Jim C.: "Monseuir Manning rights..." Hello there, Jim. I believe the appropriate phrase here is "Monsieur Manning writes," not "rights." Unless you were being satirical by writing "rights" ('cause I am right, both politically and factually), in which case I tip my hat to you. If not, then I can only guess public education in Canada is as bad as it is in "Murrica." As for the opium business in Afghanistan, that's a red herring people conveniently use to put the Afghanistan war down. Warlords in Afghanistan have not automatically been put back into power -- there is a highway planned to run the length of the country, built and paved under the auspicies of the U.N., not the U.S. (and Afghanistan these days is a U.N. responsibility as Iraq soon should be). That highway will go a long way toward uniting Afghanistan and cutting down on warlord tribalism there.

Monseuir Manning rights: Michael Moore and his idiot fans certainly don't think Afghanistan was justified or "good," and there are quite a lot of them out there, which is downright horrifying. Dude, could you like point to a fact, or are you just shoveling coal for Satan? And if you are serving the Dark Lord, put your back into it, because this is just a lazy effort, and He is not pleased. Ask yourself, what have you done to improve the heroin trade in Afghanistan this year, you lazy slacker. While it has increased, it is not enough.

That Black Jacques Chirac! Is there no end to his nefarious shenanigans? Remember when he kept building a dam, and Bugs Bunny had to keep blowing it up so he could take a shower?

so apparently toeing the right/conservative line on everything is equivalent to exercising independent thought?

James Gore: "His defiance towards the Kyoto Accord ..." The U.S. isn't the only country. Australia and Russia refuse to ratify it too. The Kyoto Treaty is pseudoscience scare-mongering anyway, but its popularity and that fact that world opinion is that the U.S. should sign it shows that you can sell anything so long as it is seen to be saving the world. "Many people cry about America imposing its will upon the world. However, whenever they can, they cry for America's assistance. You can't have it both ways. True. As P.J. O'Rourke once noted, the people who hold anti-American rallies outside the embassy and those waiting in lines for a visa to the U.S. are often interchangeable. " ... nor will he [Chirac] allow a greater contingent to help out in Afghanistan (that's the good war, folks)." Good ol' Chirac - the heart and soul of Old Europe ... Michael Moore and his idiot fans certainly don't think Afghanistan was justified or "good," and there are quite a lot of them out there, which is downright horrifying.
