I hope they sic that John Bolton on you at the UN!  Thank goodness he's going to be holding court soon!

Two thoughts:

1.  He certainly was not pulling any punches.

2.  Axworthy, though he is now "out of politics" is a Liberal Party lackey through and through.  He and the Prime Minister are, if not buddies, closely linked with vested interest in each other and the words that come from each others' mouths.  In fact, I would not be surprised if one day we see Axworthy running for PM.  Although both Axworthy and Martin will deny it 'til the cows come home, you can bet that that letter was vetted through the PM's office before it made it to press.

That is, Axworthy is doing his job as Martin's bulldog, and Bush and KindaSleezy are well aware of that fact.

It's a pretty undiplomatic nasty little diatribe.

It traipses into racism, too...

All grown up thank you very much... some illustrations to prove the point!

I'd hit it.

Sure, that doesn't match the gargantuan, multi-billion-dollar deficits that your government blithely runs up fighting a "liberation war" in Iraq, laying out more than half of all weapons expenditures in the world, and giving massive tax breaks to the top one per cent of your population while cutting food programs for poor children. Just chalk that up to a different sense of priorities about what a national government's role should be when there isn't a prevailing mood of manifest destiny.

This guy just says what many Americans are in denial about and what other countries are afraid to say. This guy has my respect for having the balls to tell it as it is. God bless him!

I hear there are a lot of those strange talking frenchies in Canada. Yeah, Canada seems way better than here right now, that's for sure!

I dont get it.

I suppose "Master" can only be used in a sense relating to slavery.

Lets see what the OED has to say about the word:

A person or thing having control or authority.

A person (predominantly, a man) having authority, direction or control over the action of another or others; a director, leader, chief, commander; a ruler, governor.

A person who has the power to control, use, or dispose of something at will. Usu. with of.
In extended use: something (more or less personified) with power over a person or people.

There are a few definitions that seem to fit Dubya.  And since the man himself says that he hears from The Big Sky Fairy, divinely guided doesnt sound too far off  the mark.

Ouch. Truth is painful

Actually, and I could be wrong on this, I think Axworthy was a member of the Chretien faction, which is about as chummy with the Martinites as the most rabid Albertan conservatives.

He's actually an interesting guy, and I've heard tell that Martin wishes he'd shut the hell up, because this sincerity of his beliefs stands in sharp contrast to Canada's actual foreign policy, which is not nearly so touchy-feely as most Canadians like to think.

On the other hand, was he in the cabinet during the Rwandan genocide? Was he one of the pukeholes who refused to call it a genocide? I can't remember.
