[Prodigal Son]

You know, my wife and I talked about this over breakfast this morning. When we were attacked on 9/11, the media and the left in general wasted no time at all in pointing out that we had brought the attacks on ourselves and some foreign media even mocked Americans for asking the simple question 'Why would anyone hate us so much as to do a thing like this?' Even with the attack in Bali, some people and many in the media were quick to point out that John Howard had brought this on Australia by entering into a coalition with the US.

Here, we have the UN being attacked viciously in a mindless and hateful act of violence. But when the UN and its sycophants ask 'Why would anyone attack the UN- we are here to help?' no one in the media mocks this question. No one suggests that the UN has brought this on themselves. And to make perfectly clear, I am not suggesting in any way that the UN has brought this on themselves. It's just that a clear double standard exists here.

When we are attacked, some people practically fall over themselves pointing out that if we didn't meddle in the affairs of others no one would hate us. Yet the UN- by its very mandate a meddler in the affairs of others- is totally exempt from this line of argument.

I find this whole affair sickening. The violence. The loss of life. The cognitive dissonance in the media and on the Left concerning this matter...

Some people, here and abroad, just hate the USA -- period.
