Stephen Harper plays with despots

In his haste to suck up to the United States government, Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper held a party at his official residence. This is how he described it in the National Post:

Last night at Stornoway I hosted a reception for ambassadors and representatives of nearly 50 countries that have now joined the coalition. I did that on behalf of our caucus, and I believe on behalf of the silent majority of Canadians, to tell them — to tell these countries and to tell their people — that in this fight we Canadians are not and cannot be neutral any more than we can be for Saddam, that we are with our friends, with our allies and with our own troops, and that we support them for freedom, for democracy, for the reconstruction of Iraq and for the liberation of its people.

I am certain he read my list of human rights abuses in the coalition of the willing, and took the despots in the crowd to task for their own lack of democracy and freedom. You know, being throrough and all.
