Canada closes embassy in Iran, expels diplomats.

Well, sure; he was perfectly explicit about it.

Lots of people who are offended by Islamist terrorism have no issue at all with terrorism in general.

Of course, it begs the question of why they pretend to outrage and sanctimony about "terrorism," when in fact they support and defend it.

Because at first those 'rebels' aka 'Freedom Fighters' were supported and funded by the west, not contested at all now (before I was called ill-informed for that) and now the same people are 'terrorists' because of these planned attacks on the two US embassies. So the west helped to create it's own problem to solve. And people still cannot understand that this is a problem at the same time they did not think it was going to be a problem. No foresight/forethought at all.

the mongol invasion was very short term and petty...[/b] because the exact opposite was true and this isn't exactly obscure info.

no another meme...mongol influence in the ME was relatively brief, long term influence minimal as they converted to islam...christian crusades much smaller in scale had a far longer impact still effecting politics today...

I think your quotes got a little mixed up

GostHacked . THANK YOU for saying this subject we Canadian's are thinking about. Why is Canada, Our Canada involved in INVADING a Sovereign Nation (Iraq) for weapons of "mass destruction" which never existed in the 1st place? Not to mention the fact the Only usage of Weapons Of Mass Destruction came from our side. Depleted Uranium dust from all kinds of weapons used by the USA using depleted Uranium ( there probably are other surprises) in these NASTY munitions scattered all over Iraq for the next, say 1 billion plus years causing death and mutations essentially FOREVER on a human time scale. This sort of weapon is against the Geneva Accord. United Nations have condemned these weapons. Do Canadians want to be involved in this? Do we Canadians really want to be dragged into another INVASION of a sovereign Nation (in this case Iran) who the International Atomic Commission (mostly influenced by the USA) saying "yes the Iranians are gearing up for weapons of mass....what electricity)? Only a little while ago it was the US saying Iran has No Capacity To Build Nuclear Bombs.... After Canada and NATO nations essentially bomb Iranian military AND the ordinary Iranian citizens into the stone age,who's next?. This does not make me proud to be a Canadian. I truly pray I'm the majority of what Canadian's think! After Iran what other Sovereign Nation will we Invade? This "War On Terror " makes The United States Guilty of Terrorism upon their own citizens by the very definition of terrorism the United Nations described. The USA has publicly admitted to raising their own terror alert for political reasons. This whole situation is terrifiying. Is Canada NEXT? When was the last time any Canadian Newspaper carried the news of Fukushiama Japan's 3 reactors melting into the ground plus one nuclear explosion happinging? Even Canadians are censored. It's time Canadians woke up!

I seriously doubt that Iran is the biggest thread to Canada's security. Although Iran might be a threat to Israel, I fail to see how that is our problem. Will this clear a path for Israel to strike on Iran's nuclear facilities?

Could this be the 'October Surprise' some in the media are concerned about?
