While the entire U.S. is steaming over the desecration of our flag by a bunch of ungrateful (and in many cases, illegal) immigrants this week, Iran steadily plods forward in its quest for domination of the Middle East and obliteration of Israel.

Secretary of State Condi Rice called for permanent sanctions today against Iran while talking with the members of the UN Security Council, and received, as the MSM puts it, a “decidedly cool reaction from China and Russia.” Hmm. I wonder why.

…Dai Bingguo, China’s vice minister of foreign affairs, rejected the idea of sanctions and offered a thinly veiled criticism of the war in Iraq when he said, “The Chinese side feels there has already been enough turmoil in the Middle East. We don’t need any more turmoil.”

So witty, those Chinese. I say that when China stops forcing women to have abortions, stops filtering and blocking internet content, and stops persecuting Christians, then they can come talk to us about the perceived “turmoil” they think we caused in the Middle East. Until then, allow me to simply wrap myself in the precious freedom of speech that I have and send a big hearty “Suck it!” over to Mr. Bingguo. Please excuse my choice of phrase; it was the most non-profane thing I could come up with.

As it is, both Russia and China bluntly declared that they had no interest in imposing sanctions or taking any further action against Iran, though both countries did express concern about the nuclear program. Both countries said they wanted to refer the issue back to the atomic energy agency.

Let me translate that for you. What they’re saying here is, “We’re kind of worried about their nuclear program, but only because you Americans will try to do something about it, and hurt our current arms business with Iran, so let’s send it back to some agency to deal with.”

The immigration debate is definitely red-hot right now, but I think it’s important that we don’t forget about all the rest of the countries and regimes and groups who want our people dead and our land for themselves.

Then again, I don’t think illegal immigrants want us dead. Who would support them then?

1. “Then again, I don’t think illegal immigrants want us dead. Who would support them then?”

   Doesn’t that kinda depend on how many of them are Islamic sleeper cells just waiting for the delivery of their first coupla nukes?

   Proper border security has more than one raison d’être.

2. “Who would support them?” Most of them are not terrorists, but nice point on the majority, which are kids (citizens) of illegals.
