She Said What?
Americans Against Hate Chairman Joe Kaufman has issued a press release stating that a former governmental relations intern for the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has made some rather incendiary remarks in a blog post. Here’s the opening paragraphs of Kaufman’s press release:
In her piece, entitled, ‘Ahmadinejad Visits Columbia,’ speaking about the President of Iran’s call for the destruction of Israel, she wrote, “Wiping other countries off the map? Apartheid Israel is not a country, it was created by wiping Palestine off the map; isn’t all fair in love and war?” She then remarked, “Do we really have the right to be upset at Ahmadinejad for talking about wiping an apartheid ‘state’ off the map?”
Later, Billoo took umbrage with a City Councilman who said that Ahmadinejad had American blood on his hands. She wrote, “Iran has the blood of [sic] Ameircan soldiers on his hands? Way to pass the buck! The blood of those soldiers is squarely on the hands of Bush and Co.! Excuse the Iraqis for attempting to defend themselves in the midst of an illegal war!”
Ms. Billoo’s denials notwithstanding, there is American blood on Iran’s hands. Is she justifying Iran’s supplying Sadr’s militias with explosively formed projectiles (EFP’s)? If she is, then she’s implying that it’s ok for Iran to interfere in another country’s war. It’s one thing to say that Iran has the right to defend itself if another country attacked it. It’s quite another to say that Iran has a right to interfere in another sovereign nation’s internal affairs.
Furthermore, notice the gambit she uses in saying “Excuse the Iraqis for attempting to defend themselves…” Sadr’s militias used Iranian-built EFP’s to kill Iraqi and MNF-I troops in direct disobedience of Maliki’s government. How dare a bunch of renegades take the law into their own hands.
That isn’t all she said in that post:
How dare Condee pass judgment while we are spending billions of dollars on a regular basis to ensure Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and countless other countries stay off the map.
Excuse me? Why is Ms. Billoo complaining about the the US military destroying the oppressive regimes of the Taliban and Saddam? Would she prefer seeing these regimes still in power? As for Palestine staying off the map, that’s their choice. President Bush laid out a roadmap to help create two sovereign nations, Israel and Palestine.
According to President Bush’s plan, that won’t happen until each side meets certain benchmarks. Thus far, Hamas won’t even start working on its responsibilities. Thus, they’ve made their choice to not have their sovereign nation.

You say: “If she is, then she’s implying that it’s ok for Iran to interfere in another country’s war. It’s one thing to say that Iran has the right to defend itself if another country attacked it. It’s quite another to say that Iran has a right to interfere in another sovereign nation’s internal affairs.”
And how many times has the US interfered in other countrys’ wars, meddling in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations? Always seems to be accepted and usual for us to do it, but heaven forbid someone else follow our example.
