Nothing like fearing democracy and academic freedom. It`s amazing how the smart people in charge of security can be so f!ing stupid at times. Just ignore the guy and move on, and nothing comes of it. But no, the geniuses in charge go bananas and the result is that they create a media event that makes us look bad.
The press will ignore the fact that Arabs are free to study at Israeli universities, yet you`re hard pressed to find a single Jew at any Arab university anywhere.
You`d think that Homer Simpson was in charge of the security squad today.
We generally have some pretty bright people in charge of a lot of our security in this country, but sometimes some real yoyos slip through and make us all look like total dorks.
