Iran Is Run By A Madman...

Iran President, hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was quoted as saying Israel "must be wiped off the map." Of course, Europe is all upset that their mamby pamby pampering of these Iranian idiots has come to naught and condemned the President's message...

"Calls for violence and for the destruction of any state are manifestly inconsistent with any claim to be a mature and responsible member of the international community," leaders of the 25-nation EU said in a statement today during a meeting at Hampton Court outside London, adding that they were concerned about Iran's "future intentions."

Ahmadinejad's remark yesterday at a conference in Tehran called "A World Without Zionism" came as Islamic Jihad, a militant group with ties to Iran, killed at least five Israelis with a suicide bomb in the Israeli town of Hedera. The EU made reference to that attack in today's statement.

But the EU's position is manifestly idiotic. They have long outsourced the difficult work to the United States, rely on the impotent United Nations and now carry so little political weight around the world, that who would bother to listen to them anyway except American liberal Democrats.

The Iranians were just laughing at the Europeans while they were negotiating with them buying time while they build nuclear weapons. Then we all know what they will do with them? They will threaten Israel, actually attack Israel with one or attack anyone else that tries to get in their way.

These clowns in Iran are telegraphing their intentions to us. The late Leo Strauss warned, a German Jew that left Nazi Germany early on, University of Chicago philosophy professor and father of the centrist neo-con political movement [He is frequently called a fascist himself becausehe abhored liberalism],

According to Drury, Strauss's attitude towards liberal democracy was at the root of this thought. "Strauss abhorred liberal democracy because he associated it with the Weimar Republic whose constitution was drafted at the end of World War I." Many Jewish European expatriates, who, like Strauss, survived World War II, identified American liberal democracy with the Weimar Republic, and the weakness and decadence of Weimar with the rise of Nazism. Strauss persuaded students such as Allan Bloom, Henry Jaffa, Irving Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, and many others of this connection. He convinced them that liberalism was the root of Nazism and therefore abhorrent.

Replace Strausses concern of American liberalism with Europes more potent liberalism and one gets a decadent liberalism that cannot face up to its responsibilities and is ineffective in its international pursuits of self interest. Europe despite its protestations would sooner sell out Israel's independence and the lives of its citizens then defend them against the wicked tyranny that is festering in Iran today.

The United States is the only nation that has the guts to even attempt to contain Iran while Europe dithers about and wonders where they are going to get the money to pay for their next welfare check.
