Specifically about the fuss everyone made about his visit to Columbia…
Since when do we believe that ignoring the problem leads to the solution… I for one think that it is great that he was given the opportunity to speak- Remember the saying, Know thy enemy?? People with whom we disagree still have valid points on certain topics… we should be doing a better job of listening!
Has the world really bought Bush’s ridiculous philosophy of foreign policy?? See no evil, hear no evil??? Good grief people… we should listed to everybody- it doesn’t mean we have to agree with them!

Columbia gets too much credit as a patron of free speech.
About a year ago representatives of the minutemen came to columbia to talk about illegal immigration and were assaulted. There’s video of the crime but the university has done nothing to bring the perps to justice (to my knowledge) nor have they invited the minutemen back for a fair hearing of their ideas.
It seems that mr. jihad got a more civil hearing because:
A) His opponents are more civil.
B) He has a considerable number of sympathizers and supporters at the school.
