Hmmm, very interesting. Return of the Generals then, yet again?

For, it has been said that people deserve the government

they get, and that government is a reflection of the people they govern, or rule.

So, the blind eye cast towards questionable ethics, over the decades, has exacted a very high price for Hellas, and ultimately everyone.

No need to apologize, for your display of candidness

is very welcome.

Michael, did you see the list of companies compiled by the NY Times which show involvement

in Iran?

It isn’t only about thugs in government.

With people like Andrew, former politicians like Monte Solberg and Sarah Palin, and current lawmakers like Daniel Hannan – change is welcome.

“…No doubt Obama et al think of the Iranian people the same way they think about the Israelis: annoying ingrates who pigheadedly insist on being independent instead of nicely getting in line with the marching orders from White House HQ…”

I seem to recall the same accusation levied against Ahmed Chalabi. Which just goes to show the lack of originality, when it comes to oppressors. ... See all content Hide content

2 things, Andrew. First of all, and I am willing to guess that Tom Brokaw unintentionally meant to give the Tea Party Movements on either side a boost, when in the 6 minute presentation of explaining

Canada to the United States, during the NBC run up to the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics, we see very early on in the piece these words on the Peace Arch between Surrey, BC. and Blaine, Washington: Children of a common mother.

In just over 5 years, it will be the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta. I purport that the Tea Party movements on either side of the Atlantic are doing the most to prepare for that auspicious anniversary. For, what does the Magna

Carta bestow upon the governed – you are more than sweepings.

These are exciting times in which to live, because I am confident that I speak for more than myself in that there is nothing like a good fight. The powers that be will defend their perks to the hilt, so it will be a knock-down, drag out affair. The winner, of

which I am positive will be the Tea Party movement, will be bloodied, but triumphant. ... See all content Hide content

#2, I challenge your point.

Peace, under current conditions is impossible. The likes of Wafa Sultan, Bat Yeor, Nonie Darwish, Walid Shoebat, and the rest in Araby who see life the same way – they have to be the dominant voices. So, how do we get there from here?

I still stick by my conviction that a preparatory regime is the best option. Replace the curricula, and teachers , so that one standard for all is the norm, rather than the exception. For, Islam is very good at dividing the world into the dar al Islam and the dar al Harb. ... See all content Hide content

This column, and others in the same vein, and the commenters here, and elsewhere, have hit a nerve.

Here is one counter attack:

#12, this from you, “I worry Saudi oil has too much influence over our national security.

” will be the case. Why? Canada is being targetted by the willfully ignorant. As Tom Brokaw mentioned in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV_041oYDjg Canada is the largest supplier of oil to the US.

But, when this is news in Canada: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-22884-Canada-Politics-Examiner~y2010m3d9-American-lawmakers-look-to-pull-out-of-NAFTA the result

will be what you fear. Plus, Venezuela will

have more influence. ... See all content Hide content
