My regular readers know that it must be an extreme state of
affairs when I am forced to utter the following:
Today, I am more proud of Canada than I am of the United
States.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/23/canada-boycott-ahmadinejad-unclear-join/
Fox News reports that Canada will be boycotting the speech
to be given at the UN by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Citing
Ahmadinejad’s anti-Semitic views and anti-Israel policy stances, Canada says
that their seats will be empty.
Well, God bless the Canadian delegation on this one. They
have made a bold statement and will not allow the vitriolic sentiments directed
against the only thoroughbred ally of freedom in the Middle Eastern world:
Israel. Canada will stand by her friends.
Not so for the US. Apparently, in addition to the Obama
Administration’s soft-line defense of Israel and willingness to talk to the
Iranian regime, they feel the need to lend credence to Ahmadinejad by sitting
like patient schoolchildren while the dictator rambles on—likely
defending his country’s “right” to pursue nuclear weapons and denying the
Holocaust. Does it really take a Canadian to have the courage to skip class
that day?
America is better than this. Through the years, our truest
allies have consistently been Britain and Israel, and more and more it seems
that the Obama Administration is selling them both up the river in a Chamberlainian
streak of mass appeasement. Rather than tell the new Hitler that he’s a
worthless little scumbag, let’s all grant him everything he wants and,
hopefully, he’ll just settle down. Yeah, because that theory worked so well
before WWII.
Even Germany has vowed to walk out on the Iranian
psychopath… er… president, should he begin to even hint at saying something,
well, in-character.
So the tally is three nations: Israel, Canada, and Germany
who will all stand up and send a powerful message to the international
community. But America will, apparently, continue on its path of apology. This
is a stupid move, Mr. President and Madame Ambassador; defending liberty and
standing for freedom is what our country does. It is never something to be
ashamed of or to hide.

Good job, Mr. President. Stand against one of America’s
best allies. This is a dark day for America; this is the day we stood with
despotism over democracy.
If the current Administration loves liberty, hates tyranny
and is willing to stand up for justice, then Susan Rice and the rest of the US
Delegation will all be fully absent from the rantings of this madman.
