Bush is coming to Canada, to Halifax and Ottawa. Naturally he'll be met by strong protests and much angry demonstrators,activists and plain anti-American protestors (excuse the limited vocabulary). Of course he won't be able to handle all these 'critics' of his, and he won't be addressing Parliament.

People who turn out to these protests have my support but I think people should not lose fact that GWBush is not the sole perpetrator and mastermind of all his policies, but his administration (VP DCheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld etc.) and his corporate backers. GWBush may be ideal for portraying the ultimate but he is just one cog in the wheel of injustice that rules the world through military force, media perception and free-trade capitalism.
What I'm saying is, "Don't focus so much anger and rage on Bush that you ignore or forget all the other real causes of oppression and exploitation that cause so much evil."
