Canada, Israel, Iran

From Sat March 3rd, ‘Globe and Mail’

http://bit.ly/zqfrV2

Canada has enduring links of friendship with Israel and concern for its safety, so Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit is the time to make clear our opposition to an attempt to bomb Iran into nuclear disarmament (Harper Stops Short Of Backing Israeli Strike On Iran – online, March 3).

The reasons are simple. We would create an Iran still capable of making nuclear weapons, but unalterably determined to do so. The moral basis for such an action, taken by nuclear powers against a non-nuclear one, is so far from existing that the policy must fail. Finally, there does exist a path, and only one, that can ameliorate the situation, which is the neglected path of negotiation. Our nation has a history of depending on diplomacy and distrusting force. This is the moment to insist on that tradition.
