to speak at an Iranian university if the American leader ever traveled to the Islamic Republic, state-run television reported.
When Ahmadinejad spoke this week at Columbia University in New York, he faced tough questions, and the university president who introduced him said Ahmadinejad exhibited “all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator.”
Ahmadinejad complained that President Lee C. Bollinger’s speech contained “many insults” and amounted to “unfriendly treatment.”
