Being Fair – Maintain the truth
I do not believe in being balanced. They are not balanced, and it is our weakness, in confronting their propaganda, that has allowed them to not only win the debate but to frame the question; to define the terms; to set the tone. So I make no pretence to be balanced, but that does not mean I will not be fair, no dishonest. I will not fight there lies with lies, their obfuscation with obfuscation If you, the reader has found and seen something factually incorrect or intentionally misleading, let me know, I will check it for accuracy and clarity. With this in mind, I have reviewed my previous articles and have these updates or clarification.
I had said that George W. Bush (US President) and Stephen Harper (Canadian Prime Minister) have been the least active of world leaders in their attempt to rescue their citizens from Lebanon; that was not exactly correct. I have heard today that Australian Prime Minister, and right wing nutter, John Howard could not be bothered to provide assistance at all and asked Harper if he could squeeze a few Aussies on the ships Canada is providing to evacuate our citizens. So, Bush and Harper fall to #2 and #3 with Howard grabbing the #1 spot for heartless rightwing ideologue.
In the last post I mentioned that most European Nations had evacuated it people from Lebanon; that was not accurate. I have learned that other nations are still evacuating their people; they were less vocal in their support of the Israel’s invasion of Lebanon something I think wiser regardless of your opinion on the validity of Israel’s actions. So to date from the sources I can find, these are the countries that evacuating their people.
Those who have evacuated people Prior to 2006.07.## (the day of the blog) are : Italian, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Morocco and Ukraine;
Those who have plans to evacuate: Canada, Britain, US, France, Holland, Sweden, Bulgaria, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Russia and the UAE
Those nations who are sending people into Lebanon: Israel and to be fair, probably Iran, Syria and those who wish to enter the heaven of bloody religion.
IF there are more, let me know and will continue to perform by own checks.
