As the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks draws near, Harvard University has decided to mark the occasion by hosting Mohammed Khatami, the former president of Iran – a nation that’s engaged in a terrorist war against the United States.
Khatami agreed to speak on September 10 at the university’s John F. Kennedy School of Government on, of all things, "Ethics of Tolerance in the Age of Violence.”
As the New York Sun points out in an editorial, the title of the address "insults the intelligence of all those who would attend".
"What in the world is a man who presided over the July 9, 1999, crackdown on Tehran University, where hundreds of students were arrested and tortured, doing speaking about ‘tolerance’ at a university?” GOOD QUESTION!
