Well, the UN and Columbia University are entirely different venues.

And the US is abiding by the UN Charter by permitting Ahmadinejad's entry into the US to speak at the UN as a diplomat for Iran.

And, I think there might exist the need for some compromises on the US's part to handle international issues on the world's stage; the UN.
