`Cowboy' Harper part of Bush's gang

Dear editor, What a pity that just as the "Bush and the Boys" cowboy gang appears to be on the way to becoming international outlaws, a new figure has appeared on the horizon, riding from the west and projecting himself as a belated supporter for the old cowboy ways. Unfortunately, as the figure draws closer, we recognize the new cowboy as Prime Minister Stephen Harper ("Stevie boy") who wishes to join in the discredited gang, although he rides a little stiffly in the saddle and his hat is fresh out of the box. When Mr. Harper dismounts, perhaps he should reflect that he represents a country which has received international credit and acclaim for its peace-keeping activities. Peeing on war memorials is not the only way of desecrating the memories of war heroes and peacekeepers. Ken Rumley, Georgetown
