Buchanan on the porous border
Pat Buchanan always has a good right wing take on things, and his disgust with the US government’s lack of border enforcement is another example of his disgust with his government.
They should be treated with compassion and sent home. For if they are granted asylum, these gatecrashers will have made a mockery of the idea that we are a nation of laws. They will have made fools of the millions who obey U.S. immigration laws and wait patiently in line to come here. And they will have set an example for countless millions who are even now considering emigrating to the United States.
Pat would go nuts in this country…

Denial isn’t just a river…
Canada, as naive as ever, refuses to acknowledge this terrorist organization - as the US has. Why do I get the feeling this government would give Hitler the benefit of the doubt?
CSIS ON HEZBOLLAH:
Hezbollah is a political, social and military organization among Lebanon’s Shi’ite population. Its objectives include:
- the establishment of a revolutionary Shi’a Islamic state in Lebanon;
- the elimination of non-Islamic influences and the removal of Western interests from the region;
- the return of Jerusalem and Palestine to Islamic control;
- the disruption of the Israeli/Palestinian peace process.

Do the job for us…
It appears that the US is fed up with Canada’s denial of any terrorists within our borders - so it will do the job for us by keeping those born outside our borders in enemy countries well documented.
A Bush administration law requiring Canadian citizens born in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan or Syria to be photographed and fingerprinted when entering the United States was denounced as “inappropriate” yesterday by Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister and prompted one Liberal MP to launch a personal boycott of travel to the United States.
It may seem harsh - but the US is the only country facing the harsh realities of terrorism - no matter how non politically correct it appears.

Thanks Moose
It was definitely good to see the sniper case come to an end this week. It was very surprising that all the pundits were wrong about the disconnected lone white male loser being the perp. Surprise surprise, a black Muslim was the cause. This has not been a good streak for militant islamofascists: Russian theatre, 9-11 trial, shoebomber, etc.
Guess all the experts will have to go back to the drawing board.
The other fallout from this media avalanche is all the new stars created by CNN and Larry King. We have Chief Moose, who has emerged as a calm, cool alternative to the idiot blacks like Jesse Jackson. We have the new depravity index shrink, Dr. Michael Welner, who I am sure will get his own show based on his youthful looks and well spokenness.
If nothing else, this case has shown us Canadians that once again, Americans do it big and with more enthusiasm that any of us Canadians can imagine.

Snipey
Seems like everyone is talking about the sniper down south...with good reason. The latest gossip/speculation I’ve heard is that the gunman is the missing French operative/army sharpshooter, AWOL for a year.
Seems reasonable, seeings how only recently he’s asked for a ransom. He’s also a good shot, working from the woods.
He seems to be focussing on the D.C. area, symbollically targetting the capital.
As much as we’d all like to believe it’s the work of a crazy white guy, it’s starting to smell like international terrorism.

Left Wing on Zimbabwe
It’s refreshing to see the left wing realizes that the appeasement approach doesn’t work.Thestar.com/Zimbabwe’s forgotten struggle
Has this gentle approach worked? No. Things have gone from bad to worse.
As usual, our government doesn’t want to offend the offenders:
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s government has made it clear that Mugabe and his cronies aren’t welcome here. But Ottawa’s sanctions are less sweeping than Australia’s. Our criticism is muted. We are reluctant to demand that Africa’s leaders lean on the regime.
The violence continues as well, unabated.
During the municipal elections last month, MDC candidate Nikoniari Chabvamudeve was hacked to pieces, to intimidate others. Scores of MDC candidates promptly withdrew, the Zimbabwe Human Rights Forum reports. No fewer than 37 other MDC supporters have been murdered this year. And the forum cites 1,000 cases of police torture.
