I woke up at a quarter to six this morning to catch an insanely early flight at an insanely busy airport. As I stumbled bleary-eyed onto the plane, I realized I’d grabbed my complimentary copy of the Globe and Mail from the hotel room. As I’m not a subscriber, I generally only skim the headlines on their site, but today I got to read the whole paper cover to cover, including Rick Salutin’s column, which of course made me wish I’d left the damn paper in the door.
Four things the coming war against Iraq is not about:
1. It is not about terror.
2. It is not about weapons of mass destruction.
3. It is not about democracy.
4. It is not about preventing damage to the U.S. economy.
Oh yeah, then he goes on to say that he’s tired of the equating of being anti-Israel with being antisemitic. As if this somehow has something to do with Iraq.
Okay, as I was about to write something completely scathing in response to his sheer idiocy, I realized that Blackbloc already did (via Damian Penny).
Sorry, but the blackblock response you link to is utter bullshit, using hurled insults, dubious evidence and painfully twisted logic in its unsucessful attempt to disprove the above.
If you’ve got anything real to add to discredit Salutin’s thesis, I’d like to read it.
