Mitt Romney Fights Terrorism, One Unprotected Harvard Lecture At a Time
If you want to feed the former president of Iran a good ol’ knuckle sandwich when he comes to speak at Harvard next week, Mitt Romney ain’t gonna stop you.
Romney, the Republican governor who wants to be president when he grows up, won’t be providing state security to protect Mohammad Khatami during his visit on Monday, Sept. 11. Romney doesn’t want tax dollars being spent on protecting a “terrorist,” he said. Wise man. Not only is he not letting the terrorists win, he’s letting our terrorists win instead! With knuckle sandwiches!
Never mind that Khatami ran as a reform candidate and fought, albeit unsuccessfully, to curb the power of Iran’s Gaurdian Council and expand press freedoms. Is it possible Romney was thinking of someone else? Mohammad, Mahmoud — what’s the difference, right Mitt?
Afterthought: Why a lecture? If Harvard knew its audience, they’d stage a steel cage match between Prof. Samuel P. “Clash of Civilizations” Huntington and Mohammad “Dialogue Among Civilizations” Khatami. We’re betting on the guy with the centrifuges.
