Invading Canada won't be like invading Iraq: When we invade Canada, nobody will be able to grumble that we didn't have a plan. The United States government does have a plan to invade Canada. It's a 94-page document called "Joint Army and Navy Basic War Plan -- Red," with the word SECRET stamped on the cover. It's a bold plan, a bodacious plan, a step-by-step plan to invade, seize and annex our neighbor to the north.

It goes like this: First, we send a joint Army-Navy overseas force to capture the port city of Halifax, cutting the Canadians off from their British allies. Then we seize Canadian power plants near Niagara Falls, so they freeze in the dark. Then the U.S. Meanwhile, the U.S. At that point, it's only a matter of time before we bring these Molson-swigging, maple-mongering Zamboni drivers to their knees! It sounds like a joke but it's not.

An iceberg, which is so big it could fill Sydney Harbour more than 100 times over, could be the drop in the ocean that finally alters global weather patterns, researchers say. It is predicted the iceberg, which was knocked loose from the Antarctic continent earlier this month, could disrupt the ocean currents, which drive the earth's weather patterns. While the impact would not be felt for decades or longer, a slowdown in the production of colder, dense water could result in less temperate winters in the north Atlantic, researchers said.

J’avais réalisé en écrivant le Livre des violences que le calcul moral qui est à la fois son résultat et son cœur ne suffisait pas pour informer les gens de ce qu’ils devaient faire, ou ne pas faire, dans tel ou tel contexte ; ni pour comprendre si leur action ou celle de leur ennemi était partiellement ou intégralement justifiée ou injustifiée dans tel ou tel contexte, et que les cas très complexes du monde réel devaient être débattus et comparés en toute bonne foi.

En travaillant sur Central Europe, j’ai découvert que dans un nombre immense de situations, il était impossible de faire le bon choix, même si ça ne dispense pas les individus d’essayer de bien agir. Mes méthodes varient selon les projets. Certains de vos livres, comme Pourquoi êtes-vous pauvre ? Exactement.
