Iran-US-Columbia University
Member of Parliament (Majlis) Abdolmajid Shoja said on Tuesday that the offensive behavior of Columbia University chancellor towards President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad betrayed the US administration's weakness in facing Iran.

Shoja also told IRNA that all nations worldwide respect their guests, but he (chancellor of Colombia University) insulted the high-ranking Iranian official (president) in a country which claims to be cradle of democracy, culture and civilization.

They had better raise their critics and viewpoints in form of questions, he said, adding that the US academic could have spoken to Ahmadinejad more politely.

He said that the US tries to wage a propaganda campaign to suffocate Iran's voice, adding that Iran is the symbol of rightness in the world, therefore, the US does not want its voice heard by other nations.

Nations around the world will support right words if they hear them, he noted.
