Chuck Colson writes of two recent speeches, those of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and President Bush. Bush called out the actions of Ahmadinejad without naming him and reminded the UN General Assembly of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Colson speculates that Ahmadinejad would claim that the UN has no business interfering in Iran’s internal affairs. He recalled that Vasily Kuznetsov had said as much to him regarding Soviet affairs when he was sent by Nixon to negotiate on behalf of Soviet Jews.
Indeed, is that not often the reaction of a person called on the carpet for wrongful behavior? “Mind your own business! Stay out of my affairs!”
I don’t advocate that people tell other people what to do, or what not to do, or put pressure on them to change their behavior or turn them in except when there is clear abuse of another person involved. Am I my brother’s (or sister’s) keeper? You betcha.
