A Charm Offensive
Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is proud that his country's stalwarts in Hamas and Hezbollah have produced outstanding results in the battle against the Zionist entity. Surrogates they may be, but soon enough the Islamic Republic itself will demonstrate its serious intent with the finalization of nuclear ambitions. Wait and watch. When President Barack Obama belaboured Iran's agenda in his UN General Assembly speech today that too, had Mr. Ahmadinejad bursting with pride. It was write large on his beaming face.Canada, without anticipation of the content of Ahmadinejad's speech before the General Assembly, scheduled for the second day of the gathering, has resolved that it will not remain in the chamber while Iran's representative speaks. Germany recommends that EU members recognize their option to remove themselves from the chamber if Mr. Ahmadinejad, as expected, addresses the 192-nation assembly with yet another unequivocating blast of fiery hatred against Israel, heartily recommending extermination.
Iran stands ready to complete what Nazi Germany almost accomplished when it blemished the world's humanity by destroying half of international Jewry. Iran is quite prepared to follow the direction it claims to have received directly from Allah to favour the world by removing Israel from the world map. All the while vociferously denying that anything resembling a Holocaust ever occurred during World War II. There are those in the assembly prepared to eagerly applaud everything and anything emanating from Iran.
From Pakistan to North Korea, Burma to Venezuela, Syria to Qatar, Iran has its stalwarts. But Iran also has its critics, and it will be rather interesting to see what results from the fact that the United Nations, established to ensure that peace reigns among member-nations, sees nothing amiss in once again agreeing to accommodate an honoured guest on the podium to address the august body, whereby that guest besmirches the very purpose of the United Nations by slandering and promising to annihilate another UN member.
Refreshingly, concurrent with Ahmadinejad's scheduled speech, there are other, anti-radical elements at play, ready to announce their displeasure with the fanatical Islamism of Iran and its president's caustic and inflammatory rhetorical belligerence. Serving to restore one's flagging trust in humanity, comes the news that major protests are on track to take place in New York, Washington and elsewhere, in response to the UN incitement of Iran's president.
The New York City rally's theme is "freedom from Iran's nuclear threat to Israel, America and the free world - freedom from the United Nation's clear antipathy toward Jews, and well-demonstrated hatred of Israel - and freedom from the threat of radical Islam to the free world, (along with freedom from President Obama's attempts to mollify the Arab world, by applying pressure on the State of Israel to conduct itself in a manner leading to its destruction). That represents a whole host of freedoms, from tyranny and terrorism.
The most heartening aspect of these unfolding events is the amazingly wide range of organizations involved in sponsoring them. They include: Stand for Freedom in Iran Coalition; Progressive American Iranian Committee; StandWithUs, Jewish Community Relations Council of New York; UJA-Federation of New York; National Interagency Task Force on Iran; Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union; New York City Central Labor council: AFL-CIO; American Federation of Teachers; United Federation of Teachers; NAACP - New York Conference; The Cathedral of St.John the Divine; New York Coalition of 100 Black Women; Puerto Rican Coalition; 100 Hispanic Women.
Of course, none of this is really necessary. Simply because President Ahmadinejad claims to have been badly misunderstood. He really is a nice fellow, and would like to be liked. It may be true that he has warned that Iran's military is prepared to "cut off" the hands of those who wish to raise arms against Iran, a country well prepared to 'confront the forces of darkness'. But in fact, he's a sweet-natured humanist, and is prepared to prove that to everyone assembled to hear him speak.
