The advantages of Terror

Harper has not missed the opportunity to have the photo op, by bravely kicking off the press core from the government plane he has in Europe (for the G8 Meeting in St. Petersburg) he will take a 100+/- evacuees from Cypress to Canada. If he was truly companionate for those who have suffered in Lebanon, he might have given up his own seat, but no, that would not look good on the front page of the Post, much better to have it with the suffering than catching a budget flight back from Paris (where he is currently). CBC quoted” “’It's more than a symbolic trip,’ Harper said. ‘There is a need for air support in Cyprus. We believe this is the right thing to do and that's why we are going to do it.’ Well if this was true you have to wonder why the people who will be on the plane are “Officials said only Harper's wife, Laureen,”(the focus of the photos) “and a couple of his communications staff”(to ensure the press get the photos)“and his official photographer”(The taker of the photo) “will fly to Cyprus with him.”(as near to the setting of the photo as Harper is willing to risk). There will be half a dozen people who will have to spend at least another day in isolated terror, that is the price Harper is willing THEM to pay for his photo op…remember he is looking at the next election. Well Steve (Bush’s pet name for his pet) we will remember too come the next election.
