This just in: the self-loathing Canadians who have been protesting our support of the UN Security Council and international law are showing the depth of their connection to the Rumsfeld / Wolfowitz "might makes right" position and to the Bush Doctrine of complete dominance; when an Iraqi refugee addressed some taking part in the pro-war rally there, he was jeered and shouted down. The crowd's deep values were demonstrated by one gang that yelled at him, "Go back where you came from."
Innapropriate behaviour at peace rallies are given headline treament; at pro-war demonstrations ... well, that's what makes realpolitik what it is.
