It is clear that the DEA vendetta regarding Marc Emery is also a political intervention. If Venezuelans can have a government that looks after their sovereignty, don't we in Canada deserve the same? Why are we in Canada stuck with politicians who so much enjoy the flavour of George Bush's bathwater? Chuck Beyer, Port Alberni - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
