When asked if he were in favour of Hezbollah being taken off the terror list, Etobicoke Liberal Borys Wrzesnewskyj said: "Yes, I would be."Brave, sensible words. The words of a realist with an understanding of the power shift in Lebanon that has taken hold in the midst of Israel's ruthless, yet ultimately impotent, response to the abduction of two of its soldiers.
He likened the situation in the Middle East to Northern Ireland, where "if there wasn't the possibility for London to negotiate with the IRA, you'd still have bombings."
"Hezbollah has a political wing, they have members of parliament, they have two cabinet ministers," Wrzesnewskyj said. "You want to encourage politicians in this military organization so that the centre of gravity shifts to them."
Well, not so fast. Here's Wrzesnewskyj on Monday:
Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj has denied reports he said Hezbollah should be taken off Canada's terrorist list.And they called Kerry a flip-flopper. Free advice to you Borys: when the CBC has you on camera right at the top of their newshour, don't bother trying to deny what we clearly heard you say. Next time, just shut your yap if you're not ready to stand behind what comes out of it.
"I've said all along that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and will continue to be," Wrzesnewskyj said. "Where I have difficulty is with the legislation that says a group on the list cannot be communicated with."
Leave that crap to the governing party.

Well, I used to admire Jason Kenny too.
Now that they both appear to be mealy-mouthed, hell with them.
Kenny went on the air today to attack Borys. Sounded a hell of a lot like Bush to me. The regular mantra. Somebody from the Conserfative party should have gone to Lebanon. The danger, yeah.
And now they shoot their mouths off.
Do you know that there are just few countries in the world that consider Hezbollah as a terrorist organization?
England, Australia, Holland, United States and ... Canada!
