Peace is a Worthy Goal. But So is Wisdom.


Well, we did it again. We allowed Ahamadennejad to set foot on our shores and instead of arresting him, we permitted Hitler Incarnate  to talk about the evil United States and the evil Israel, whom he plans to wipe off the face of the earth in the near future. The rest of us don’t need to worry until the distant future.

 

We are used to allowing such maniacs to address the United Nations, but did he also need to speak at the University of Utah? Did he need to be a guest on Larry King Live, where Larry asked tough questions, such as, “How many children do you have?”  That’s telling him, Larry. Wow! Can King ever play hardball!  Larry also asked him if he would sit down and try to make peace with Israel. Ahammadennejad said, “No.” He could not possibly have said it more plainly or more clearly. Larry looked astonished.  I could have predicted that answer because he’s been saying it plainly and clearly for years. The man is a Jew hating, holocaust denier who plans to go beyond Israel and wipe out the entire western world with nuclear missiles, thus bringing in the age of the 12th Imam.  But many Liberals don’t seem to understand this. In their minds, the concept of evil is as extinct as the inhabitants of the La Brea Tar Pits. Don’t get me wrong. My Liberal friends are well intentioned and sincere. I am generalizing, but for the most part, they figure everyone in the world must want the same thing or at least they will want the same things if they get the same opportunities.  They forget that many of the 9/11 gang came from well to do families and were college educated. They think deep down inside, we all have similar values. The concept of a religion, which seeks to conquer, which is uninterested in Democracy or peace talks, is unthinkable to them. The very notion that a man might just hate Jews because he enjoys hating Jews is as foreign to them as Planet Mars. They simply find it impossible to believe the man will do exactly what he said he would do, that is, they find it impossible, if we would only sit down and reason with him first. I love reason, but it assumes we are talking to somebody reasonable. This is why so many people in the 30’s and 40’s had trouble believing the holocaust was going on, despite the many reports. Coincidently, this Ahitlerdennejad, who brags that he will start his own holocaust, also preaches that the first one never happened! It is a Jewish lie, according to the honored guest of our universities.

 

But  his denial is not much different than other kinds of denials. Even when history is stained with holocausts and genocides, people still deny that evil exists. Sure, wars exist and they are tragic, but they take place because Captain Kirk was unable to get the Federation and the Romulans to sit down and talk to each other. The only time I catch my friends on the Left using the word evil is when they are referring to Bush or perhaps the new “Bush,” Sarah Palin. Why did they dislike Bush? Because he was a cowboy who talked too much about good and evil and everybody knows those ideas are behind the times. In fact, to believe in evil is…well it’s evil!

 

Ahamadennejad isn't evil. Why? Because he smiles a lot and seems friendly. That means two things:

 

1) When he lies and says he does not hate Jews, only Zionists, we should believe him.

 

2) When he tells the truth and says that he plans to destroy Israel and the rest of the world for the sake of Islam, we should not believe him.

 

All because he smiles.

 

Some of my Christian brothers and sisters are also taken in by this reptile. Quaker and Mennonite leaders (both representing pacifist denominations, big surprise) met with Ahamadennejad because “only through talks will we avoid a war.” Inasmuch as their Christian world view admits that sin is our joint heritage as human beings, it is surprising they think that talking to someone will make him stop sinning. Yes, the Bible teaches that sinful humans can have their hearts transformed. But the Bible also speaks of hardened individuals who have become evil and will never turn back. The Bible draws a distinction between evil and sin. Sin is our potential to become possessed by evil. Evil is the possession itself.

 

But whether you are a Christian pacifist or a secular pacifist, let me give the bottom line one more time: THE MAN DOES NOT WANT TO AVOID A WAR! How do you talk somebody out of doing what he wants to do and what he plans to do, out of obedience to the God he believes in?  Is he more afraid of Allah or that guy on the Quaker Oats box?  He keeps telling us he intends to go to war. Yes, evil men lie, but it is also true that if you let them talk long enough, sooner or later they will tell you exactly what they plan to do because they love their evil and love to brag about their evil. The only lies are his justifications, such as Israel’s  “illegal occupation of Palestine.” How many of you realize he does not refer to the West Bank, but rather, all of Israel? How many would keep talking to the man if he actually did destroy Israel? I think my pacifist friends would continue talks, even if Ahamadennejad obliterated every Israeli. They would figure, “Better to talk to him, then have him also obliterate every American.”  I am convinced that is what they would do. If they wish to prove me wrong, then they should cease all conversation with this Hitlarite snake now, because even if he does not succeed in turning Israel into the Grand Canyon, he intends to try. How do I know? I have the audacity to listen to what the man actually says instead of listening to Liberals and peaceniks try to explain to me what he really means or how he will change his mind after they take tea together.

 

Pacifism works only when both parties wish to be pacifists or when the opposing party at least has a conscience. When one party reads a “holy book” that forbids him to be friends with Jews and Christians, I must believe he is not really our friend even when he smiles. I guess the part where he actually admits and explains how he is going to destroy us, also contributes toward my belief.

 

Do you ever watch old footage of Hitler?  You should.  He smiled often.  He even held a little girl in his lap once while the camera rolled. Such a gentle man. Who could believe he was responsible for all those atrocities?  Oh, that’s right. Ahamadennejad says he wasn't responisble. And who could believe Ahammadennejad will be responsible for some future atrocities? Nobody on the Left. They would have to first learn that evil is a real word in the dictionary and that the definition does not say, “See George Bush.”
