There are a few thousand dead people from a few years back who, if they could be asked, would tell you that it's hardly a 'non-existant' problem.
There's also a few hundred thousand dead people in another part of the world who would tell you to put things into perspective and realize which is the greater tragedy.
The fact that they were put in a no-win situation by a bunch of neocon nitwits doesn't detract from what they're trying to do.
What they are trying to do isn't exactly clear. Why Saddam had to go, and Israel needs help, but Burma and Darfur don't matter doesn't make any sense to me.
I think he'd do fine until there could be another leadership convention to find a replacement.
We'll never know. Canadians won't elect someone who talks about new taxation. This is the guy who stated he would reverse the decision to lower the GST. Why would you even say a thing like that out loud? He's got to be on the Conservatives payroll.
Despite American attempts to beef up the infrastructure, it's actually worse than it was under Sadam, with most of the electrical grid down most of the time.
American attempts to beef up the infrastructure? They are the ones who destroyed the infrastructure. I hope you aren't trying to say that the Americans are doing everything they can.
Hasn't the supreme court been the voice of reason since 9/11? They don't seem to be able to stop the maniacs in power, but they seem to make sane decisions most of the time.
The Liberals were completely against it but, because it might have triggered an election, they slink off during the vote and let it through.
I've been a Liberal supporter for almost 20 years. I've volunteered during every election since I was 12 years old to help out. The idea of having Stephane Dion for a prime minister frightens me. I'm glad they didn't trigger an election, no good could come of it. Either Harper gets a majority or Stephane will form a government that will smear the Liberal name as badly or worse than Brian Mulroney did for the Conservatives.
Which government are you watching? Anything Bush says about the 'war on terror', Harper is right up there backing him up. I don't recall any Prime Minister in the past saying anything about Israel. This one makes a weekly speech about how wonderful they are and how we'll support them no matter what neighboring country they destroy.
would you support Native American attacks against all other groups of Americans (e.g. you)?
The Canadian government does attempt to make reparations for "our" wrong doings. I support that. Attacks do take place, and are mostly resolved peacefully.
Nobody gives us money and weapons to expand our territory, and I wouldn't expect them to. If we were currently stealing land, I would expect someone to stop us.
Fact: there are people being born in Israel. Therefore, it is now their home. Whether or not they originally had a right to the land is irrelevant.
Building settlements on land outside the areas they have agreed to not intrude on is a clear sign of aggression. That kind of abuse of power being supported by Western countries almost unanimously is an injustice that gives legitimacy to "the terrorists". I am ashamed of my country for their support of Israel. Those of us who think this way and speak our minds are the only innocent victims of "terrorist" attacks. Those who support the injustice are merely casualties of war.

Not to mention it's the same government who thinks it can still win "the war on drugs" using a strategy that makes drugs more profitable.
That's awesome buddy. I'll still be chuckling about that one tomorrow. Thanks man.

Apparently it's Google's fault. Anybody in for some class action? :)
Funny, but true. My wife seems to be unable to log in to Hotmail using IE7, and FF2 & 3 had no problems up until now.
Meh... GMail has made it obsolete anyway. POP3, IMAP, HTTP, whatever you want to use.
Or sometimes then too
Fucking fascists.

These are dark days in Canadian politics.
Oh god.. No more goatse please.
A Paul Martin minority government would have been much better than this government that is determined to prove its worth, with no idea how to do it.
No, Palestinians are the rocks. Israelites are the nukes. Get it right buddy.
My US centric view of the world? What the hell are you talking about?
... As opposed to those who's faith tells them they are the chosen ones, and doesn't demand anyone's destruction but they do it anyway.
Have you ever seen what Judeo-Christian texts say to do with heretics? It's not pretty.

You don't have to. The current government doesn't listen to anything except what their friends down south tell them to.

Who cares what they put up with? They have no birth right to that land, no matter how much they believe they do.
Peaceful and innocent people are being killed in Burma.
Meh, Burma... Israel is where it's at. 3 Billion a year or so ought to do it.
