Arrest Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by Bernie Quigley from The Hill (5/3/2010)
The people who appease Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today are the same people who appeased Hitler. He hates Israel. He hates Jews. He hopes and fully intends at any given opportunity to destroy Israel and kill the 5 million Jews living there. That there is hesitation and substitute action with this scum bag is beyond imagination. Secretary Clinton should be sent to jail for treason for allowing his entry. Diplomatic immunity should be suspended for this special occasion and anyone who sits and listens to him at the U.N. should be seen as accomplices and have their visas revoked. Mayor Mike Bloomberg should snag him while he is here and the City of New York give him a fair trial for crimes against humanity and hang him in Times Square.
Not likely to happen in our day, but we might be at the sea change when CNN reports that it was a Vietnam veteran who noticed smoke from the car bomb intended to blow up Times Square. The degradation of Vietnam vets came from a society which couldn’t face the difficult realities of democratic life and represented soldier/action man — those who could — as drug addicts, “baby killers” and psychos. But here is the vet now with instinct, awareness, resourcefulness and courage. He is Master Chief; he is Zen Man. He, the soldier, the veteran, is the culture’s one essential element; the fundamental building block of a free society. Possibly we are turning a corner. Maybe the black flags can start to come down now.
The incident may bring even New York City, which prides itself on its inability to deal effectively with terrorism, much as Boston did before Christmas, to a fighting stance. The Christmas bomber brought Scott Brown to the Senate and brought New England — like the king in Lord of the Rings — out of its pseudo-pacifist trance. Possibly this could do the same for New York City.
It couldn’t happen at a better time for New York, for America. The week Mahmoud Ahmadinejad comes to New York City to gloat. New Yorkers should not let it happen.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu's senior ministers have arrest warrants waiting for them in Europe's capital cities — while mass murderer Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is invited to lecture at Columbia University,” my Israeli friend Moshe Feiglin wrote last month. Now Ahmadinejad comes to New York and to the U.N..
Certainly the State Department would grant him a visa. They thought about not doing that then determined it best to default back to standard procedure: Send Hillary in to yell at him. Hard.
The Clintons, although generational figures; Sixties people and not real New Yorkers, have been snuggling up to terrorists since the Oslo Agreements. That New York ever elected an outsider like Hillary in the first place suggests the Big Nurse Syndrome. Like Bill, like the inmates of Cuckoo’s Nest, we voluntarily choose the dark mother — Big Nurse — over Earth Mother. She makes things easy. She allows anything. Her only demand is that you not be a man.
Real New Yorkers should stop the Ahmadinejad presence in New York from happening.
I hope the governor of Arizona is not aiming for nullification with her new immigration law. As Texas Governor Rick Perry said, it is a bad law. It is especially bad if she intends states sovereignty posturing following the wave of pop politics; appealing to complex and low populist passions would be completely irresponsible and would prejudice the states legitimate complaints against the Constitutionality of Obamacare. But I bet New York could find a great states rights defense against Ahmadinejad right now to prevent his presence in the city; my city, the greatest city in the world.
There are so many different ways to make this not happen. But New York has, since the Sixties, come to see protest as an end in itself. That is, the idea that a bunch of people going outside to pout, as per the Saul Alinsky handbook, is in itself a success. It is zero sum. It makes no different to these people if it succeeds or fails. They like to fail. It relieves them of the responsibilities of governance; of adulthood. They substitute easy tasks for responsibility: Yes, we welcome terrorists like Yasser Arafat and Ahmadinejad, even Kali, the Death Mother, but we have a very strong bottle bill.
At the beginning of the war on Iraq a few of us in Vermont and New Hampshire, citing Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolutions of 1797, offered a price for the war on Iraq; a war which we saw as unconstitutional: State secession. A “states rights defense against Dick Cheney.” Seems to have caught on. There has to be a price extracted; there has to be an object, a commitment, or it is just a play of conspicuous piety.
There should be two parts: One, the solid objective — Ahmadinejad will not speak, will not be allowed to be in New York City under any circumstances. Two, tactics: What are the options? Because the U.N. is irrelevant to the moral core of the greatest city of the world and so is a central government that would grant a high terrorist like Ahmadinejad a visa. It is false government. It is false consciousness. It is self deception. And if New York City meets the needs and demands of these unbearably light abstractions that hover above her like the alien space ships in V, she loses her moral core; she loses her soul; she loses everything.
