The media in Canada has given a by and large positive view of our role in Afghanistan. Journalists come in good bad and indifferant categories like everybody else. As for wishing to a return to systematic political torture in the West try a fifferant form of torture that can come from reading the paranoid meanderrings of right wing nuts from the states.

Hey, I thought it was only a scandal if it was Clinton's genitalia being discussed. Thousands of workers losing their pensions while crony-capitalists walk off with billions, no big deal. DOW going down like the Titanic, no big deal. Reforms blocked by the GOP, blame Clinton for proposing them. Who's winning. The crony-capitalists who have bought themselves deregulation from any oversight. When it is your kid who dies from an E. coli infection cause government should get out of the way of business which can regulate itself, don't blame Clinton. Or your spouse who gets hurt on the job, fired without recourse because the ADA has been gutted by the crony-capitalist crowd, and you lose your house. Hey, aint it great we got a CEO Prez? Who's winning, well it isn't the 90% of Americans who lost in the market cause they weren't insiders. The 5% who own 90% of ALL America's wealth, now they're doing OK. Had to retrench a bit cause of this reform foolishness, but the trust fund will be alright. If you vote for crony-capitalists, whether GOP or DEM, you might as well just burn the money... Nope, I am no Marxist, just another American who watched his portfolio flame out.

"Nope, I am no Marxist, just another American who watched his portfolio flame out." Just another American with aseriously distorted view of reality, more likely. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Yahoo being sold at $120/share with a P/E ratio of 0 is a BAD SIGN. Lessons learned from the late 90s: stupid people shouldn't invest..

Gentlemen may I suggest this is a discussion going nowhere in a hurry? Both sides have strongly held views for what they believe to be good reason, and aren't likely to change those views based on an internet flame war.
