Staying out of the fray...

By Grace

Interesting, interesting...

Surely I can't be the only one who noticed this, but while a majority of Western countries (including England, Italy, France, and so forth) were actively speaking out in opposition to capital punishment, as per their national policies, both before and after Saddam Hussein's execution, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been noticeably silent on the subject.

While Foreign Affairs has stated that "Canada joins other nations in supporting the desire of Iraq's leaders and citizens for peaceful and prosperous future," there was no mention of Hussein's execution.

Sometimes, what is not said speaks volumes.
