Globe and Mail reveals why we're the good guys

The Korean extortionist at the Circle K now demands $5.25 for a copy of The Globe and Mail. Seems like there's a social science experiment afoot to see just how much an old-school newsprint addict is willing to fork out for a paper that has been in a downward spiral for a decade. But it remains Canada's newspaper of record. The Saturday edition is even more outrageous. Tomorrow I'll pick up a copy of the Saturday edition for eight-fucking-forty on our way to breakfast at the European Bakery. Today Globe regular Andrew Coye had an op-ed titled "No, India killing a Canadian is not "just like" America killing Bin Laden." Andrew is a typical American Empire Loyalist. After spinning his wheels for a few paragraphs trying to explain why political assassinations are bad when bad guys do it, but hunky-dory when we do it, he gets to the nitty-gritty; " We're the good guys. If you don't believe that, you have a much larger issue..." Andrew, I am a Canadian who no longer believes "we" are the good guys. What we are is part of the chorus in Uncle Sam's cheerleader section. That's a fact widely recongnized by the vast majority of the global community. That's why there is virtually no support for Russia sanctions outside of NATO and the EU. After Viet Nam, after Cambodia and Laos and Grenada and Panama and Iraq and Yugoslavia and Libya and Afghanistan and Syria and Ukraine, most of the rest of the world no longer sees the US bloc as "the good guys."
