Observation Post #2
Recently I was reading an article on the Iranian president Ahmadinejads visit to Columbia University. I found it interesting that Ahmadinejad believes that the hollocaust neverhappened and that he wants to whipe out an entire country just because of their beliefs. It also seemed to me that he was only invited to the University to be ridiculed by its students and staff (which is fine by me). With many questions that were asked, he did not answer but instead turned the discussion into somthing to do with religion and quoting the quran. When asked about Iran executing its people just because of the homosexual tendencies he replied saying that "In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country." obviously everyone laughed as he repeated his statment. This in my eyes is someone who is so blinded by their own beliefs that they can not see what right in front of them. I also dont see how someone who is as educated as he is can truly believe that the holocaust never happened and that there are no homosexuals in his country.

I don’t know if he is really blinded or just too arrogant to be honest. Think about it, there are many people who still stand by the fact that we did not come to America and have our own holocaust of the Native Americans, however this too happened. People sometimes too caught up in their own beliefs and thoughts to open their eyes and realize that they may not always be right. I’ve known a lot of people who will deny cold hard facts because that’s just what they choose to believe.
