Mr. Speaker, the foreign affairs minister cannot bring himself to say no to Bush a second time, no matter how bad the idea, and, on its merits, star wars is a very bad idea.
Until recently, the minister was Mr. Multilateralism. Now he is embracing star wars, even though it violates one of the most important arms control treaties on the planet.
Maybe I made a mistake yesterday. Maybe the star wars flip-flop is not a case of the Prime Minister kissing up to Bush, but rather the foreign affairs minister kissing up to the Prime Minister in waiting; or is it both?
