NEW YORK (AP) -- A Columbia University professor told an anti-war gathering that he would like to see ``a million Mogadishus'' -- referring to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that killed 18 American servicemen.
At Wednesday night's ``teach-in'' on the Columbia campus, Nicholas De Genova also called for the defeat of U. S. forces in Iraq and said, ``The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U. S. military. '' And he asserted that Americans who call themselves ``patriots'' are white supremacists.
De Genova's comments about defeating the United States in Iraq were cheered by the crowd of 3,000, Newsday reported. But his mention of the Somali ambush -- ``I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus'' -- was largely met with silence.
A call Friday to De Genova, 35, an assistant professor of anthropology, was answered with a recording that said his voice mailbox was full.
Columbia spokesman Joe Kennedy said the university was preparing a statement about the event.
History professor Eric Foner, who helped organize the teach-in and spoke after De Genova, said Friday, ``I disagreed strongly and I said so. If I had known what he was going to say I would have been reluctant to have him speak. ''
He said De Genova was a last-minute invitee, was just one of about 25 speakers and ``did not represent the general tone of the event, which was highly educational. ''

I think we'd all be happy if he never surfaced again.
