Talking of guns and treaties, Noam Chomsky comments: "... the world's hegemonic power accords itself the right to wage war at will, under a doctrine of 'anticipatory self-defense' with unstated bounds. International law, treaties, and rules of world order are sternly imposed on others with much self-righteous posturing, but dismissed as irrelevant for the United States - a long-standing practice, driven to new depths by the Reagan and Bush ll administrations." I agree with this, and I'm not anti-American
... although I am of the opinion that GW is a detestable moron ... Raygun was just plain stupid, barely qualified for his supporting role to a chimp. But the ordinary Americans I have met are, for the most part, great folks, much like us
. Whoever made the comment that Canadians are unarmed Americans with medicare was pretty close to being right on.
