Yeah Mark, but it backfired on him. He got a serious tounge-lashing from the Columbia (chancellor or whatever his title is) guy and then, again, got soundly booed and laughed at. But, his unedited remarks and the crowd reaction (outrage and laughter) won't make it onto Al-Jazeera news and that is what makes American freedom of speech (and of the press and of religious belief and freedom FROM religion and persecution) better than Iranian supression and punishment for expressing one's beliefs and opinions. Lastly, the Iranian-on-the-street over there is far more supportive of Western progressiveness and Western culture than the mullahs and Mr. Achmajenadork---whatever the hell his name is---is.

It's either our free system, with all its warts and problems, or it's the f**kin' Taliban.
