Mario, As far as Canadian publications are concerned, The Globe and Mail is a right wing publication. The Toronto Star is left of centre and The National Post is extreme right wing. I would not put labels on papers that I do not read. Secondly, the reason none of the Canadian papers reported the results of the Afghanistan elections on their front page is because no Canadian is going to buy the idea that any person hand picked by the US, would also be the most popular politician in Afghanistan. And just in case you are not aware of it, the Afghan President is little more than the Mayor of Kabul. > To begin with, the stated reason for the regime > change in Iraq was not "WMD presence" in isolation > but UN resolution 1441, which was the 17th time in > 12 years that the entire UN was demanding that > Saddam account for the WMDs he had admitted having > in 1991. Your premise in the above paragraph is laughable. If it were laudable, I would have kept on reading....
