Leading Liberal Party bigwig backs Saddam's 'peace activists'
David Revelman
In an apparent effort to settle some old scores while getting brownie points from Saddam's friends in the counterfeit peace movement former Liberal Party president John Valder has decided to betray John Howard.
Valder accused Howard of turning his back on democracy by refusing to surrender to the Stalinist directed 'peace movement'.
That the man who once wanted to curb the Australian media by licensing journalists should now tout himself as a defender of democratic values is more than ironic.
According to Valder's logic the Liberal Party Government's war policy should not only be determined by the state of public opinion, badly informed as it usually is in these matters, but that the only true democratic government is one that gets a majority of the popular vote.
As this rarely happens in Australia, including the UK and the US, the country must therefore be undemocratic. Moreover, his other argument that the Liberal Party Government does not have a mandate for war because war was not part of its electoral campaign is sheer humbug.
By the same token Chamberlain was acting undemocratically when he declared war on Adolf Hitler. But history and logic is not what Valder, and other anti-American Liberal Party Tories, is about. But what are we to expect from a man who seriously equated the Bush administration with Saddam's sadistic regime and even suggested that "Washington needs a regime change as much as Baghdad ..."
Also puzzling to some is why Valder has been so quick to attack Bush but refuses to raise objections to our phony peace movement whose activities have been coordinated by the Stalinist Workers World Party which has been funded by Saddam and Kim Jong-il.
Funny, is it not, that our lefwing journalists and the fellow travelling Valder see no necessity in exposing this foreign-based Stalinist organisation's meddling in our domestic affairs though they savage the Liberal Party Government.
Perhaps Valder would care to explain why our self-righteous 'peace' activists are so keen on keeping the pathological Saddam in power. Has he not observed that these pro-Saddam rallies have been organised to condemn Bush, Blair and the Liberal Party, not to mention Israel. Or perhaps the prospect of the annihilation of the Israeli state is not something that loses him any sleep.
That these leftwing activists not only refuse to call for Saddam's overthrow but also suppress any reference to his atrocities, to children being tortured in front of their parents, youngsters being crucified, women being raped, beheaded, and set on fire should alert any decent person to the true nature of these latter day brownshirts.
Any informed person who observes these fake 'peace activists' can only feel sick to the stomach and ashamed that so many Australians could be so callous, so cruelly indifferent to the suffering of Saddam's victims. But that is the left for you, wherever it is. And now the morally bereft multi-millionaire Valder has decided to join them.
Rania Kashi, 19-year-old Iraqi exile living in Britain has a couple of questions for the likes of the cigar-smoking, cognac-drinking deep thinking Mr Valder and his supporters in the Saddam 'peace movement'.
"Saddam has murdered more than a million Iraqis over the past 30 years, are you willing to allow him to kill another million Iraqis?" Well are you, Mr Valder?
"Why is it now that you [peace activists] deem it appropriate to voice your disillusions with America's policy in Iraq, when it is actually right now that the Iraqi people are being given real hope, however slight and precarious, that they can live in an Iraq that is free of the horrors partly described in this email?" Because they are motivated by a hatred of America and a loathing of Bush.
Any humanitarian feelings the pompous likes of Valder and the rest of the despicable crew might have had are easily trumped by their anti-Americanism. Unfortunately Valder is typical of Liberal Party High Tories, including the ones that live in Toorak, Melbourne. They are such a callous bunch of narcissists that I would not spit on them if they were on fire.
Note: Unfortunately supporters of Saddam's phony peace movement have replied to our attacks with profanities that even made our economics editor blush — and he was in the merchant navy.
What is more, their incoherent rantings convinced us that these people are anything but rational. The only thing that seems to drive them is pure hate. And that always reminds of pathological Brownshirts.
