Peacekeepers
There's a big thing on about peacekeepers now in the middle east. We have:
Jill Carroll: The sensible one. She got kidnapped and says her captors are horrible people who threatened her with death if she didn't say anti-american slogans. She wasn't big on the "Anti-america" angle before she was kidnapped and isn't big on it now.
James Loney: He's not too keen on the kidnappers but isn't exactly a usa cheerleader. He's been criticized for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. He thanked the forces for freeing him.
Harmeet Singh Soden: Total idiot. He's on the side of the people that kidnapped him. Go team Go. He is so disgusted with Canada having troops in afghanistan that he's planning to emigrate to New Zealand. What a complete fool.
So here we have three different responses to a crisis. Jill came out looking the best, criticizing her captors. Loney took a held back approach, realizing that if his captors knew he was gay they would probably have skinned him alive. Soden's approach of criticizing his rescuers is completely insane.
