I disagree. It is a very appropriate topic. He was brought in for who he is and what he's done, name writing book about war.
Would it have been OK with those who were upset if he'd been pro war? Your damn right it would have been.
It is an academic institution. It should be the home of critical thinking and therefore open to different opinions.
