Now we know where Harper stands.

Stephen Harper referring to Israel's retaliatory actions as "a measured response" is complete lunacy that seems to either show his lap dog status to George Bush or else his right-wing fundamentalist value of "blow 'em off the map" revenge. Having a well-orchestrated military power, with the weaponry pretty much created and funded by the world's only superpower, murdering dozens of civilians and blowing up civilian infrastructure is completely unjustified. Has Mr. "tough on crime" Harper ever thought about trying to prosecute those who have perpetrated the crime under the rule of law that it seems the Conservative government is perpetually harping on about.

And this is the guy who wants to overhaul our justice system? Would a "measured response" to dealing with a murderer from Toronto be to blow up Toronto's sewage treatment plant? Or the Don Valley Expressway?
