Hi Steve, I find this refute as I have quoted unsuitable, it doesn't belong in intelligent discussion. That aside yes Plato is worth quoting as much as any contemporary, I will at times quote Jesus Christ, the Buddha, as well as Martin Luther King Jr., Patti Smith and Jack Kerouac, and no I do not believe that the existence of state is favourable to the enlightened evolution of humanity. It creates reason to defend with weaponry without due process of the laws that the state has instituted. It also creates an illness of ego called patriotism. As far as Mr. Obama goes, let me clarify. I have lost respect for him because he has turned on himself by catering to the forces he clearly admonished in his inauguration speech. If he stuck to his rhetorical guns your foreign policy would be inline with the possibility of a policy that puts humanity, compassion and respect before something as shallow as patriotism.Reaching back thousands of years to quote an elitist, like Plato, to "refute" facts in a real situation is for the birds.
From: See link: http://www.israpundit.com/archives/39431"Well before 9/11, I testified before a congressional subcommittee concerned about the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s 1998 warning that more terror groups were in Canada than in any other country, except perhaps the U.S. Imagine American officials’ discomfort with today’s Canadian security problems.
Canadian-based Sikh extremists caused the world’s biggest pre-9/11 aviation-terror disaster, the 1985 Air India bombing. Today, India’s security officials privately regard Canada – not India – as a font of international Sikh extremism.
CSIS director Richard Fadden warned of illicit foreign-influence operations in Canada. One or two provincial cabinets could be penetrated, he said, as might local governments. Yet MPs shy away from asking whether Canada’s politico bureaucratic system is infiltrated.
American congressional leaders recently stopped Chinese telecom giant Huawei’s plan to buy into the U.S. market. Huawei denies links with Beijing, but the company partnered with sensitive Canadian telecom systems and got a $6.5 million Ontario grant without debate. Now Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird dubs America’s strategic Chinese foe an “ally” and declares unreconstructed Beijing the political equal of democratic post-war Germany and post-Soviet Russia.
Canada’s growing Islamist threat is becoming an export, and American security sources say they know it. Convicted in Chicago, Pakistani-born Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana plotted against Danish publishers of Muhammad cartoons.
Canadians reportedly kill for al-Shabab in Somalia. Federal computer software consultant, Momin Khawaja, was a transnational jihadi.
Fateh Kamel’s Canadian group ran international operations. Meanwhile, a 2007 Environics poll found 12 per cent of Canadian Muslims – up to 119,000 people – could sympathize with a Toronto 18-type mass-casualty plot."
