How Numb Are We???

Hello friends,

I have posted parts of this blog on the authorsden website,
so you might have already read it. Certain issues, however, are so dear to me that I post them twice. I hope you readers can appreciate my urgency.
(Please forgive my strong language, but even as a writer I'm limited with words)

Today, I'm wondering how numb we are in this great country!! Today, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visits and speaks at Columbus University in New York. I don't have many words which would properly explain my outrage about this but here is what I came up with:

God help us! The enemy is within!

Frankly, I CAN NOT believe he is allowed into the country. You people in New York like to have him 'speak' to our already with liberal ideas infested students?
I don't think I need to get into detail WHY he shouldn't even be here. Well, for you completely ignorant ones out there, I'm happy to skim the surface: He critics our administration to say the very least. Okay, two thirds of the American population do the same, but without wanting to terminate it's leaders AND citizens.
He's in bed with Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria and those other peaceful countries one looks forward to spending one's honeymoon. He supports Iran's nuclear program, which of course, is completely peaceful... and he doesn't give a rat's ass about the UN security counsel or anyone else with a somewhat healthy idea of rules and regulations, not even to mention democracy!
On top of that I have a very personal issue here: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly stated that Israel ought to be wiped off the map and that Hitler's Holocaust didn't happen. "A myth", he says. It just so happened that I was born and raised in Germany and I actually saw and experienced the 'aftermath' of Hitler's doings. My own Mother fled from the Russians with her family and watched how the Jews got destroyed under Hitler's order. So don't YOU Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dare telling ME that the Holocaust is a freaking myth!!

I know it's not that easy, but I so wished I'd be the border patrol officer who'd have the power of denying him access to this Country! No matter what the consequences.
Well; my question for you, sleeping America, would be: If this evil mind is able to convince people that the Holocaust didn't happen, maybe if you let him talk long enough, MAYBE he can convince you that 9/11 didn't happen neither!
Sleep tight on that one!

Rebecca,

I think it is important to know and talk with your "enemy," however this visit reeks of hypocrisy. Having him visit an esteemed universtiy as if he is on a lecture tour reminds me of the days in the 1930's when American universities invited Nazi leaders to come and speak and actually supported some of their emerging policies and ideas.

Very very dangerous ground we are on.

David,

you are so right with both of your points and I can only under score the latter. We're on extremly dangerous ground. The photo I posted of him on my blog shows you how charismatic he is. Just as charismatic as Hitler and Hermann Goering were. These men know how to manipulate, especially young people.
