Report: Group Of Columbia University Students To Dine With Iranian President

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A group of Columbia University students are expected to have dinner with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next week in Midtown.

According to the Columbia Spectator, the school’s newspaper, as many as 15 members of the Columbia International Relations Council and Association were invited.

CIRCA vice president of academics, Tim Chan, told the paper the Sept. 21 meeting is still tentative and none of the members expressed any reservations about breaking bread with the controversial Iranian leader.

Should these students break bread with the man who has been compared to Hitler and has expressed a desire for the destruction of Israel and much of the western world?  We’ll talk about it on Newstalk 720 KDWN this morning at 10am. – Alan Stock
