Mervyn, God help you Canadians if you consider the Globe & Mail a right wing publication. No wonder you have developed such a contempt for freedom and democracy for the Afghans and the Iraqis, while enjoying it for yourselves, under the protection of the US, with a security force smaller than the NYPD. Some 10 million people voted in Afghanistan, risking their lives to do so, under the supervision of the UN, not the US. There were over a dozen candidates for President. And what does this historic and unprecedented election in a country that has never experienced an election in its history, mean to you? That the President was hand-picked by the US and is like the Mayor of a city. Can anyone have any more contempt for freedom and democracy, and for the brave Afghan citizens, as you have just displayed? Regarding your comment about the reasons for the Iraq invasion, I would laugh too if all I knew about the facts of the case is what I see in the supposedly right-wing Globe & Mail, or the even worse Toronto Star. Why don't you go to the UN web site and read what the resolutions said, especially UN 1441, and then see if you are still laughing. And I still haven't heard an explanation about what happened to the Iraqi WMDs that were never accounted for. Ooops! I forgot! The Globe & Mail told you that they never had any! Sorry. Can't expect an answer from you on that question. --- Mervyn Lobo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ########################################################################## > # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact > [EMAIL PROTECTED] # > # Want to check the archives? > http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/ # > # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to > reflect respect to others # > ########################################################################## > > Mario Goveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks for your detailed response, which made me > > feel like I was reading either the Guardian, the > > NY Times or the Globe and Mail, all left-wing > > media with an anti-Iraq-liberation slant on the > > news.
