Rather than merely expressing his emotional response to the cartoons in the November 2001 issue, Professor Clive Seligman (Cartoon Use Criticized, Bulletin, December 2001) should explain why violations of fundamental rights and freedoms in Bill C-36 and the hegemony of the WTO are not in any way analogous to terrorism and dictatorship.

His moral outrage is unconvincing. He needs to argue that C-36, which authorizes state terror along the lines once practiced by Pinochet's Chile and the WTO, which does in fact dictate the social, political and economic policies of many countries today, is indeed trivial in comparison to other examples of terror and dictatorship.
