*Nicholas de Genova, an assistant professor of anthropology and Latina/o studies at Columbia University, made comments denouncing the American military and American patriotism in 2003. After being given negative responses from various people, Genova reiterated his statements, and has even implied he advocated in the name of self-determination having "a million more Mogadishus" regarding the then-recently occurring Iraq War, and has considered Vietnam a "victory for human self-determination," and has also implied that he's for "America" as in the continents, not the actual USA.<ref>De Genova, Nicholas (March 21, 2003).

To the Editor:<br>

''Spectator'', now for the second time in less than a year, has succeeded to quote me in a remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory manner. In Margaret Hunt Gram's report on the faculty teach-in against the war in Iraq (March 27, 2003), I am quoted as wishing for a million Mogadishus but with no indication whatsoever of the perspective that framed that remark. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that your Staff Editorial in the same issue, denouncing the teach-in for "dogmatism," situates me in particular as the premier example of an academic "launching tirades against anything and everything American."<br><br>
