We must be counter-cultural," said [Michael Coren], 50. "The moment we're totally accepted by the secular world, we have to rethink what we're doing. "Most denominations are OK with the just war theory and they're OK with war" in some circumstances, said Kim Stoesz of Braeside Evangelical Mennonite Church. "It wasn't a surprise to me to have somebody disagree with me on pacifism." "Certainly I don't quote Scripture haphazardly to anyone, but I don't hesitate to say to people, 'this is what the Bible says,'" Stoesz said.

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

The only problem is that [Richard Perle] was in France at the time. (Tenet now says he may have got the date wrong.) Liberals have accused Tenet of acting as George W. Bush's whore. Why didn't he resign when he realized that Dick Cheney and his allies were distorting the intelligence? His resignation would surely have derailed a war effort based on the idea that Saddam possessed WMD. And everyone -- left, right and centre -- has accused him of being both whiny and self-serving. Tenet couples all this blame-shifting with relentless complaints about how badly he was treated. Cheney bullied him! Paul Wolfowitz criticized him! Bob Woodward lied about him! (In every interview, Tenet argues that he used the phrase "slam dunk" to describe how easy it would be to make the case for war, not the ...

The installation of a new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, last week is an indication that Japan is shifting towards the latter and that the shift is gaining pace. Mr. Abe replaces Junichiro Koizumi as prime minister. Mr. Koizumi was a radical reformer who shocked Japan's political and economic roots, inspiring new confidence among Japanese and heightening old fears among Japan's Asian neighbours, particularly China and South Korea, which see in an unleashed Japan the grim ghosts of a bloody history, the horrors of the 1930s and the Second World War that resulted from Japanese aggression.

When, two months ago, two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets turned away two Russian TU-95 Bear bombers approaching Canada's Arctic shore, followed in short order by Defence Minister Peter MacKay repeating a $9-billion plan (or is it $16-billion) to buy 65 F-35 joint strike fighter jets to "meet the threats of the 21st century," I laughed my socks off. At RAF Leuchars in the 1960s, we had a fully armed Lightning interceptor, with duty pilot, waiting 24-7 in a shed at the end of the runway, tasked to be "airborne, wheels up" within three minutes of northern radar picking up a Russian Bison or Bear bomber approaching western airspace.
