Harper is the duly elected Prime Minister of Canada whether you like it or not. Your vitriol aimed at Bush and Howard is completely unsupported leftist rants, and while you are entltied to an opinion, you are also entitled to be wrong and are very wrong. You should pay closer attention to those you disparage. Harper has made it very clear that Hezbollah must release the prisoners it kidnapped, cease its attacks on Israel at once and recognize the right of Israel and her citizens to exist in safety and security. It is by far the clearest plan for an end to hostilities to date. Few Canadians share your views on the Middle East or your ignorance of international law, conventions and diplomacy. Many of us recognize the threat to liberty that modern terrorism and terrorist organization embody. We look to leadership with an international capability, but recognize that domestic affairs are equally important. Harper fills the bill and is a refreshing change from the self-centered amoral dithering of his predecessors. Few of us define ourselves in terms of being anti-American. Those who define themselves by degrading others and the efforts of others are amoral, rudderless ciphers incapable of contributing to society or to the wider world community.At the core of modern liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of snivelling brats. Well said West Viking! Deserves repeating!

Agreed! The thread title "Invasion of Lebanon" ignores the intended neutrality of the UN-policed zone being invaded. The UN failed. Israel is forced to do the job to save its own skin. The only problem Canadians have is getting used to a Prime Minister who 'calls it as it is'.

I left FD after two years because of the excessive homophobia. During that time I concluded that you and Pinetree were the two most level headed posters. FD in Spring 2006 was not the same forum I joined in the middle of the 2004 election campaign. Hi Lee. Wondered where you went. I too was banned from FD apparently for applauding and encouraging (on line) all the above banned 'moderate' people plus a few more. I actually formally quit 2 days before I was banned. It had become altogether too disgusting for me in every way. Great to see some of us 'banees' emerging on more reasonable boards like THIS one! jgb. Thanks for mentioning the top age of us 'reasonable' ones as 68. Haven't seen that exalted number for 9 years! And life gets better every year!
