(Editor's Note: The following is an Open Letter to Minister Rona Ambrose)
Minister Rona Ambrose is telling us why her government is spending millions of dollars Canada can not afford. The reason she states in the House of Commons is no longer valid The following letter asks her a question many Canadians have concerning our foreign involvements in the last decade...
Ms. Ambrose,
I heard you state in the 'discussion' today on Libya that we are bombing to 'protect the women and children'. Odd that you and your government are using the same argument that was used to justify us going into Afghanistan. That worked so well, didn't it?
Karzai is much worse than most 'leaders' in the world and yet we are killing and being killed to protect his government. Read what Scott Taylor has to say about what is happening to the women in Afghanistan, and yet we say and do nothing.
I am ashamed of what our country is perpetrating around the world. And everyone of you controlled puppets in Parliament bow to these actions.
Not all Canadians are stupid enough to believe the same propaganda twice. Surely you could have come up with another excuse to take over Libya? And there is no mention of the affects of DU that are probably in those bombs we are dropping. I guess the women of Libya will not be upset when their babies are born with two heads or other horrendous mutations?
How can our government be so evil?
I pray that you and your government will face reality and realize that no matter who kills the Libyan people they are still dead. Us bombing them kills and more bombings mean more death. The UN mandate does not order the removal of Gadhaffi but that seems to have escaped the attention of Canada. When did we become killers instead of peacekeepers?
NOTHING justifies killing - no matter which controlled government body orders it - be in NATO, the UN or the World Court. We are all sovereign nations or we are all subject to the same actions by others.
