| That Emerson should accuse critics of this deal as being "anti-American" merely points to his sleazy knuckles-dragging-on-the-ground-character. It is a bad deal from start to finish and must be recognized as such. It sets a dangerous precedent for future deals as it is simply protectionist... |

This is astounding news! If we have anything ressembling a democracy this should have profound implications for the Harper government. So too should it for Bush.
I have been very critical of Mr. Emerson but it seems not critical enough.

| MacKay's word cannot be trusted on Cuba or any other issue. There are already plans afoot in the US to take advantage of Castro's failing health and initiate regime change there. Mackay has learned to mimic George's jargon well when he refers to bringing democracy to foreign countries. As with Afgha... |

| In "Informed Comment" Juan Cole suggests Israel has been planning this war for some time and that it was probably initiated from the office of Donald Rumsfeld. This is really a proxy war between the US and Iran with Israel doing the dirty work. It is very telling that neither Bush nor Blai... |
