Unfortunately, we have many left leaning people in this country, as does the USA, who think President Bush is not the smartest knife in the kitchen. It reminds me of how left leaning people in the US and Canada treated Regan in the 1980s.
My own thoughts on Bush are I like him a lot and think highly of his intelligence unlike what ALL left leaning media in the USA and Canada say. I wish we were there officially with his fight in Iraq (note we were there as the third largest support contingent something our former PM doesn't want to talk about for political reasons - just called it fighting terrorism - I hate government spin). I am happy that we are giving a large military contribution in Halfganistan and will continue to do so even after the unfortunate allied bombing that killed our troops and the unfortunate land mine accident that also killed our troops. I am happy we are giving a large contribution in patrolling the Gulf. I am happy we are spending hundreds of millions reconstructing Iraq. I am also happy that we are working on the missle defence system with the Americans.
It is important that Canada and the USA be serious and solid allies for we have to work together on this continent - may it be trading oil for goods or may be for protecting both of our lands - we both need one another (unlike what a few on this board think). Just as important is the relationships at the head of each country becoming solid again. As tensions ease between this solid President and new right leaning PM, then, maybe, just maybe, some on this board will wake up and quit with some of their comments addressed to "all" Canadians, when a left leaning Canadian journalist writes an article.
