SO if I formed a committee of a couple dozen church bishops and they ruled out Kerry, Hillary, Allen, McCain, Gore, Liddy, and every other national figure and left a terrorist (say Ted Kazinski) the most visible candidate remaining, would you call the results of a national election honest? Do you judge the Iranian terrorist President as duly elected? I don't. Hamas was elected in the muslim territories of Israel, and President Bush refused to meet with them or provide them any direct aid while they maintain their stance on the destruction of Israel. I do not question their right to rule, nor how it came to pass. Do you think that Fattah is better? Until the Israeli muslims stop wasting their time with hatred and choose to advance themselves there is little hope for them. "The trouble with President Bush is that he somehow thinks that Democracy is somehow correlated with love of the U.S." The era of accepting tyranny from our "allies" is over. We have to hole the whole world to higher humanitarian standards to show our respect for every living person. While I am not sure I like the alternative, supporting Mushariff is not helping our internalized ethical struggle. "I seriously disagree that Iran would just lay back and accept it if we hit their facilities. I think it would give us a 3rd front in our constantly expanding war on terror." Iran is the primary state sponsor for terror. Removing that source would cripple world terrorists ability to procure weapons and training.

Tuesday, September 19, 2006 Ahmadinejad at the United Nations: Praying to God for the Return of the Twelfth Imam Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 8:18 PM Chilling. He asserted that the US was behind the Hezbollah-Israel War, repeatedly attacked the legitimacy of the State of Israel, and made a lengthy attack on the legitimacy of the Security Council. "Is it appropriate to expect this generation to submit to[to the Security Council]?" he asked, and demanded the General Assembly take on the reform of the UN and equip others with the veto power. He closed with a disturbing heartfelt appeal/prayer, which is a warning to the West: "I am emphatically declare that today's world more than ever before longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity, and above all longs for the perfect, righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet. [The Twelfth Imam] Oh Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation. Bestow upon humanity that thirst for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers among those who strive for his return and his cause." Ahmadinejad is setting up Iran to defy the Security Council, and is establishing a precedent for all future rogue regimes. If the Security Council does not rebuke this challenge and impose sanctions, the organization, teetering on the brink of irrelevance, will fall over that cliff. townhall.com
