Terrorists?!?! No, just highly committed activists!
Oh boy. Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton. In one day. One tired puppy.

But duty calls, of course. So, Dippers and Grits are clamouring to knock off Hezbollah from Canada's terrorist list. While none of the three amigos in Lebanon deny that Hezbollah are terrorists, two of them feel its just not helpful to negotiating a lasting peace.

You know, they have a point. There is nothing insane about an armed militia running around a country with impunity. In fact, anyone who can amass an arsenal of weapons (on someone else's dime no less) and bully a country's government away from a swath of land deserves hearty congratulations and a seat at the table.

Hello my friends from the bunker-loving, off the grid, anti-government groups in Justice, Montana and elsewhere: you have new found support. Our natural governing party and its little sister party, think that if you can establish control over quelques arpents de neige, launch some missiles at Billings and call for the destruction of D.C. - well, you deserve some formal recognition. Maybe a seat on the UN security council? Get your act together, blow some innocent folks up in Argentina and COME ON DOWN! You're the next contestants on the Price is Right. What price peace? Anything....

Something you don't like about Canada? Blow something up! As soon as the Grits take over, they'll settle your grievances and honour you on Canada Day - anything less just isn't productive.

The debate should be heating up anytime now.

Once the conspiracy theorist guy chimes in, things tend to get interesting...

The bunker at parliament
Nice hysterical over reaction from chuckercanuck, but I don't see what the problem is...... Hezbollah has been a self defence organisation right from the start when it was formed in response to israels first invasion. And is an elected political party that has won seats in the local Lebanese parliment.

*shrugs* someone needs to tell chuckercanuck to take another blue pill.

Think of a name and make a post on the blog! All perspectives are welcome. Just keep it civil, more or less...

BTW if someone invaded my country, I'd look to the government and it's army to do something about it. I wouldn't start my own militia and start blowing up people I thought were the bad guys. And if I were the Lebanese government, I'd be doing my damnedest to sort out this group that's making my country look like a bunch of lunatics.
Bad press, ya know?

Funny how we mandate these countries to have democracies and general elections, but then if we don't like who they elect, we let Israel bomb them.
