Here's another whopper from Kerry who argues here that European participation is the key to stability in Iraq. This man is dangerously dumb. Not only is he oblivious to the fact that many Iraqis who have lost many family members and relatives under Saddam's brutal regime still resent the UN for actually prolonging his stay yet Kerry still wants the UN to have a larger role. Now this man actually thinks that the countries like France, Germany and Russia which tried to keep Saddam Hussein in power can just sashay back into Iraq without any consequences from the Kurds, the Sunnis and the Shiites. Maybe what the Iraqis need to finally get with the program is to see Kerry's 6th Interior Decorating Battalion in action and more American GIs holding hands and expressing the nameless loves that he wants the military to promote? Like I said, this man is dangerously dumb. "The UN left because of the lack of security and stability. The question here is how do you maximize stability and security in Iraq," he said. He conceded, "This is a chicken-ang-egg situation: Which comes first, the European participation or the stablility? And the worse it gets, the harder it gets to get what you need. That's the tragedy of this. That's the tragedy of not having done it upfront, but the fact is that we have to do what we have to do to make it stable." boston.com ....As violence ignited last week, U.N. Special Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi returned to Baghdad. According to John Negroponte, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Brahimi's mission was among "the highest U.S. policy priorities involving the U.N." Perhaps Brahimi is welcome in New York or Kabul, but he is not in Baghdad. How do Iraqis view Brahimi? Kurds express disdain for Brahimi. "All we need is another Arab nationalist," one Kurdish human-rights worker said. "Throughout the Oil-for-Food program, the U.N. seemed more concerned with giving Palestinians jobs than giving Iraqis medicine," a physician in the Kurdish city of Sulaymaniyah said. "As undersecretary of the Arab League between 1984 and 1991, Brahimi stood by as Saddam Hussein conducted an "Arabization" campaign to drive Iraqi Kurds from Kirkuk and surrounding villages. Brahimi did nothing as the Iraqi government dropped chemical weapons on Halabja, killing 5,000 civilians..... nationalreview.com .....Kerry made a point of pushing for homosexuals in the military, using his Vietnam Vet credentials to burnish his case. "What is at stake here is the freedom in this country to be who you are, what you are born as," he testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, according to the Boston Globe. "A country that can defeat Hitler is a country that can deal with people holding hands on a base." spectator.org What is Islam's view of homosexuality? There is no doubt that in Islam homosexuality is considered 'sinful'. Homosexuality as far as Islam is concerned is a profound mistake ( as are all sins if they are not intending to do wrong). Humans are not homosexuals by nature. People become homosexuals because of their environments. Particularly critical is the environment during puberty. Suggestions, ideas & strange dreams are symptoms of confused attempts to understand new and blunt sexual desires and are rashly interpreted as defining someone as being one sexuality or another. If these conclusions are accompanied by actual homosexual acts they are even more strongly reinforced. Human instincts can be subjected to acts of will. Sexuality is a choice of identity which follows choices of action which follow from choices of what to have sexual fantasies about. Human beings are especially able to control their thoughts, entertaining some and dismissing others..... islamic.org.uk
