Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad responded to a scolding by Columbia University's president Monday by objecting to the manner in which he was introduced.
After sitting through the blistering introduction by Lee Bollinger — in which he was lambasted for calling for the annihilation of Israel, denying the Holocaust and supporting the execution of children — Ahmadinejad said it had been an "insult."

His speech also touches on several themes that trouble many in the US like domestic spying.

For all of you homophobics out there you can all move to Iran there is no gays in that country.
On the serious side, he was ask if he was calling for the destruction of Israel and he went on ignoring the question and just gave the same propaganda that they feed to their people. Gladly Mr. Bollinger took him to task and ask him again to answer the question and he decline and went on and do some more rambling. Whoever try to spin this is just nuts. Here he had a chance to express clearly that he is not calling for the destruction of Israel as a state and he did not answer.

Please don't try to spin it, he was ask the question that many people here on ATS refers to as been misinterpreted. He did say he don't hate Jews I give him that. But he was ask if he calls for the destruction of Israel as a state and he decline to answer plain and simple. There is no spining in that.
He had the chance he had the forum to give a clear and sound answer and he fail miserably.
