“Cria cuervos y te sacaran los ojos” (Raise crows and they will peck your eyes out)

An old Spanish proverb….which depicts the situation we have today thanks to an overtly passive society except for, thank God, President Bush. Angela Merkel, rightly so, is now being hailed as a champion by many in the European Press for comparing Iran’s President to Hitler and warning that the west must take note of this lunatic’s assertions in order that the sins of the past are not repeated.. It is ironical that today every paper is celebrating the great international consensus there is between France-Russia-Germany in that they all agree, if need be, to deliver a nuclear solution to wipe out President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s pretensions.

Could it be that Ahmadinejad’s and the fanatics' delusions, were caused by some of the same press, if not directly, that now is defending its “freedom"?. Had some journalists been less consumed by hatred, in their vicious attacks, slanting and distorting of factual information, to discredit President Bush, and in showing photographs of flag burnings and posters calling for jihads against America, to support their anti-war stance, maybe these monsters today would not be desecrating that western inalienable right of free speech.

If it were not for a few principled men who stood tall against the face of evil and called it like it is, we would be facing today a worst scenario. Next to President Ahmadinejad would be the other wannabe terminator, Saddam Hussein.

This is not a war of tendencies, left or right. This is a war between civilized societies and those that want to destroy it at all costs claiming to get even after 600-800 years with the perverse intention to annihilate everything that their societies never accomplished.

Maybe now with this cartoon incident is the West, as a whole, finally waking up to the realization that those judeo-christian values- the essence behind our “human rights”- should be hailed and protected against all odds.
