I can't post a response to you without someone crying or coming to your defense to shield you from my 'savages and ravages',

Um. I expect them to stop torturing and executing fragile old ladies because they don't like what they think. Too much to ask? Please enlighten me as to the hypocrisy here.

Maybe they learnt their hypocrisy from the US government?

Seems a little silly blaming the US at all costs, or perhaps you simply can't accept something simply silly unless it's connected. Was there no hypocrisy 300 years ago?


Maybe they were perfectly good with hypocrisy from the start.

Would you prefer they send a "jihadist" to blow himself up somewhere in Ottawa in retaliation?

They took a very peaceful approach. Maybe they believe what they are saying, probably they are just hypocrits.

So what else is new? Isn't it the same with everyone who builds a case in the UN?
Aren't they all a bunch of hypocritical liars with double standards?

Maybe what is bothersome is the discovery that they too know how to play this game of hypocrisy as well as the rest of them.

So what are you saying here? Yes. You're right. We kill photojournalists every day and eat muslim fetuses as a national dish. We were playing a game of hypocrisy by complaining about their human rights abuses.

They've learned that "game" as well as we 'have". Yeah sure Cedar. Maybe it's "bothersome"....and maybe you can just drop your it and tell it like it is: there's no comparrison at all. Maybe that's what's bothersome? That these people put out a completely false fairie tale disguised as a report and you guys claim "It's no different then when you do it".

I'll remember that next time someone here complains about non-existant US human rigths abuses --- as if that has anything to do with Canada -- I'll just say, "Hey they learned it from Iran".
Ahk

Moreover, the document concludes, "Canada's position as a self-declared standard-bearer on human rights has been demoted to a blind-folded-and-bullied follower of the new school of unilateralism and the axis of derailment of international human rights law."  
The booklet emerges on the eve of the UN's annual summit, to be attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier.

Again, now and 1000 posts from now until you answer the logic:

Canada did not join the US in Iraq. It spoke against it. How does that make them complicit? Answer the question or admit you don;t know what you're talking about.


Afghanistan was invaded AFTER their leadership and allies attacked. How is that a "war of aggression"?

You're not being logical now. Of course Canada didn't join the US in Iraq and under the Liberal government of the day it spoke against it and obeyed the wishes of the people of Canada to not take part. However, in place of taking part in the Iraq war, Canada condescended (IMO) to take part in a peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan. I did not condone that at the time because I realized that it was really just US appeasement for our refusal to become part of the coalition of the duped. As of course 9/10 of the rest of the world also recognized their Iraq war. Now, under the Harper gov it's turned into a socalled peacemaking mission which is truly US appeasement IMO.

You seem to want to discount the first Gulf war as a factor in the reasons why we now have an Iraq war and indeed one of the prime reasons the US experienced the revenge attacks of 911. I understand that it's very difficult for some people to admit that it was revenge but on this issue, the emperor (empire) truly has no clothes. Remember when it was because they were jealous of our television sets, etc. LOL

I think that's at least a start in answering your questions. And BTW, are you feigning anger in an effort to strengthen your argument? If that's the case you should understand that it's not selling very well. Let's all try a little harder shall we?




Um you have yet to provide a reason....all you have done so far is show us you can not deal with a simple matter without bringing the US into it. I know you’d like to talk about Mahar or anything at all that is outside this incident so that you don’t have to deal with these facts alone. Mahar has nothing to do with this. The war on terror has nothing to do with it. The incident is isolated and you forgot all about these motions in the UN over this photojournalist  and instead insist in your delusion that this is only coming about today because it’s fashionable to pick on Iran….you also refuse to accept that Iran made a stink here not us. Is it part of our big plan to demonize Iran by forcing them to publish an absurd report? Address that issue if you can. Or any relevant issue for that matter.

I ask again: How is Canada complicit? I ask again how is this issue -- the UN motions against Iran -- which were instigated before your hated Harper government "meddleing" in their affairs on behalf of the US?




It is plain you are just making this up as you go along and trying your hardest to make the round peg fit into the round hole. If you simply refuse to awknowlege the plain facts of this incident despite all the plain obvious right in front of you and instead insist it is some kind of secret kahoots between the US and Canada to demonize Iran with out any decnt proof of this and against all the evidence to the contrary -- that you simply refuse to accept or listen to ---

Then it is you who is quite obviously brainwashed and not the least bit interested in the facts or debate.




Ahk

So my reasonable question is: how is Canada playing a game of hypocrisy here?

Cedar Pride! I just realized that you may truly be from Lebanon. Are you writing from Lebanon? What a great opportunity to hear comments on the issues I am interested in from a person up close. I just hope you feel free to tell it like it is and not be afraid of repercussions against you.

lol.

Yes repercussions are thrown against her all the time.


What did I tell you Cedar? No sooner than I write a response to you and 'boom', someone needs to come in and "protect" you.




Ahk

The fact in question is that it was a revenge attack on 911.

I understand that accepting that 911 was a revenge attack is difficult for you to do but it's absolutely necessary in order to make any progress.
