"Measured response"? Has Harper lost all sense of perspective?

Our dear Prime Minister has referred to Israel's recent belligerence as a "measured response." Waging a terror campaign against 1.3 million Palestinians in Gaza over the kidnapping of one soldier is a measured response? Initiating a second terror campaign against the Lebanese people over the kidnapping of two soldiers is a measured response? What would the man consider excessive? Nuclear war perhaps?

Harper's intemperate comments do illustrate a couple of points. One, the overwhelming bias of the Canadian (and American) government in favour of Israel. And two, the appalling indifference of Canadian (and American) politicians to the suffering of Palestinians.

And thus the Prime Minister makes his, and therefore our, contribution to the deep and justifiable hostility of Muslims toward the West.
