President Arroyo, Zookeeper

I feel like I am a dog with a bone.  I should just probably let go of this story but it’s so emblematic of everything that is wrong with the “War on Terror”.  A war is being waged that few in Canada will even acknowledge.  We are so comfortable in our mantle of Anti-Americanism that we fail to perceive the dogs of war are loose on all of us.  We think the great god of multi-culturalism will protect us from the terrorist’s jihad.  The jihadist does not seek inclusion but the capitulation of our will and the destruction of our society.
 
And then there are the allies who are not allies, but zookeepers.
 
I woke up and turned on CNN to watch Ms. President Arroyo of the Philippines make a very public capitulation.

“It was a time of trial and a time of triumph,” Ms. Arroyo said of the difficult negotiations that led to release of Mr. de la Cruz, who was abducted near Fallujah on July 7.
President Arroyo has just fed the crocodile.
