POSTED RESPONSE TO AN EDITORIAL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
It's the "right time" only in the sense it serves
America's need for a costly charade of multi-country support for its continuing
dirty and pointless war.
How can there be a right time to exit a mission of killing
and destruction against a people someone - America in this case - just doesn't
like?
Again, proof of the pointless nature of this effort is that
every country in NATO has had what can only be called almost token forces there
and those often working under severe restrictions.
That's not how people instinctively respond to a genuine
threat.
But America has such overwhelming economic and financial and
diplomatic power that it is able to keep other NATO members carrying out their
covering charade of coalition force while a 100,000 American killers continue
invading people's homes, cutting throats in the middle of the night, and
dropping bombs on families - all while assassinating innocent people in
Pakistan by robot bombers.
We're supporting a gigantic extrajudicial killing operation
which has no resemblance to a genuine war and has nothing whatever to do with
justice or democratic values.
Your choice of words is so clearly intended to build up the
image of Harper as wise statesman, but that image is so false to so many
people, you only become laughable offering it.
