...Mr. Ahmadinejad has proven himself, time and again, to be uninterested in whether his words are true.  Therefore, my personal opinion is that he should not be invited to speak.  Mr. Ahmadinejad is a reprehensible and dangerous figure who presides over a repressive regime, is responsible for the death of American soldiers, denies the Holocaust, and calls for the destruction of Israel.  It would be deeply regrettable if some misread this invitation as lending prestige or legitimacy to his views.
