George Jonas hit the nail on the head today in the National Post about how the UN is the main stumbling block to peace.
They have so many exceptions to their own rules, such as letting Libya chair the human rights committee – that it has become a joke.
The US needs to remove itself from the UN -and then expel the UN and let it move to Europe where it belongs.
By now it’s evident that it was a lousy deal. The UN has graduated from occasionally exempting itself from its own founding principles to betraying them altogether. By now even doing away with Saddam won’t serve the prospect of peace and democracy in the world as much as doing away with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s fiefdom. If the old League of Nations foundered because it showed itself to be irrelevant when faced with the aggression of dictators like Mussolini, the UN will founder because it has become a shield for every Mussolini of our day.
The brilliant Mark Steyn on abortion’s 30 year RvsW case…and how it relates to the decline of the West…
Abortion is like the entirely mythical “population bomb” touted by the award-festooned Paul Ehrlich, who predicted millions of Americans would be starving to death by the 1980s: It’s a prop of the Western progressive’s bizarre death-cultism. We are so bad, so racist, so polluting, so exploitative that we owe it to the world not to be born in the first place.
You know we don’t have a real leader in any level of government when you see Bush in action. His decisive words in last night’s SOTU showed what true leadership is all about.
When it comes to true leadership, Canadians sometimes have a hard time recognizing it when they see it—particularly if it appears in a room adorned with the Stars and Stripes.
The Sun has more on BABY MIRA’S MIRACLE RESCUE.
The moment Baby Mira entered the world, the countdown to her death began.
Born on the icy concrete at Nathan Phillips Square and left there to die, the little four-pound, four-ounce baby shouldn’t have survived.
The will to live is incredible, even when you’re premature and left unbundled in the cold.
WorldNetDaily: Iraq to chair Conference on Disarmament
What more does Canada and the world need to see that the UN is a hopeless/hapless bureaucracy that has barricaded itself from reality?
Later this year, the U.N.-established Conference on Disarmament will seat a new president: Iraq.
[...]
“Whatever Iraq is doing, or its state, life goes on,” he said. “International legal instruments are still working. We cannot suspend them because of something that is happening in accordance with the rules. Unless they will be altered by the members themselves, they will remain the same. The rules say chairmanship goes by rotation in alphabetical order.”
Eject! Eject! Eject! Is the name of a fine blog, now residing to the left in our blogroll. Once more, thank you Loudmouth for this link.
Here’s an except from an exceptional essay answering all the questions our annoying liberal media cannot.
And I will not forget another one, either. As long as I draw breath, I swear I will never forget the sight of two people holding hands, and leaping from 108 stories above the hard concrete sidewalks that I myself have walked, gawking skyward at one of the wonders of the world. I will not forget them. I will not forget their fall, the spin that finally tore their hands apart as they fell forever, forever down that quarter-mile.
Daniel Pipes writes about an article by David Gelernter in which he states that history is repeating itself.
He finds today’s Europe “amazingly” similar to that of the 1920s in other ways too: “its love of self-determination and loathing of imperialism and war, its liberal Germany, shrunken Russia, and map of Europe crammed with small states, with America’s indifference to Europe and Europe’s disdain for America, with Europe’s casual, endemic anti-Semitism, her politically, financially, and masochistically rewarding fascination with Muslim states who despise her, and her undertone of self-hatred and guilt.”
Most of what Jack Layton says infuriates me, but I have to say I am pleased that he won the NDP Leadership race. Part of it is because that means he’s out of Toronto, the other part is he is a colorful character that will be good for the right wing of this country. In this story, he talks sense. He’s all for proportional representation – which only help the alienated west and counter Quebec’s unfair influence on central government.
“Minority governments help build solutions,” he said. “If the NDP holds the balance of power in a minority government in the next election, our first condition will be a national referendum on proportional representation.”
I’m compelled to post this, as I find it is a serious problem and I want a record here and on the web of my problem. My 2nd GM product with a 3.4 engine, a 2001 Montana, is costing me big time. The major problem, the coolant system, is costing my close to $3000 for a van with 160k … not much.
Many others have the same problems. They say it is related to DEXCOOL, made by Texaco – that eats gaskets. Petitions are being signed. Lawsuits are being launched.
Baby Miracle on Queen St. is beating all the odds
Hug your kid a little tighter today.
Instead, they found a newborn baby girl, abandoned on the cold concrete under an overhanging stairway just steps from city hall on Queen St. W.
For every wanted kid born today, there must be two or three unwanted…what a miserable way to start out life.
Remind your kid he’s the most important person in your life – now!
Looks like I’m going to have to start a war category, as the war drums are starting to beat and things are getting interesting.
As most of you readers know, real info and insight is found in the blogsphere: it’s amazing how traditional media is letting everyone down AGAIN!
USS Clueless, in my blogroll to the left, is an excellent source of information so you know what’s really going on and not being reported!
It’s an engineering aphorism that the sour taste of poor quality lingers long after the sweet scent of early delivery is forgotten.
The point being that when customers, management and marketing are all yapping about slipped schedules, you need to stand firm and take the time needed to make the product actually work right. Shipping crap early is worse than shipping something good a bit late, all other things being equal. And what people worry about in the run up to shipment is different from what they remember after the fact. Once you actually ship, no one will talk about that part of it any longer.
‘Other woman’ comes forward / Laci Peterson’s family speaks out on her husband
Is there anybody left in America that believes that the husband didn’t have something to do with his wife’s disappearance? First, he lies about having an affair, right up until the other woman comes forward. Now, he wants to concentrate the search miles away from the incident? Can someone say OJ here?
Any time a woman goes missing or dead, the man in her life is the #1 suspect, period. Simple stats.
The sooner the cops turn their magnifying glasses on Scott, the sooner they’ll find the truth.
One month after a pregnant Modesto woman vanished, a tearful 28-year- old woman stepped forward Friday night to admit that she had carried on an affair with the missing woman’s husband.
Lest any of you disillusioned Canadians actually thought the UN was there to help:
About 40 minutes later, another Iraqi man stopped a U.N. vehicle outside the headquarters pleading “Save me! Save me!” in Arabic, according to the U.N. The man, apparently unarmed, forced his way into the driver’s seat of the stopped vehicle, as an Iraqi guard struggled to pull him out, while an unfazed U.N. inspector watched from the passenger seat.
Appearing agitated and frightened, the young man, with a closely trimmed beard and mustache, sat inside the white U.N.-marked utility vehicle for 10 minutes, AP reported. At first, an inspection team leader sought help from nearby Iraqi soldiers, but the man refused to leave the vehicle as the uniformed men pulled on his sleeve and collar.
“I am unjustly treated!” he shouted.
Then U.N. security men arrived, and they and Iraqi police carried the man by his feet and arms into the fenced compound, journalists said. The man was turned over to Iraqi authorities at a government office adjacent to the compound, U.N. officials said.
Iraqi officials said they had no information on the incidents.
…and I’m sure they’ll never have any information on these guys… pacifists take note.
Toronto Sun Columnist: Peter Worthington on how war is the answer to the problem of Iraq. Canada is shameful in its support of the do-nothing UN and the pacificts of Europe.
By their collusion to try to delay any U.S. attack on Iraq, Germany and especially France may have guaranteed that U.S. President George W. Bush will do it anyway.
