Ted Kennedy singing "We Are The World." Happily, no audio is available. The mental image of Ted Kennedy singing one of the worst songs ever written will haunt me for weeks.
The mentality of the naive and solipsistic "We Are The World" explains the actions of Democratic Representative and Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. Kucinch had nothing but praise for the murderous Assad who is currently sending terrorists to Iraq to Americans, but found the time to bash George Bush on foreign soil.
Kucinich, who accused the Bush administration of policies that have destabilized the Mideast, met with Syrian President Bashar Assad during his visit to Damascus. He said Assad was receptive to his ideas of "strength through peace."
Democrats serious about defense of America should denounce the foolish Kucinich. The fact that Kucinich is so naive as to actually believe that Bashar Assad, who heads one of the most repressive governments of the world, might adopt Kucinich's "strength through peace" idea demonstrates that Kucinich's view of the world is so hopelessly infantile that he is not fit for high office.
Here is an example, from Freedom House, of the policies of the government Dennis Kucinich praises (for more follow the link above):
A husband may request that the Interior Ministry block his wife from traveling abroad, and women are generally barred from leaving the country with their children unless they can prove that the father has granted permission. Violence against women is common, particularly in rural areas. Syrian law stipulates that an accused rapist can be acquitted if he marries his victim, and the law provides for reduced sentences in cases of “honor crimes” committed by men against female relatives for alleged sexual misconduct. Personal status law for Muslim women is governed by Sharia (Islamic law) and is discriminatory in marriage, divorce, and inheritance matters.
