some things just don't make any sense. unless Khatemi defects and condemns terrorism, condemns Muslim extremism, even the actions of his own government, then I just don't understand having him speak here and now.
The timing is more than objectionable and indicates to me: the one thing Harvard and everyone in academia fears more than another Republican in office--the fear of becoming irrelevant.
In some ways, they already are and have been for some time. It is clear that this kind of political grandstanding in the name of "intellectual discourse" is a desperate plea for attention.
what would be better: have Khatemi and Netanyahu (former Prime Minister of Israel) dialogue on ethics and tolerance in Muslim-Jewish relations. Now that would be educational and actually serve the lofty purpose that they claim to be pursuing.
I would love to ask a Jewish Harvard student with a government/political science major what they're thinking about all this.
Hopefully Khatemi's motorcade will go past the Boston Holocaust memorial on his way from Logan to Cambridge.
Marc, speaking of events coordinated with the 5th anniversary of 9/11, what do you think of CNN's real time coverage of the events as they happened on that day?

Also, any comments on the famed Crocodile Hunter since it seems like it's all I've been seeing on the news this past week?
I just wrote a big reply and had it disappear! How frustrating is that?!
OK -- the summary -- probably preferable to the first one anyway.
I was glad they reaired the 9/11/01 broadcast. I watched about an hour and half on MSNBC -- from 9:15 until just after the towers fell.
It was a choice and I was glad to have the option. I think it's worth remembering what it felt like on that day. I don't think I noticed at the time how shocked the broadcasters sounded. Not devastated -- genuinely shocked. I had forgotten some of the order of events of how it played out-- information coming in about the Pentagon, etc.
My friend and neighbor didn't want to watch. She recalled having nightmares for weeks after the attack and she was no where near there. She didn't want to relive it.
I was glad that cable offered my the option to watch, someone else can chose to do something else -- play with their kids, go shopping, pay bills, read blogs, whatever.
I wanted to see it again and feel whatever I would feel five years later.
