How is a Canadian journalist a "traitor"? The column you refer to seems to say most of the things I have heard the extreme right wing saying:

Unfortunately, Mr. Chrétien is a little muddled in his analysis of where America went wrong. He believes the problem is that the U.S. is too rich and greedy, and that it's a big bully, and that it projected its power on the world too much.

But the real problem is that the U.S. went to sleep. It tolerated tyrannies, betrayed its friends, fatally weakened its intelligence capability, and willfully ignored the mounting evidence of a sophisticated state-sponsored terror network. It was guilty of monumental cultural arrogance and moral cowardice. It thought those guys with beards and turbans were just harmless crazies, and the genocide of the Kurds was of no importance, and the Saudis were their friends. The problem is that the U.S. completely failed to project its power where it mattered most.
