When it comes to economic policy it appeared within the the last Liberal
caucus that The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien took a significant role
in ensuring that nuclear technology was spread aroung the globe.
Remember Team Canada, not the professional athletes, the Candu
Salesmen. It would appear that the war in Iraq makes a lot of financial
sense as well, in that local oil prices are very low in comparison to global
rates. There is a great likelyhood that the Germans alongside the
Belgians have been exporting the oil, even through embargoes. It is
very difficult for a nation that has trusted its allies in the past to
recognize that morality is culturally significant, and that very large
European multinationals have been directly effected by the embargoes.
Politically this could not be stated in that it undermines traditional
western alliances, truth be told, however, so did the 'fall' of the eastern
block, and the end of the cold war. The Right Honourable Mr. Chrétien
has the appearence of a Trudeauite, with a strong social conscience,
and a dedication to civil liberties. Unfortunatly he does not have the
figure (French for complexion) to sustain the chic that that culture
demands. The British aristocracy has a liking for undermining his
authority, as they did in the Trudeau era, comparing his presence
to that of the Rolling Stones. The Right Honourable Mr. Chrétien is
a strong statesman, who is too cruel unto himself, seeking approval
rather than creating monuments. It is not time to go to war.
It is time, however, to recognize the histories of European allies. Sadam
Hussein is not the issue at all in this conflict.
He does not control the price of oil! The Belgians in contrast are in a
strong historical position to inflate and deflate global supply and price
at will. The reluctance of France to support this initiative should be
an indicator that NYSE is a big fish, but a relatively young one, in an
ocean of Giant Squid, Mommoth Reptiles, and foreign monarchs.
