Well, the war is on, and Terrorists and Human Rights Violators are lovin’ it!
Imagine being in China’s shoes. They have performed Countless violations of the Human Rights Codes over many years (”China human rights violations” returns over 180,000 results in Google).
They’ve started opening themselves up to the Capitalism of the West, by letting people like Rupert Murdoch set up monopolies under the People’s Republic’s jurisdiction. There’s also little doubt that the 2008 Olympic bid was bought, rather than granted to China. I wasn’t very gung-ho to have Toronto win the bid either, but I would rather have traffic horror for two weeks than be torn between supporting my country’s atheletes or boycotting the 2008 Olympics.
Now that the mighty USA, the country that helped create and host the United Nations, has turned its back. What’s to stop other countries citing this as why the UN holds no jurisdiction over them?
“The Great Country of The United States Of America doesn’t play by the UN’s rules, why should we?”
Once Dubya decided to go-it-alone, he undermined all the efforts of those peace-lovers who never again want to see a World War.
The invasion of Iraq is nothing more than a Corporate Takeover escalated to Political levels. Give a businessman the President’s seat, and he’ll treat the world like a company… except in the political arena, it’s called Totalitarianism. Bush is no longer anything more than another one of the bullies he claims to be cleansing from the World.
Quite frankly, given all the brushoffs and insults Dubya’s thrown at Canada over the last two years (and his HAS outdone ours, number and weight), I’m very proud that Jean Cretien in did not play the patsy and submit our troops to Dubya’s World Domination.
