As a follow up to my last blog:
Columbia University has invited Iranian President Ahmadinejad to speak at a Q&A session. This of course has some people calling for its cancellation.
White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto said Friday that the Bush administration had no involvement with Columbia’s decision.
“This is a country where people can come and speak their minds,” he said, adding, “It would be wonderful if some of the countries that take advantage of that here allowed it for their own citizens there.”
When they aren't being tazered and pulled kicking and screaming from their places of learning. I don't think there's much difference between us and them.

Oh please. I think you are being too dramatic. It wasn't like it was President Bush's fault the guy was tasered.
Let's be honest here, free speech isn't real. If you go against with who ever is in power you're going to get tazered. Since 9/11 we've been living in hysteria, suspicious of everyone and everything... The "terrorists" have won. I can't take more than 3oz of liquid on a plane!
Living in fear isn't safety.
Are you admitting your scaredy cat?
