British MP Slams Harper's Foreign Policy
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's foreign policy strategy is a joke and is causing Canada to be hated around the world, British politician George Galloway said Monday. The Member of the British Parliament, said Harper's actions at the APEC summit in Hanoi show he lacks diplomacy skills and doesn't understand Canada's place in the world.
Harper had a difficult time arranging a meeting with the Chinese president, which many experts said was a snub for the government's continued criticism of China's foreign policy.
"The idea of Canada threatening China is absurd," Galloway said at an event sponsored by the Syrian Canadian Club. "The whole point of politics is to talk to each other, even if you hate each other."

Galloway has been consistent in his criticism of Bush and Blair (and now harper) concerning Iraq. Bush claimed WMD's - there were none. Rumsfeld and Cheney were convinced the Iraqi people would welcome them as liberators - they were wrong.
Although Galloway may be a showman, his criticism of the Iraqi situation has been dead on.

P.S. phill - you have to get back to blogging - there are very few on the right or left covering New Brunswick - with Lord now out - we need to hear both sides of the story in your province. I read a lefty blog from NB but not a reasonable right wing blog. I look forward to reading your blog again, even if I will disagree most of the time.
