Speech of the Week: Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine


Invoking Winston Churchill's characterization of an "appeaser" as "one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) speaking at the Policy Conference this week branded Iranian President Ahmadinejad the head not of a government but of "a racist, death worshipping cult" and said his "denial of the Holocaust at the same time as he pledges to repeat it" was evidence of a "twisted" mind, the mind of a crocodile that "must be fed no longer." As ambassadors and envoys from around the world - notably including Afghanistan, Oman, Pakistan and Turkey - listened keenly, the Republican Senator declared flatly: "We cannot allow to achieve nuclear weapons capability."
