For those less familiar with the Star Trek Universe, would someone care to provide another explanation for Maxine Bernier's sudden appearance in Israel so close on the heels of Bush's "where's my legacy" Tour in Israel.
Once again, we are treated to the Harper regime parroting the Bush administration line:
"We will need to see demonstrable progress in (peace) negotiations by both sides, as well as progress in Palestinian democratic reforms," Bernier said after meeting with the Palestinian Authority's foreign minister, Riad Malki.
Fascinating, when Bush met with the Palestinian leadership:
"I am confident, with proper help, the state of Palestine will emerge. I am confident the status quo is unacceptable, Mr. President, and we want to help you."
The White House later said that Bush intends to return to the Middle East "at least once and maybe more" over the next year.
Of course, we don't hear so much as "boo" out of the Harperettes about Israel's conduct, do we?
Of course, I'm sure we'll shortly start hearing out of Ottawa the threat of Iran, after all, Iran's busily arming the Taliban, right? (BTW - somehow, I suspect that trying to start a third war in the region with Iran is not going to lend the aura of success to Bush's efforts to "achieve peace" in the Israel/Palestine conflict - it somewhat undermines any credibility on the part of the United States.
"Willing Slave" - to the whim of the Bush Whitehouse - what a lovely prospect.

I think you've cottoned on to the solution of how to to be 'civil' in the blogosphere with the neocons. Use Klingonese. Even when it's innocuous, it sounds bad. And full of spit.
I say this speaking as one who has used the same phrase back in the '80s to describe...well...pretty much the same mentality folks. Ah, the memories...
I feel so justified as a geek. Or is that a nerd?
