I don’t follow the news much. Just the headlines, not the details.

Yeah, yeah. I know. Bad bad bad. I’m going to hell. To not stay abreast of the latest scandal rocking Hollywood or the same old same old he-said-she-said of international politics is immoral, criminal, and downright stupid.

Whatever.

So, I knew about the Danish cartoon and the rioting. Bill and I do discuss current events, when we have a quiet moment, so we talked about it to some degree. But now I have a greater understanding of the TRUE motives. Kind of like discovering that Hitler targeted Jews not because they were Jewish (oh, please excuse me if that is a big shock to you), but because they were wealthy, middle class, and a threat to an unholy dictatorship.

Indeed, with Denmark set to assume the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council, the flames of the cartoon controversy have been fanned by Iran and Syria. This is critical since the International Atomic Energy Agency is expected to refer Iran to the Security Council and demand sanctions. At the same time, Syria is under scrutiny for its actions in Lebanon. Both Iran and Syria cynically want to embarrass the Danes to achieve their dangerous goals.

So, it’s not really about the cartoon, it’s about embarrassing Denmark. I get it. Thanks to Eric Scheske for the link.
