Ah yes, great noble bollinger defies petty dictator like he should.

In contrast, earlier yesterday President Bollinger introduced the President of Turkmenistan, also an autocrat with a dismal human rights record (see one of the worst ever in central asia), with a tone of cordiality expected in a forum with a head of state. Why the difference between the two?

why then do you think mr bolinger acted the way he did. could it be because..

1. of the massive media attention present at the second forum inspired Bollinger’s belligerence?
2. in the end, Bollinger cowed to the very political pressure he has claimed all week that he was defending free speech against?
3. of the fact that Columbia with the help of exxonmobile, was able to invest 3 million in turkmenistan, with the blessing of the current turkmen president.
   Plus last year bolinger not only invited but defended hand in hand the stance of the leader of minutemen. A pretty wacky organization with beliefs ranging from shooting people who cross the border illegally to expelling all immigrants with even a parking ticket problem.

It is also curious to note that a talk by a real nut, and a worse dictator did not meet Bollinger’s standards of discourse, but somehow it did for ahmedinajad.
