Stop Harper
"Contrary to Harper's rhetoric, Conservative values are not in fact Canadian values. How could they be when 3 out of 4 eligible voters didn't even give their support to the Conservatives? But we will only be able to stop Harper's agenda if people of all ages and from all walks of life engage in creative actions and civil disobediance," she says."This country needs a Canadian version of an Arab Spring, a flowering of popular movements that demonstrate that real power to change things lies not with Harper but in the hands of the people, when we act together in our streets, neighbourhoods and workplaces."Brigette DePape

Modern Lawfare
From the Jerusalem Post: Cotler warns of new strain in delegitimization of Israel
http://www.jpost.com/VideoArticles/Video/Article.aspx?id=221262
Prof. Irwin Cotler, the Canadian member of parliament and former minister of justice and attorney-general of Canada, is warning of a new strain in the delegitimization of Israel, what he calls “lawfare.”
According to Cotler, lawfare's five manifestations include the protective “covers” of the United Nations, international law, humanitarian law, the struggle against racism and the struggle against genocide.
Essentially, Irwin Cotler is saying that asking UN member states to abide by the resolutions of the UN body; to abide by international and humanitarian law; to not discriminate; and to desist from policies of ethnic cleansing is equivalent to the deligitimization of those states that choose not to do those things.
No. The rules are there for everyone to follow. Those who don't follow them have eroded their own moral legitimacy, regardless who they may be.

On tying knots and weaving suspense
From the New York Times:
As Crown Prince bin Zayed of Abu Dhabi put it in one cable: “Any culture that is patient and focused enough to spend years working on a single carpet is capable of waiting years and even decades to achieve even greater goals.” His greatest worry, he said, “is not how much we know about Iran, but how much we don’t.”
