Will Harper be expected to help with Iran?

Harper may not have had time to read it himself, but the foreign affairs people in Ottawa’s Pearson Building will most certainly be aware of the long article by Seymour Hersh in the latest edition of the New Yorker magazine. Hersh reveals an impressive array of sources and reports that suggest the United States is planning to invade Iran.
Most chilling of all, Hersh reports that there is an active debate within the administration as to whether the Americans should use tactical nuclear weapons to wipe out Iran’s nuclear installations.
The reason Harper should be concerned is that if the Americans commit themselves to action against Iran, they are obviously going to be looking for friends and supporters. Bush would remember that when the Chrétien government refused Canada’s support for the invasion of Iraq three years ago, Harper was sharply critical. With a change in Ottawa, Bush might expect Canadian support against Iran.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
