Shooting in parliament building.

For the most part I agree with you. But this is a place canada does not need to be.

If your idea is to cut out the cancer. Good luck.

Canada should go where there is a better outcome.

The middle east is one ****ed up area.

I say let's put them on a wheat diet. Fatten them up slow them down and keep the wasted trillions at home where the results are definitely more productive.

I believe the reason we sent planes and people is to show support for our good friend America. America has faults, lots of them, but they also police the world.
They are without a doubt the most powerful military in the world. I think it a good idea to keep them on our side. Sometimes you have to back a friend even if you think their actions are unwise.
At the same time, I was very happy we stayed out of the Iraq thing. There were no weapons of mass destruction, it was Bush's personal vendetta.

I didn't know we were talking about the Bushes still. I thought we were talking about Canada? No? We sent planes because there is a strong world wide backing. In other areas there has not been.

I dunno, I am good to agree to disagree.

I just do not think we in Canada somehow are after oil. Worse, I do not think we somehow deserve this. Is that what this is? Because we sent planes to Iraq to help out, we get attacked from MUSLIMS from within?

Do we deserve these attacks because we have sent help for folks surrounded on a mountaintop and systemically slaughtered?

It is about Islam, not oil. We got a lot of oil. America has a lot of oil.

I think some are downplaying the seriousness of the Islamic factor here. It is a very serious deal. Is it not obvious?

All I'm trying to point out is this is the bad hangover from George W Bush's action.

The question everybody should be asking if Saddam wasn't taken out, WOULD this be happening??? So it is very important to talk about the Bush's.

For me, as long as there is Islamic fundamentalism, (nazism, fascism, fill in the blank here), the slaughter of innocents will go on, Hussein or no Hussein, Hitler or no Hitler. Mussolini, or no Mussolini.

Standing idly by while idiots kill innocents is IMO cowardly and inhumane.

I guess if it were about oil, lets just say Iran has more than Iraq. Why do we not go there? Or Venezueala, the motherload of oil. We should send troops there to secure oil for the americans, seeing as this is about "oil".

I wonder how the parents of the brave American soldiers who died in Iraq would answer your question about going after Hussein?? Or all the others who came back who are suffering physically and mentally. All for what????

[freewheat]

You act as though they were FORCED to join the army. They were not. I presume that some had reservations when going over. I would presume many were stoic and strong, and felt they had a cause to fight for. I would presume most of their parents are EXTREMELY proud of their boys and girls.

I am not certain what this all has to do with the shooting on the hill, ISIS, and sending a measly 6 military jets to help out??

We are not sending troops.

My comment was not threatening, it was a reflection on the circumstance. I have no intentions to do anything wild. I am at home pulling dirt growing grain for human consumption nothing more. I do appreciate the advice though. I never considered how much trouble it could create for myself.
I do sympathize with the soldies' families. I have the upmost respect for Canadian soldiers. I guess that message did not come through in my original post.

Dont worry hobby and never worry about it again

[freewheat]

Take it from me hobby. I knew your intent. And also, take it from me, saying jokes on this site can and will capture you calls from the RCMP. Yes, the world we live in today is not our granddads world...

[hobbyfrmr]

There is no threat in my comment I am not concerned. Good grief. Go chase the bad guys!

[freewheat]

I never made a threat, yet I still got called...
