“It is ironic that the U.S. would begin a devastating war,
allegedly in search of weapons of mass destruction, when the most
worrisome developments in this field are occurring in your own backyard.
It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, allegedly to bring democracy to those
countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy,
when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been
spent on projects about which both the Congress and the Commander
in Chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” – Paul Hellyer (Former Canadian Defence Minister)
