''A READER living in Moscow," writes National Review's Jay Nordlinger, ''sent me a photo from a rally in Azerbaijan, which showed a youth holding up a poster of President Bush with the words, 'We Want Freedom.' The reader commented, 'It's good to remember whom people turn to when they're desperate -- and it ain't Kofi Annan.' "
Indeed. It is fashionable in some circles to invoke the United Nations as the touchstone of moral authority, but realists know better. They look to the United States, not the UN, as the great moral engine in world affairs.
Read this piece by Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe Columnist.
In the previous post I quoted Howard "Daffy" Dean as saying when the donks are elected America will be "the moral authority of the world." Well, Howie, America is the moral authority of the world and that authority comes through not because of equivocating wannabe leaders like you, Durbin, Kennedy and Kerry.
In order to have moral authority, you must have moral absolutes that you will not veer from. You and your ilk have amorphous morals, never crystalizing a code of conduct because it might interfere with your nefarious schemes. That is not what America, nor the world wants or needs. The voters keep telling you that, but you turn a deaf ear because the truth is the last thing you hypocrites want to hear.
