European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 8, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 12 the stars and stripes monday september 8, 1980 William Buckley Pam Nep proletariat Carter s diplomatic actions add to chaos As of this moment the two absolutely sure votes for Jimmy Carter arc chairman Hua s and Robert Mugabe s. It is meet that we pause for a moment to Pon Der the moral Vicissitudes of recent history. The Shah of Iran was overthrown As a result of a number of factors but it is Gen Era conceded that the pressures levelled on him by he state department in Pursuit of our human rights policy were critical. During 1977 and 1978 the Shah of Iran granted general amnesties emptied prisons permitted political exiles to return. This was done with the encouragement indeed at the instigation of the state department and indeed miss Derian the assistant Secretary of state in charge of human rights Monitor ing at one Point single hand edly held up for Many months the delivery to the Shah s forces of tear Gas and other mob control mechanisms whose Scarcity plausibly contributed to the murderous confrontation of Black Friday in september of 1978. It is made quite Clear in probably the Best Brief rundown on the fall of the Shah published in the Spring Issue of the Washington quarterly written by Michael be a can and William Lewis that the slate department s human rights coterie of Cyrus Vance Patricia Dorian and Henry procht was pleased by the erosion in the Shah s Power and glad to see him go. These arc All we pause to note High minded Folk and what they May be lacking in political and geopolitical intelligence is no reflection on their workaday decency and concern for human rights. They did not know and could not predict that the Shah s successor would be burying people alive and then stoning them to death. The Symbol of the affair new year s eve 1977. President Carter in Tehran toasting the Shah As an Oasis of stability an social Progress in a turbulent world. I am proud and pleased to be Able to visit at the end of my first year in office with our close friends and eighteen months later when the Shah was in a new York Hospital to be operated on for cancer president car Ter declined even to Send his close Friend and ally a get Well Telegram. Robert Mugabe one year ago was regarded As an outlaw by every government save that of the people s Republic of China which was busily financing his terrorism against first Ian Smith then Bishop muzo Rewa. Even the soviet Union which was backing Nkomo spoke ill of Mugabe notwithstanding Mugabe s High flown Fidel Ity to marxist principle. That Mugabe was casually engaged in murdering missionaries and torturing children did t bother the chinese communists chairman Hua after All was simultaneously backing the government of pol to in Cambodia which is very Likely the All time historical title Holder in depravity it being the going Esti mate that pol pol tortured and tilled and starved somewhere on the order of one third of his countrymen. Meanwhile of course Mugabe s terror ism had paid off and he won an election which had the effect of tra substantiating him from a marxist terrorist to a Good old boy hailed by Jimmy Carter at the while House As the non White Hope of Southern Africa. Yasser Arafat the head of the pal Estine liberation organization and terrorist in chief of the Middle East has committed no crime More heinous than those done under the direction of Mugabe and herewith a Flat prediction which is that the Day is not All that far removed when president Carter if re elected will Greet Arafat on the Steps of the White House with accompanying pleasantries. And Why should t he he has done As for Deng Xiaoping vice Premier of that part of China that for two generations has specialized in tyranny and social convulsion. Not Only is Jimmy Carter respect Ful toward Deng and chairman Hua he is disrespectful to anyone seeking the presi Dency who acknowledges the Mere exis tence of the relatively civilized chinese government that does t govern by Carter exactly one year after celebrating the Virtues of the Shah of Iran booted the ambassador from Taiwan out of the country without so much As a hand shake. Although Serene in the company of Robert Mugabe who clawed his Way to Power through terrorism and an election conducted under terrorism s Shadow or. Carter boycotted the funeral of a relatively enlightened despot who befriended America for 36 years. If you want tranquil times Trotsky observed to a Friend you picked the wrong Century to be born president Carter s social and diplomatic behaviour contribute to the chaos.

For a series of reasons the old american memorial Patjon of captive nations week initiated under president Eisen Hower has fallen into disrepute. First of All it rapidly fell into the hands of professional Loudmouth mainly righting who kept talking about liberation As though a Marine brigade could run the Bol ships out of Eastern Europe and the Baltic states.
