Someone, somewhere, in a position of Canadian Authority, told it like it is.

Though I would never call any person a moron, I would call a persons
policies and directives moronic, and that's how I feel about Dubya--he may
not be a moron, but where he's leading you Yanks, and the rest of us along
for the ride, is moronic.

I can't help but to wonder if this person's opinion would be different had OBL
leveled a different target-- namely Toronto's First Canadian Place.

He may disagree with Bush's decisions handling worldwide terrorism, but
calling them "moronic" is mere demogoguery.  What I'd like to hear are some
alternate solutions to deal with terrorism that don't include a dependence upon
the naive solution of diplomacy (because I've seen how well that strategy has
worked in the ME)
