LET'S INVADE CHINA!

This bear was very moved by the speech by Defense Minister Gordon O'Connor. In Vancouver he said yesterday "We cannot allow the Taliban to return to their former prominence, to take over Afghanistan and resume their regime of terror and tyranny, to flaunt their disregard for human rights..." blah, blah, blah. Following such logic, shouldn't we invade China too? In the same way we bears need our ice thick and solid up here in the Arctic, Chinese folks need also a bit more of human rights. (Should searching Wikipedia qualify as a human right? This bear strongly believes so.) If we don't invade China, or North Korea, at least let's invade the USA (there's also plenty of folks there who lack basic human rights, like health, education, decent and healthy food, and fair trials in Guantánamo). If we don't invade these countries then Minister O'Connor is speaking pure fungus. He should put those billions to work for the environment instead of buying bullets and military airplanes to fight in Afghanistan. Canada will never win militarily there. Simply because you can't force people to love and accept Western values at gunpoint. Good, respectful NGOs are better than armies in these situations. They are more effective and cost much less.
As I mentioned few days ago, Environment Minister is now a certified dinosaur in Africa, and that stains the good name of all Canadians who want Kioto now. I wonder if she will be around in 2050 to verify the goodness of her own tricky little plans to save us bears from dissapearing. I propose Rona be a bear from Christmas to March. Let's see how she survives the melting of polar ice.
