An interesting array of articles,
comments, ideas, etc.; my curiosity is aroused.
Did Herb Dhaliwal ever stop to
consider that his statement about President Bush not being a statesman
categorizes him as being unstatesmanlike?
Who the hell does Herb Dhaliwal think
he is, in his (questionable) capacity as the minister of natural resources (I
wonder if he could name Canada's 5 most important natural resources), to make
meaningless and irrelevant pronouncements about the President of the United
States? Where does he get the arrogance (does he by chance have some French
blood in him) that makes him think he speaks for the whole world when he said:
"He's let down not only Americans, but the world by not being a
statesman."?
As for Paul Martin (probably our next
prime minister), why is it no surprise that he is in agreement with and supports
the decision of the Liberal government, of which he is a member (even if he's
considered a "black sheep" member by many of his party members)? He, as the
former Minister of Finance, has to bear much of the responsibility for
propagating the decimation of the Canadian military, to the point where
it is now the laughing stock of the developed world. Hell, there are
several "third-world" countries around the globe that have a bigger and
better-equipped military than Canada's.
Perhaps it is just as well that
Canada's chicken-livered, cowardly and spineless Liberal government chose not to
join and support the Americans and the Brits in the war with Iraq. If we
had sent our poorly-equipped troops into that war, it would probably have turned
into an even greater embarassment to Canada. First of all, our troops would
probably have to hitch a ride on U.S. airplanes or ships to get over there. Then
they would be dying like flies if the Iraqis were to use any of those biological
or chemical weapons that they don't have, because they would have no gas masks
to protect them. Lastly, the final embarassment would come when the Canadian
troops would have to go the Americans and the Brits begging for food. The only
thing that might prevent total embarassment would be to provide them with an
abundant supply of good Canadian beer which they could trade with the Americans
for food --- I say, FOOD, for God's sake, not watered-down, non-alcoholic,
non-fat, non-carbohydrate American non-beer.
