More on Protests
A fellow at work posted a message on our internal newsgroup inviting other left leaning employees to join him downtown to protest George Bush being in town. I am tempted to ask him several questions:
1) as a result of your protests, has the United States left Iraq?
2) as a result of your protests, has George Bush suddenly learned that there are people who are unhappy with his foreign policy?
3) most importantly, as a result of these protests, is Canada now in a more influential position to help modify American foreign policy?
This last question is most significant. America is more likely to listen to the countries that support them, than the countries who are content to let dictators have their way and then smugly assume our own more superiority.
