#22 Hell, Gentle, I don't think arabs should even be allowed plastic sporks. It's too damn dangous for yawl to have have sharp objects. I think it's time to ban scissors from most of the ME. |

#21 The French left when I was a little kid. I am 52 now. So that was a long time ago. Those dead folks are all Muslims killed by Muslims. We are not talking about the French. The French have there own pile of dead to account for. Some 40 years ago. |

#20 Ask the French if it's fair! They are the Arab world's big buddy now. |

#19 More than 1000 000 Algerians were killed in the fight to get thier country back from the french. Do you think that is fair? |

#18 "They may be afraid of a day in future where those weapons will be used against them." Criminy! Surface based anti-missle missles! They are specifically designed for that purpose, useless for anything else. You idjit! "Muslims are not allowed to point anything that could be weapon at another muslim" Yeah, that works! Ask about 100,000 Algerians about that. Ahm, sorry, you can't, they've been shot, disemboweled and dismembered. |

#17 They may be afraid of a day in future where those weapons will be used against them. I mean, even if it is a person you completley trust. You wouldn't like him to point a gun at you, right? Even if the trigger is in place. [Just so you don't turn it into a muslim joke: Muslims are not allowed to point anything that could be weapon at another muslim] |

#16 Well it ain't. It's surface based anti-missle missles True enough but neither Cdn. nor American politicians have done much to explain the system to JQ Public. Reagan's Star Wars concept got far more publicity, much of it negative, and that is what sticks in people's minds. She's a stupid cow. Well, we have a few of those critters ourselves on this side of the border. |

#15 Well it ain't. It's surface based anti-missle missles, like the ones that used to ring Moscow only brought current. She's a stupid cow. |

#14 I answered your question. They think it's the Star Wars thing. |

#13 Rex, None of that answers my question. Smoke still. Poll driven crap? Votes? Why would Canadiens be afraid of US defense policy. No dog there! |

#12 Why would some Canadien MP care whether the US develops anti-missle defense technology. Whats in it for her? Votes. The missile defense program has not been explained very well in the past by Jean Chretien. Alot of Canadians confuse this new program with the costly Star Wars weaponization of space program that was promoted in the US and Canada 20 years ago. Because of this confusion, Parrish is pulling a typical politician trick - she has tested the wind and has figured out that at this point in time, the missile defense program is hugely unpopular with the majority of Canadians, mainly because they don't know what it is. But Canadians are not the only ones in the dark-if you were to question a sampling of Americans in major cities here, you would get similarly confused responses. What foreign power would be in agreement with her stance? Perhaps a China, NK, or maybe France? Sounds like Parrish is a paid for stooge. I think you are positing conspiracy theories that do not exist. Parrish is an opportunist. She hears that the majority of Canadians and her constituents specifically are negative about the missile the defence system, so she goes with the flow. No need to dig too deeply to get a reason for Parrish's position. She's a small town politician-I sincerely doubt she "takes lunch" with international "movers and shakers." |

#11 Gentle, from what I know, if you post a comment before you post article, it takes longer. Try posting your article before any comments. I saw an article by you the next day once before. Ask yourself a question. Why would some Canadien MP care whether the US develops anti-missle defense technology. Whats in it for her? Why does she not want the US to have a defense capability that doesn't effect Canada? Would actually help Canada. What foreign power would be in agreement with her stance? Perhaps a China, NK, or maybe France? Sounds like Parrish is a paid for stooge. |

#10 Gentle-- Carolyn Parrish isn't just stupid, she's a coward too. Arabs are dumb. That's "reciprocity," honey. |

#3 I ask Canada to to remove her as am member of parliament. All they have to do is kick her out of their party and she is gone. It will not happen. |

#2 I like her. |
Posted by: Gentle 2004-08-28 4:24:24 AM |
#1 Why bother? Leave her where she is, and let the public vote her ass out if they don't like her. If they want to keep her as their representative, well then, any controversy she creates will be their damn problem. |
