Bomber Who Killed Mughniyeh Robs Columbia University's Lee Bollinger of Next 'Guest'
The sadness was palpable on the campus of Columbia University on Tuesday, February 12, after word of the death of Hizballah terrorist Imad Mughniyah reached school administrators. Mughniyah, who was suspected in helping blow up the Jewish cultural center in Argentina in the 1990s and of killing hundreds of U.S. marines in Lebanon in the 1980s would have made a perfect speaker for Columbia, which welcomes murderers with massive amounts of blood on their hands.
One senior Columbia University official, speaking on condition that he and his pet camel not be named, said he suspected that no one is more disappointed than Columbia president, Lee C. Bollinger, who last September 24th grabbed world headlines when he welcomed Iranian Dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to campus.
According to Time magazine, Mughniyah carried a $5 million price on his head -- offered by the FBI. But the platform that Columbia University could have provided the terrorist to espouse his evil views would have been worth even more.
Bollinger, himself, is said to be in mourning over the lost publicity opportunity and could not be reached for comment. Bollinger, no doubt, would have claimed that students at Columbia had a First Amendment right to hear directly from Mughniyah and to question the terrorist on his views.
