…So much I guess for the Canadian commitment to collective security. How much we (and most of the “West”) have changed over 60-some years.
The irony is that in 1948 Secretary of State for External Affairs Louis St. Laurent was advocating the creation of what became NATO in light of the failure of the UN to provide collective security, the latter body’s fundamental duty. Yet these days the UN Security Council has repeatedly mandated the NATO mission in Afstan (indeed “SEEKS REINFORCEMENTS TO BOOST SECURITY”)– and most NATO members don’t really want to know.
Sauve qui flippin’ peut. So much for great ideals of internationalism…

Does anyone want to win?
I thought the article was a good thing but i guess kates point is that the people filed out durring his speech and didn’t even pay attention to what he was saying .

I have felt for a long time that the Muslim gestalt is anathema to ours using the word in its original sense of evil. Their belief systems will change us irreversibly, all the way down to our basic belief of fair play to our opponents.
Muslims are taking advantage of our fair play and the “useful idiots” of fame among us are taking their liberties to undermine our enjoyment of that fairness. Our Muslim antagonists have only one goal according to their bastard book which is to subjugate unbelievers. That alone is their true meaning of Jihad. That Jihad is aimed at us all, not just Jews. If the Jews go down then so do we.
If we decide to leave Afghanistan then it is incumbent on us all to forestall any immigration from Muslim countries and Muslims from other countries.
This is a hard nosed position but I see no alternative. Give me another way to acknowledge the problem and solve the problem. This is only my opinion, but it is nuanced in a thousand other ways too.
Well manewt i agree with you 100% muslims all muslims even the moderate ones if they can be considered moderate . You see even the moderate ones would like to see the west under muslim rule they want to see america fall they live with us and among us here in the west “peacefully” becasue they know that if they out breed us ,and manipulate our children ,and our laws like you stated …by using our own kindness against us our own tolorance against us they will never need to “go to war” with us as they will just simply assimilate our very own countries to there’s ratherthan assimilate to our way of life witch is a majority still christian they refuse to intergrate …they still where cheese cloth cloathing in the middle of winter and jacket’s only by necessity …they refuse to assimilate and they hypicrictical males in that twisted religion are allowed to have our women , live like we do enjoy our freedoms but when one of theres is persicuted under our laws they come out in drove and our own white pollitically correct politicians side with them it is a terrible and very scary sad state of affairs in the west …andi mean in sweden ,denmark,briatain ,austrailia,america ,canada,germany,france…you name it in any western cuntry islam is not taking over it is manipulating ,and using our own laws of fairness against us it will say that we are racist becasue the R.C.M.P. won’t allow a turban on the head of a muslim cop ..so what do we do we change our law for them why ..it is the law why do we constantly bend for them if they don’t like it they should leave and go back to there ass backwards countries and livei n there camel shit hut’s and read there fake and false death cult book the koran i agree the west need’s to stop 100% all immigration from any country and start promoting big famillies with in and producing children with our values and our belif’s even if your an aithiest you have to admit that christians are 1000% more trust worthy to promote our conservative veiws and values than a muslim people are abandoning chirst at an alarming rate and simultaniously look at the condition of the world ..what deos that tall you …read the bible this has all been stated so if you don’t beleive you may want to consider it becasue when peopel abandon christ and his word the world starts a moral downslide separating people from there morals and this is happening now at an alarming rate anyway …we do need to stop immigration here in canada especially or else we will bel ike britain in just a few years and we need to start having kids and we need to promote big famillies.
again just my opinion the left will tell me i am wrong .
Paul in calagry
Paul in Calgary…
You have made some excellant and valid points….
However you should really spend some time polishing your grammar, use spell check, and separate different points into different paragraphs….use ET’s excellant posts as a template.
Currently your product is barely one level above that of NEW….
It’s all in the delivery…OBOZO proved that by getting elected POTUS.
If this is how NATO operates against a rag tag opposition, thank heaven that there wasn’t a Fulda Gap scenerio.
