• I think the point of Walkom's column (btw he's a pal) is not the Bush/Hitler comparison, but the similarities between Canadian/US relations and those of Romania/Austria/Switzerland and Germany pre and during WWII. I think most Canadians feel like Chretien did- better to be Switzerland than Romania. Unrelated to this, I hope your Dad has a complete recovery, best wishes.

• I agree, I think the article makes sense in that light.

  btw, one difference between Bush and Hitler: unlike Hitler, Bush grew up in a family with lots of cash, some of which orignated with ... er, Hitler.

• I finally stopped checking the LGF site because it made me feel queasy. The contributors don't seem to understand that one can disagree with another's opinions and/or actions in a civilized manner. Grave dancing (Rachel Corrie, Edward Said) is terribly low.

  I do think that the International Solidarity folks are naive, ill-informed and irresponsible - even dangerous (eg, the British-born terrorists who blew up a popular pub in Tel Aviv last year, killing a friend of mine among several others, entered Israel from Gaza with the help of the ISM) - but I certainly don't wish them physical harm.
