A matter of judgment

Then :
When the National Post ran a story back in May claiming that Iran had passed a law requiring Jews to wear coloured labels in public, Harper came out of the gate guns ablazing :

"Unfortunately, we've seen enough already from the Iranian regime to suggest that it is very capable of this kind of action," Harper said.
"We've seen a number of things from the Iranian regime that are along these lines . . .
"It boggles the mind that any regime on the face of the Earth would want to do anything that could remind people of Nazi Germany."

Guilty as charged by NaPo.
Unfortunately for Harper, that story was complete bullshit, a bogus plant from an American neo-con shill.

Now :
When UN Secretary General Kofi Annan charged Israel with "deliberately targeting" the clearly marked UN post with six hours of shelling despite ten phone calls asking them to stop - which were answered each time with promises that they would do so - until a direct hit wiped out the post entirely, Harper has doubts.:

"Harper says he seriously doubts Israeli forces deliberately targeted a UN post in south Lebanon, killing a Canadian and three other unarmed observers, and wants to know why the station was even being manned in the midst of what amounts to a war."

Or as Rusty Idols so eloquently puts it : (satirically, I might add)

"Bitch shouldn't have been wearing those 'come fuck me' pumps after dark in that neighborhood. It's her fault and she probably wanted it."

Yeah, I'm totally fine with having a PM whose unquestioning support of all things National Post extends to his blaming Canadian UN peacekeeper Major Paeta Hess-Von Krudener for getting killed if it makes Israel look bad and puts him on the spot with his neo-con buddies.
