NOVEMBER 2004
by Barry Stagg
The Canadian attitude toward President George Bush is perverse, bordering on the absurd and tending toward the lunatic carelessness that envelops those who take some satisfaction from inviting alligators into the living room. The delusional effect of Canadians, united in holding that the United States is more dangerous than Islamist terrorists, is like a farce played seriously. That was the way it was with Soviet sympathizers in the days of Stalin and the predicted coming of the world-wide Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Western civilization is deemed too powerful, too successful, too invasive of the precincts of rankly medieval brutes. It offends them. But this terrorism finds a greasy rope of symbiosis linking the homicidal proselytizers of Osama Bin Laden with the envious and conceited cognoscenti of this country. It is perversely indicative of Malcolm Muggeridge's Great Liberal Death Wish, this magnetic attraction of the comfortable and the benign to those who would annihilate the greatest Western nation in a foul gust of venomous hatred.
Apparently it is better that Americans should elect John Kerry as president because he will give up, in a thoroughly civilized manner, any pretence of actually punishing and destroying the thugs who attacked the United State on September 11, 2001. Of course, if Kerry wins the presidency, he will have to line up behind Canada in the beatific procession now dutifully and piously in search of someone brutal enough to whom Western civilization can be surrendered.
