Voyage of the "St. Louis"

Voyage of the "St. Louis"
I like to read WWII history. I couldn't believe what i was hearing Jim Dobson say last night on his FotF show. He claimed Terri Schaivo's court assisted killing was the greatest tragedy of our country. Maybe he meant in the last couple months, but that statement got me thinking on this event from WWII. We refused entry to 930 Jewish passengers trying to escape from Hitler's Germany. They thought they had valid entry visas into Cuba, a country which took in more Jewish refugees than anywhere else in this hemisphere, article, but were refused. The ship was ordered out of Cuban waters. And even though they could see the lights of Miami, our country refused to help them and sent them back to Europe where they were received by Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. Three of those countries were later occupied by Hitler and 250 are known to have died under occupation. Needless to say, I didn't appreciate Dobson's hyperbole.

No doubt that Dobson meant ....uh...this month, or in the press, or in plain sight. He and many Schiavo defenders would see as an equal tragedy the 8-month-old foetus that is delivered alive and chucked in a blue bin (alive!) and allowed to starve or freeze to death as an equally grave tragedy. This happens all the time without the press hoopla. It's called a botched, late-term, saline abortion. Sometimes your tax dollars pay for it, Mr Dobson.
