“…..if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties.. if that is what they mean by a “liberal” then I am proud to be a liberal. “: John F. Kennedy
The past 9 months have been very trying ones for this damaged soul. The web of lies being spread south of the border have infected the governing party in this part of the world.
Our military presence has escalated in a part of the world notorious for being unkind to foreigners. While the rest of the world has come to the determination that they should stay out of Iraq and Afghanistan, our shiny new prime minister has rushed headlong into Afghanistan, using the spectre of 9/11 as justification. For the first time since WW2 Canadian kids are coming home in boxes.
As I sit here, the magic box is glowing with the shiny face of Bush Jr. sharing his hopes and dreams for the future. It makes me sad, this is a man is obviously way out of his depth, and but for the intelligent people with nefarious motives surrounding him, he would have curled up into a little ball ages ago and started crying.
