Letter to eh Globe - ASug 18th

There are two published letters on Suaad Hagi Mohamud. In the first one, Kenney says that the U.S.does more than Canada to help their citizens that run into trouble abroad. He omits the fact that the U.S., as a very rich and warlike nation, has clout, whereas Canada, who people like Kenney like to think of as a small nation of peacekeepers, not warriors, has none.

In the second letter, Mendelsohn wholly supports Khadr and chastises Canadians for being smug and having a "deep and serious" moral deficiency. Khadr, if given the opportunity that Mendelsohn wants for him, would immediately take away all of Mendelsohn's rights and privileges of being a Canadian citizen. Perhaps it is Mendelsohn who has a deficiency in both a sense of self protection and common sense.
