Talk about shameless exploitation in a feeble attempt to cling to power, Steven Harper is a paper tiger using fear and exaggeration and gratuitous rhetoric against a paper dragon (ISIS) to make Canadians afraid. Be very afraid he says, I am the only one that can save you from ISIS.
First of all ISIS is 20,000 religious fanatics, the Arab nations armies surrounding so called ISIS outnumber them 250 to 1, Jordan 180,000 troops, Egypt 1.4 million, Iraq 800,000, Turkey 991,000, Saudi Arabia 250,000, Kurds 250,000, Lebanon 280,000, Syria 600,000, and even if you don’t count Iran's 913,000 armed forces a grand total of 4,751,000 troops which in my view makes it in fact a paper war, in other words it sounds like a severe mismatch to me, not to mention a regional problem that even America is reluctant to get into.
Now you are going to tell me what horrible despicable people they are, yes they chop off heads, cut off hands and feet, stone people to death, crucify people putting the various parts on display around town, whip them to death with a 1000 lashes, in my opinion a fitting description of cruel and unusual punishment, but wait I am not talking about ISIS, although they are just as barbaric, I am talking about Saudi Arabia and they are supposedly our allies and Canada sells them armaments, and they hate everything we stand for, freedom, democracy and most of the most severely punished victims are guilty of promoting democracy or women.
How is it any different when our supposed allies do these barbaric atrocities, but when some other faction does it it is unacceptable.
This is a sectarian war and Canada has no business being involved, as the numbers show this is a local problem that can easily be solved by the local affected nations armies. ISIS is no threat to Canadians other than the fact that Harpers ridiculous posturing has made Canada a target, even so you have a better chance of being killed by lightning than being killed by a terrorist and the only threat to that statistic is Steven Harper as he changes Canada from being a peace keeping nation into just one more warmongering puppet.
