Newsday published the following Letter of mine. It earned me 5 minutes on WLIE 540 Talk Radio (Long Island, NY) this morning (April 2), with host John Gomez, who read my Letter on air and was 100% on my side. The same Letterwas published in the NY Sun and Jerusalem Post about 10 days ago:
As a Canadian, I strongly condemn the decision of Prime Minister Jean Chretien to not support the United States (and its allies) in the justified war against Iraq. By adhering to the United Nations charade, he effectively and shamefully placed Canada on the side of abject appeasers, anti-American leftists, brutal dictators and Islamic terrorists.
History demonstrates that the root cause of war is dictatorship and its appeasement. Only a dictatorship can force its people to attack other countries. Only a dictatorship can extort money from its citizens to buy weapons of mass destruction and support terrorist organizations.
The UN is an inherently destructive organization – the worst enemy of global peace and prosperity – by the very fact that it legitimizes dictatorships and grants them the power to undermine a free country’s sovereignty and right to self-defense. The United Nations should be the next to go after Saddam Hussein.
America is on the side of peace and prosperity because it is on the side of liberty and the right to self-defense, which includes the right to strike against threatening dictatorships, especially if they possess weapons of mass destruction. America is Canada’s and the world’s greatest benefactor. It deserves our wholehearted support and gratitude.

P.S. My wife and I attended a pro-American rally in Calgary on Sunday. About 1000 people showed up waving American flags, cheering for America, and booing their Canadian government. It was wonderful!
