FROM A GOOD CANADIAN GENTLEMAN TO THE PRIME MNISTER OF CANADA: July 19, 2006
Prime Minister Harper,
I am appalled at your government's support of what you describe as Israel's "measured response". The civilian toll, both now and in the future, and the widespread destruction of the Lebanese infrastructure can not be justified. Both Hezbollah's and Israel's actions should be classified as terrorism. Bombing civilian residential areas, with the resultant deaths and suffering, because Hezbollah members may be among the population is clearly in contradiction to the Geneva Convention as well as any civilized morality. For Canada to condone these actions makes us complicit and no better than those terrorists we so rightly condemn. I can only guess who's interests and what lobby groups you are trying to please. The result of Israel' actions as well as Canada's and US support will result in more hatred of the West and more terrorists.

I should remind you that the US, except for their triumphant invasions of Panama and Grenada, have lost every war since the Second World War. Their foreign affairs have been, even for the most optimistic observer, a complete disaster. (Please refer to their success with North Korea, Iraq, Iran, etc.). The Moslem extremists must thank God every day for sending them George Bush. I hope you never please them near as much! Helping Afghanistan to rebuild their country maybe a noble goal for Canada, but being associated with and part of the "US led coalition" is a certain recipe for more failure and human suffering.

I must applaud the use of your airbus to save some of the stranded Canadians that you justify being bombed in the first place. I think you could have done a little better to have taken a regularly scheduled flight home from Paris and given your place to additional stranded Canadians. I don't think Canadians need a phony demonstration of caring "photo-op".

I believe I have made a serious mistake in supporting you in the last election. I won't make that mistake in the future.

I may have this all wrong? If you want to discuss just give me a call. I can be at your office in 30 minutes

The thing is this the people now control the media more than "they" (Isreal & America) know it...things they used to hide can now be transferred and shown and discussed more easily and rapidly, similar to sites such as these...let's be honest, two kidnapped soliders are worth the lives of 300 (and sadly counting) Lebanese lives...let's be honest here do they think we're blind...this massacre has to stop...the world must communicate and oppose this offensive...to the Hez and Hamas extremist, stop feeding them, stop allowing them to twist things in their favour, your actions are just as condemable as the Jews...but don't worry Lebanon will regain its promenance and continue to rebuild as they have done in the past...thats the people's greatest strength, and what beautiful people who continue to rise time after time war after war in their own home to rebuild Lebanon...
