Honestly, some liberal-left nitwits who call themselves Canadians simply embarrass me and all Canadians who have intelligence and are even remotely centered psychologically, which I like to think are most Canadians.
I’ve often said that you simply can’t embarrass liberals. They’ll say the stupidest things, lie, commit treason, purposely weaken our nation, commit fraud, steal your money, then ask to be re-elected. And liberals will re-elect them proudly. Without shame.
But on the bright side, the unintelligent liberal-left who have access to the press—oh gee that’s all of them—give me the energy needed to redouble my determination to fight the annoying little brainless liberal-left twits.
The Toronto Star should be—but won’t be—absolutely ashamed of its extreme fringe left-wing self for embarrassing and shaming millions of Canadians by printing tripe like this on November 16 2004, written by some unknown idiot.
My fondness for Americans and President George W. Bush is renewed and strengthened; and the shame I feel for some of my countrymen confirmed yet again. Way to go, Toronto Star—which is freshly confirmed as the trashiest rag in Canada. If I thought the editors at that place had any intelligence I’d have thought they were doing this as a way to reinforce people’s positive feelings toward America and negative feelings toward Canada and its incredibly stupid liberal-left.
Should Canada indict Bush?
When U.S. President George W. Bush arrives in Ottawa — probably later this year — should he be welcomed? Or should he be charged with war crimes?
It’s an interesting question. On the face of it, Bush seems a perfect candidate for prosecution under Canada’s Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act.
This act was passed in 2000 to bring Canada’s ineffectual laws in line with the rules of the new International Criminal Court. While never tested, it lays out sweeping categories under which a foreign leader like Bush could face arrest.
In particular, it holds that anyone who commits a war crime, even outside Canada, may be prosecuted by our courts. What is a war crime? According to the statute, it is any conduct defined as such by “customary international law” or by conventions that Canada has adopted.
War crimes also specifically include any breach of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, such as torture, degradation, wilfully depriving prisoners of war of their rights “to a fair and regular trial,” launching attacks “in the knowledge that such attacks will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians” and deportation of persons from an area under occupation.
Outside of one well-publicized (and quickly squelched) attempt in Belgium, no one has tried to formally indict Bush. But both Oxfam International and the U.S. group Human Rights Watch have warned that some of the actions undertaken by the U.S. and its allies, particularly in Iraq, may fall under the war crime rubric.
The case for the prosecution looks quite promising. First, there is the fact of the Iraq war itself. After 1945, Allied tribunals in Nuremberg and Tokyo — in an astonishing precedent — ruled that states no longer had the unfettered right to invade other countries and that leaders who started such conflicts could be tried for waging illegal war.
Concurrently, the new United Nations outlawed all aggressive wars except those authorized by its Security Council.
Today, a strong case could be made that Bush violated the Nuremberg principles by invading Iraq. Indeed, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has already labelled that war illegal in terms of the U.N. Charter.
Second, there is the manner in which the U.S. conducted this war.
The mistreatment of prisoners at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison is a clear contravention of the Geneva Accord. The U.S. is also deporting selected prisoners to camps outside of Iraq (another contravention). U.S. press reports also talk of shadowy prisons in Jordan run by the CIA, where suspects are routinely tortured. And the estimated civilian death toll of 100,000 may well contravene the Geneva Accords prohibition against the use of excessive force.
Canada’s war crimes law specifically permits prosecution not only of those who carry out such crimes but of the military and political superiors who allow them to happen.
Is this a joke?
The garbage continues at some length but I’m sure we all have better things to do in our efforts to crush these brainless wonders of the liberal-left in Canada.
