<<I don't think he (Chretien) is unsympathetic with America, but he is looking realistically at how you head off at the pass the continued hostility of some nations. I am not sure this can be done easily. For instance in the middle ages the Arabic nations were rich, and Ghenghis Khan was looking to expand his borders. You could say Khan was poor. So in order to appease him many Arabic cities paid him tribute instead of fighting. >> I guess that is possible that Chretien chose words to try to buy a peace with Radical Islam while not giving two hoots in Hell how they might be received here in the US. Problem is his attempts at appeasement will not buy Canada a single friend in the Moslem world but could well cost them a friend & customer in the free world or worse yet, result no free world at all..
