UCLA's academic senate has just passed a resolution condemning the United States for war against Iraq. Obviously this comes a little late, but they really seem to feel that, "the few academic senates in the country are the only organizations who should take a stand on human morals. It's more than our right, it's our obligation." This is a direct quote from Karoly Holczer, a physics professor.

Why? What power on Earth gives a physics professor and a bunch of students any credibility when it comes to human morals? I don't remember anything about oppression and tyranny versus the rule of law in my physics courses. People are paying this guy to teach their kids about physics, not to turn them in to left-wing morons who ignore history in an effort to blame America for everything. When discussing the rebuilding of Iraq, this guy even had the nerve to ask if the US has ever done a good job at anything. When the guy interviewing him mentioned Japan and Germany, Holczer said that those situations were very different. That's right, Truman was a Democrat, whereas the President in office during the rebuilding of Iraq is a Republican.

Holczer feels that the United Nations, "was not governed by self-interest of nations or a 'few number of people, elected or selected or put into power without any control.'" Somehow I find it hard to believe that an educated man could have come to that conclusion after watching the French try to save their butts (and arms deals) during the days leading up to Bush's 48 hour warning to Saddam. I don't undertstand why these people cannot open their eyes to reality. The UN, while a good idea in the beginning, has devolved to uselessness primarily because it is governed by the self-interest of nations.

I'd write more, but I'm starving, it's time to go to Quizno's.
