G20
Brings Baghdad To Toronto
Excessively armed thugs parading
through the
streets, military checkpoints at
traffic
lights, police helicopters hovering
over the
city, a long chain-link fence around
the
center of downtown, secret snipers on
rooftops, urban
warfare
weapons, bomb-sniffing dogs, sound
canons;
this is not the sight of the infamous
Green
Zone in blood-drenched Baghdad, but a
picture
of what downtown Toronto will look
like this
weekend when the city hosts the
world’s
leading heads of states, and
government
officials. They are in Toronto for the
G20
conference, where they plan to discuss
a
global economic order, and new
austerity
measures for heavily indebted nations.
It is
expected that U.S. President Barack
Obama will
fearmonger about Iran’s nuclear
capabilities
and motives, just as he did at the
last G20
meeting that took place in Pittsburgh
in
September, 2009.
