Who is Naziing Whom?
I do not want to seem to be obsessing about the PM. It would certainly be a most unpleasant experience. The problem is Mr. Harper is toping himself everyday in ridiculousness to make it hard not to talk about him. Today Mr. Harper claims and condemned the Iranian government for requiring Jews and Christian to wear distinguishing colours like the Star of David the Nazi required Jews to wear. If this were true, everyone on this planet should join in the condemnation. Unfortunately this ‘law’ is completely unknown to Jews and Christians living in Iran. As it turned out, the ‘news’ of this ‘law’ comes from the National Post with information provided by “Iranian expatriates living in Canada.” There is just no such thing in Iran. It is not news that the Post makes elementary, or even intentional, mistakes in its reports, but for the PM to make such mistake is ridiculous. Someone close to the PM should tell him to get his intelligence from better sources than the Post. Even if wee have a international spying agency that he wants, what good it is if this is the way he applies information. What is worse, when asked if he is sure about the Iranian law he just condemned, Harper would not “vouch” for it. So, our Prime Minister condemns a foreign country for being the next Nazi when he is not sure if that is the case? Oh, I forgot, he wants to be Bush-like, and that is indeed a very Bush-like thing to do. Maybe he will bring out the Bush-like giggle next.
