Iran's president has called for
the annihilation of millions of people. He is raging and building
Iran into a fully armed nuclear power. He finances and arms
surrogate radical insurgencies in Iraq, Lebanon, and elsewhere. Yet,
he is failing to provide Iran's people with major industry, educate
its children in the arts, literature and science so they may become
doctors, scientists, teachers, and productive labor. He is failing
to provide an infrastructure and purpose for the Iranian people when
they lose all customers for their primary product, oil. |

The president
of Iran and
President George W. Bush both
addressed the UN General Assembly on September 19, 2006. |
|
Speaking at the United Nations,
the president of Iran has less to fear from physical violence and
angry crowds than does President Bush. |
|
President Bush is each day somewhere
in the world, the object of derisive, despicable, unconscionable,
irrational rage. This rage is spat from people who fail to see that
the United States is the only force preventing terrorism, evil, and
destruction from hitting each of their homelands. These enraged
demonstrators fail to realize how fortunate they are that in the
United States of America they may demonstrate their malevolence with
impunity and without arrest. |
|
These enraged anti-American and
anti-Bush demonstrators far out number those
demonstrating rage toward the president of Iran. |
|
These enraged demonstrators must
be angry that Mr. Bush has led the free world in an uphill charge
against fanatical terrorists who want to kill approximately two-thirds of
the world's total population -- those who are non-Muslim. |
|
In his speech, President Bush
should have identified one simple fact. Mr. Bush
has this opportunity while the so-called leaders are sitting and
play-acting civilized, while actually being held captive listening to
speeches before their luncheons, dinner parties, and evening gala
events. |
|
Mr. Bush should have identified the fact
that the president of Iran -- that preacher of death and destruction
-- may come to the United States, and speak, travel, dine and
experience Disneyland in complete safety. |
|
Mr. Bush should identify the fact
that neither he nor most Americans may visit Iran without being
threatened with death. |
|
Certainly no "world leader"
resting in the UN's General Assembly will ask directly or even rhetorically,
"Why must Iran have its own enriched uranium production facility?
Why doesn't Iran build its industry and infrastructure and produce
useful products to sell into the global economy? Why must Iran
import 40% of the gasoline it uses domestically?" |
