Good News Round-Up
As usual, these news stories were gleaned from offerings posted at the various blogs I cruise through on a daily basis. First one, Iraq Targets the Mahdi Army. High time, I might add. When the day comes that they actually execute the arrest warrant against Muqtada al Sadr, that will be even better. The warrant is still there, as far as I know, and he should be brought to justice for his murder of Abdul Majid al Khoei, one of those elusive moderate Muslims.
Second bit of good news is this: Canada abandons UN anti-racism conference; Kenney calls it 'circus'
I remember very well the last UN anti-racism conference when Canada's most virulent bigot-de-jour, Matthew Coon Come, attended and spent his time making racist statements about the country that paid for his ticket, both ways. The conference was indeed a farce, as was Coon Come's rhetoric. It was basically the nail in the coffin, as far as I was concerned. At that moment, I knew the United Nations was a complete and utter farce, and despite attempts to reform it since then, it is beyond redemption. As Jason Kenney states": "Canada is interested in combating racism, not promoting it," Kenney told The Canadian Press. "We'll attend any conference that is opposed to racism and intolerance, not those that actually promote racism and intolerance."
It is so refreshing to see Canada regain it's stature and an international leader willing to take a principled stand. Well done Jason Kenney!!!
And finally, it seems there are some Liberals and leftist who understand why Afghanistan shouldn't be abandoned. The Report by the Independent Panel on Canada's Future Role in Afghanistan was released today. Prime Minister Harper's statement on it is here.
The Torch has some good discussion of it. There's more at Support Our Mission. Although I am sure there will be a lot of howling and wreathing from the left regarding this report, I am generally very pleased with it and with the postion taken on it by some from the left.
Anyway, if you want to know everything that's wrong with the world and how it's all America/Bush's fault, return now to the Mainstream Media.
