Being back in Canuckistan once again I can't help but get re-involved in Canadian politics and other musings of a Canadian life.
There has been a lot of coverage in the news as of late with respect to Omar Khadr--and justly so. My previous posts touched on the Khadr case and my thoughts on the circus that is. However, today's news story about the case pitting my favorite all time Canadian against the PM--who in my opinion is not a very nice man--calls for me to comment on the whole thing.
My problem with this article is not the content but that people have pitted these two people against each other. It's not fair to Harper to be put up against Dallaire. Poor Harper I say.
Some of you are probably going---WTF?? She hates Harper and finds him repulsive on every issue and writes constantly about her dislike for this man. It's not because I like Harper that I say it's not fair, it's because putting Harper in the same league as Dallaire is unfair because he would loose on all fronts!
The PMO has accused Dallaire of grandstanding. Grandstanding?? Do they not know this man? Do they not know what a great and honorable man he is? Do they not know the size of his balls? Dallaire has done more for this Nation's reputation than Harper will ever do on the international stage.
Romeo Dallaire is the only man--other than a few of the men under his command--to know the difference between right and wrong. He's the only man to stand up to his superiors when morality called for it. He's the only man who cared enough to stay in Rwanda when the rest of the world turned it's back on the country. He's the only man to stay witness to the atrocities then had the balls--despite his personal breakdown--to take the men to court responsible for those crimes. He's the only man to call it for what it was--a pure genocide. For this he has won numerous awards and has gained the respect of many nations around the world. And Harper and his minions think he's grandstanding.
You realise that Harper and company would loose any battle against Dallaire. He is a highly decorated officer--and I'm no big fan of the military(but I like Peace Keepers), a highly moral man and a man of great honour!
Shame on you Harper and company for calling into question a man of greatness. You and your company make me absolutely sick!
