Conservative Wordsmith Susan Baldwin writes: Governor Mitt Romney addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition's Presidential Candidates Forum on Tuesday, October 16. Mitt spoke about the threats of Jihadists, nuclear terrorism, and the Iranian regime. Mitt Romney also spoke forcefully about the failures of the United Nations.
Here are some excerpts from his speech:
Governor Romney: "'Building alliances also means speaking clearly when institutions fail. The United Nations has failed to contain aggression, failed to stop proliferation, and failed to prevent genocide. Its failures stem from the lack of a community of interest and values by its members. What we need are new international structures in which only free nations are invited to work together for basic shared goals. We will not withdraw from the UN – we need a body where the whole world can talk. But we also need bodies where the free world can act. The UN Human Rights Council, however, has a particularly repugnant record. It has repeatedly targeted Israel, while remaining virtually silent in the face of egregious violations by the world's worst human rights abusers: Iran, Burma, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Syria. It is time to end U.S. support for this sad spectacle – the United States should withdraw immediately from the UN Human Rights Council.'"
Governor Romney: "'Until only recently, too many American leaders remained silent while the Iranian regime tortured dissidents, funded terrorists targeting Americans and Israelis, subjugated and stoned women, threatened the destruction of Israel, and rushed toward nuclear weapons. This was not just under Ahmadinejad. Former Iranian President Khatami referred to Hezbollah, as the 'shining sun that illuminates and warms the hearts of all Muslims and supporters of freedom in the world.' Yet when Harvard invited Khatami to give an address on the eve of the 5th Anniversary of 9/11, the media and Washington elites praised him as a 'moderate.' I took a different course. I was asked to have my state police lead his convoy to Harvard, I said no way.'" 1
