I just attended a two-day conference in Qatar organized by the Doha International Centre for Interfaith Dialogue.
In 1967 the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), the Department of Employment and Immigration (predecessor of CIC and HRSDC) and the Secretary of State (predecessor of Canadian Heritage), and the Cabinet approved the creation of an international travel and exchange program. Since 1986, DFAIT has had the federal responsibility of managing the International Experience Canada (IEC) program.
When the Oslo Document was originally presented by the Israeli government to the Palestinian Delegation to the Middle East Peace Negotiations in the Fall of 1992, it was rejected by the Delegation because it obviously constituted a bantustan.
Western powers have achieved dominance over other countries through IBA (Invasion by Army). But before doing so, as democracies they must today build public opinion, gain approval from their elected representatives, budget for war, create alliances, and persuade the United Nations to at least approve, if not support, their plans. The alternative method is IBT, Invasion by Terror. It does not need any of the above and no body bags coming home.
The news of an alleged assassination attempt on the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, in October read like a first-class movie script, but the manner in which government political elites dealt with the incident signaled that Washington and other European capitals did not see the matter as a joke.
Dr. Saeid Ameli, dean of the faculty of global studies at Tehran University and the keynote speaker at the Ottawa conference called for the media to stop its general negative representation of his country.
As the threats of war against Iran have been escalating in the last few weeks, Zafar Bangash, Director of the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought, said the majority of Canadians don't want war, so we have to resist this madness that is being pushed down our throats.
I must admit that even a seasoned observer of Iran like me has started to wonder if there might be some truth to allegations of widespread anger against the Islamic system following last June's presidential elections.
President Obama declared, "Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow." That’s not a true statement. It’s missing five words. The truth required him to say all nations “with the exception of Israel."
First and foremost, it was not so much a foreign policy disaster as a flat-out war crime for which Blair as chief perpetrator must be tried. And so must his Cabinet, who carry collective responsibility.
