when morons write letters to the editor

In light of yesterday's attacks in London, one must pose the question: How many attacks on Canadian allies are necessary before our government wakes up and begins actively fighting for and defending democratic values?*

Dear David A. Wishinsky, Willowdale, Ont.:

Perhaps you'd care to expand on this. Which democratic values do you feel our government is not actively fighting for and defending? What, in your view, could it have done differently to prevent this attack? If you want us to get involved in the war in Iraq, (a) why not come out and say so, and (b) could you kindly explain how it would have helped?

If, on the other hand, you are referring to any of (a) the sponsorship scandal, (b) gay marriage, (c) a triple-E senate, or (d) Belinda Stronach, then... well, actually, then I'm still confused.

*Sorry for the subscriber-only link. But that's all there is to the letter anyway.

PS -- if you could also tell us who we should be fighting and where we could find them, I would be pleased to forward your comments to National Defence Headquarters.

Otherwise, stop being an asshole and shut the fuck up.

.....??

so, the writer thinks Canadian troops in Iraq would have helped deter that bombing?

Not to sound supremacist but .... if 160,000 American troops aren't doing that job, what good is the Canadian military going to do?

I dunno what the guy's talking about. And you pose an excellent question.

Anyway, we have troops in Afghanistan, for all the good it's doing...

Hee. I fully second.

Added to that, what's a triple-E senate?
