An Article Worth Reading

Here is a brilliant article about Ahmadinejad's visit. Caroline Glick says,

During his visit to New York this week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacked every basic assumption upon which Western civilization is predicated…Refusing to note his existential challenge to the Free World, the Western media concentrated their coverage of his trip on his statements regarding specific Western policy goals…In spite of what the West would like to believe, Ahmadinejad and his allies from Ramallah to Waziristan, from Gaza to Kandahar to Baghdad, are not negotiating. They are fighting. Rather than ignore them or seek to find nonexistent common ground, we must defeat them - first and foremost on the battleground of ideas.

I found this article via Ron Rosenbaum. Ron said that what would stay with him about Ahmadinejad's visit to Columbia was the applause he heard at the conclusion of the event.
