A M edical Laser
when confronting Hezbollah last July.
Backed by Syria and Iran, the fight was
another example of the axis of evil chal-
lenging the West.
Concerning Syria: Syria is trying to
play the middle in the war on terror. The
regime makes noises that it opposes
terrorism, but supports Hezbollah and
lets terrorists sneak across its borders
with Iraq. The only answer now is more
diplomatic and economic pressure.

Setting An Example
Universities are uniquely positioned
to shape public attitudes. As the pil-
lars of America's educational system,
they are looked upon as exemplars
for our society. But what example did
they set in the 1930s, by hosting offi-
cials of the Hitler regime and expel-
ling a student for leading an anti-
Nazi rally? What message do they
send today by welcoming leaders of
a regime that sponsors international
terrorism and threatens to annihilate
6 million Israeli Jews?
As it happened, Ahmadinejad did
not speak at Columbia, but for the
wrong reason. He was originally
invited by the dean of Columbia's
School of International and Public
Affairs, Lisa Anderson, to speak
as part of the university's "World
Leaders Forum!' Following protests,
the university's president, former
University of Michigan President
Lee Bollinger, told Anderson that
Ahmadinejad should speak at the
School of International Affairs itself
rather than at the university-wide
forum.
Answering
Israel's
Critics
The Charge:
Individuals testifying before a
University of Michigan-Dearborn
student assembly meeting last
month complained that Israel's
military operations in Lebanon
this past July and August included
instances of mental and physical
torture.
The Answer:
While war is a traumatic event,
Israel's army abides by both a
moral and legal code, and operates
within the international conven-
tions on warfare. Torture has been
declared illegal, and Israel's courts
have upheld that standard.

Anderson, for her part, said the
logistical and security requirements
for the visit were too complicated to
resolve on short notice. Unfortunately,
neither Bollinger nor Anderson
acknowledged any moral problem
with inviting the Iranian president.
Burke is the person who should
be embraced by Columbia, not
Ahmadinejad. Even at this late
date, an honorary degree for Burke
would constitute an appropriate
replacement for the Iranian leader's
speech and a powerful expression
of Columbia's opposition to fascist
tyrants and their supporters. __11
