for killing their own people. Where are the protesters, where are the demonstrations, where are the boycott Syrian products people? Just curious. comosun kudos to murray Glad someone spoke up. As former leader of the scary-right National Citizens Coalition, Stephen Harper was expected to provide some zany giggle moments. But sending a crazed rabbi to Palestine with the Brady bunch was beyond the pale. This guy really is trying to start a war! straightshooter Further proof of the Peter Principle within the Harper gang. Poor Canada, saddled with the utterly incompetent self-serving Baird as foreign minister. Setting aside the fact that contrary to his assertion, Iran has never threatened to attack Israel (Israel, however, has frequently threatened to attack Iran) and the lack of credible evidence that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, why would Iran attack Israel if it had them? Apart from the horrific massive nuclear retaliation it would suffer, if Iran were to launch a nuclear strike on Israel, it would also result in the deaths of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Palestinians as well as Israeli Jews and given the resulting radioactivity and prevailing winds off the Med., tens of thousands of Lebanese Shiite Muslims as well as Jordanians, etc., would perish. In short, for Iran to attack Israel with nuclear weapons would be self-defeating in the extreme. Why is it that Baird and fellow Harperites have no problem with the fact that Israel possesses between 200 and 300 nuclear warheads with missiles
