Big Brother or Big Bother?

Not going to lie, this post is probably going to upset some people. Oh and I don't apologize.

Well in case you didn't know, in the past week or so there was a G8 summit in St. Petersburg Russia where leaders of the 8 largest countries in the world met to discuss global issues like the rising price of oil and the conflict in the Middle East. I'm going to focus on the conflict in the Middle East.

Now at the G8, there weren't really any big surprises. I mean George Dubya and Tony Blair took the usual "I know it's none our business but we don't care" stance on the conflict between Israel and Lebanon and demanded a ceasefire. However Stephen Harper got in on this action too. Needless to say I think that most Canadians wish he would have kept his mouth shut.

We all expected the reaction that Bush and Blair had but seriously, what was Harper thinking? No we don't agree with what is going on in Israel and Lebanon. Yes we feel sorry for the civilians that are caught in the middle and all around I think we would all like to see a ceasefire. However who are we to try and determine what other nations do? You ever think for a moment that maybe that WE may be seen as terrorists? For too long the US has flexed it's proverbial muscle trying to be the global version of Chuck Norris. And the thing is that most Americans don't want to be at war. Did you hear that George? They want the troops home. He's taken the power that the American people have given him and he is abusing it. I can only pray that the comments made by Harper aren't a step in that direction for Canada.
