I have been anxious over the fate of Abdul Rahman and the possibility of his execution for being a Christian. Some people seem to think that we are arrogant for wanting to push our values on other countries. I believe that basic human rights should always prevail and it has nothing to do with arrogance. We are all watching to see what happens here.
I must say that I was disappointed from an absence of statements from the US government regarding this case however I don't know the big picture. Perhaps something is being done and we're not hearing about it. Regardless, I am extremely happy that Prime Minister Harper is paying attention and he still has my vote! I may just have to change my blog subtitle as "my" government seems to be reflecting my "values" for a change.
Canada Supports Abdul Rahman
I also watched a television program on the Discovery channel's Case Against Saddam tonight. They were investigating a mass grave of 300 women and children in Iraq who were shot in the back of the head and then bulldozed over. These women and children were "allegedly" rounded up from a northern village, taken to jail, and then one night were removed. One woman had a 3 month old baby and one little boy still had a ball in his hand - all executed. I thank God that I was born in Canada. There, but for the grace of God, go I. And, please, do not talk to me about my arrogance for believing in basic human rights and that our way is better....
