Godwin's Law
or
Good analogy though.
Journalists from countries all over the world on one hand
<<British, French, Soviet, and US>>
and on the other hand
<<you>>
I wasn't talking about dictatorships, I was talking about the vaunted American "Freedom of the Press", which doesn't even rate in the top five, at least that is what the press tell us. Maybe the press feel that this <<a motion by the gov't to exercise prior restraint on the press>> is a problem.
I am glad to see you reinforcing my original point, leadership isn't about right or wrong, it is about leading, if you go alone it isn't leading. If the United States goes into Iraq without UN backing, they won't be leading Canada, according to Mr. Chretien. Don't confuse me with Mr. Chretien he is the one who said that Canada will be going along with the UN not the US.
This is sensible <<Britain and numerous other western European democracies have laws that control the "press" more tightly than the US does>>, I suppose you are going to back this assertion with a link where the "press" indicate this...
<<oppressive dictatorships>> ?? And you read this where in the exchange ?
Everyone agrees, it is about disarming Iraq, I am glad we are all clear on that. |
