  • "In Canada, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute, nor should it be," the commission's statement said. "By portraying Muslims as all sharing the same negative characteristics, including being a threat to 'the West,' this explicit expression of Islamophobia further perpetuates and promotes prejudice toward Muslims and others."
  • "The problem with so-called hate speech laws is that they're not about facts," he said in a telephone interview. "They're about feelings."
  • . "Western governments are becoming increasingly comfortable with the regulation of opinion.

    Beware world when it comes to speech promoted by America.... the Americans can say anything they want provided the utterances do not cause any physical harm to other American citizens. Amercans say; "Sticks and stones may break my bones but NAMES will never hurt me". So for all of you NON-AMERICANS... get prepared to be told where the "dog died" in America.

Who's Planning Our Next War? - 0 views

  • He failed with North Korea. Will he accept failure in Iran, though there is no hard evidence Iran has an active nuclear weapons program?

      N. Korea a FAILURE; he says. Here's a perfect example of OPINION bullshit. Buchanan must know something I don't know or he don't know what I know about N.Korea. When a rogue nation like N.Korea invites American technicians to help them remove thier nuclear prosesses then how can Buchanan say that Bush has failed in N. Korea. As of the 28 Jue 2008 , N.Korea has "demolished" the nuclear reactor cooling towers there in N.Korea. I don't know WHY Buchanan says that Bush has failed in N.Korea...so stay tuned in to Buchanan

      This report by Buchanan has to the WORST one that he has ever published. Is Buchanan wrong or not? I'm really puzzled by this report from Buchanan because it contradicts everything that I know about the Iran issues.

  • Israel lacks the stealth and cruise-missile capacity to degrade Iran's air defenses systematically and no longer has the element of surprise.
  • For the U.S. military to let Israel over-fly Iraq would make us an accomplice.
  • Israel would also have to over-fly Turkey, or Syria and U.S.-occupied Iraq, or Saudi Arabia to reach Natanz. Turks, Syrians and Saudis would deny Israel permission and might resist.
  • Would Iran attack Israel with rockets, inviting retaliation with Jericho and cruise missiles from Israeli submarines? Would she close the Gulf with suicide-boat attacks on tankers and U.S. warships?
  • Vice President Cheney is said to favor U.S. strikes. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Mullins are said to be opposed.
  • Moving through Congress, powered by the Israeli lobby, is House Resolution 362, which demands that President Bush impose a U.S. blockade of Iran, an act of war.
  •  
    I find this one hard to believe about N. Korea. Israel appears to be assured that America will aid with intervening in Iran.
  •  
    Is Buchanan WRONG with his analysis...It appears that he is WRONG and has made a terrible BLUNDER that aids the enemies to use his comments as propaganda against America, thereby degrading America's image in the wordl.
