    From an American: Read with interest the thread of discussions relating to the U.S. role in Iraq. Some protesting may lose sight of these facts1)chem or bio weapons are probably going to be discovered;(2)some have probably already been passed on to terrorist groups ("any enemy of mine...");(3)one independent terrorist group tied to alQaida has been blasted out of northern Iraq;(4)Saddam's oil revenues have gone to purchase Russian/French/Chinese items prohibited by the UN for 12 years (so much for the "just use sanctions and keep him in check..." arguement).If sanctions and inspections had worked, why are Russian military items/French parts being found almost daily on the ground?(4)Upon request, our President (and most all Americans, including this one)would (I'm sure) provide any assistance that might be necessary, if asked, by the Canadian peoples/government, should any type of disaster occur on Canadian soil (which we seriously would not want to occur);(5)the only soil kept by Americans in previous wars, was the soil used to bury American, Canadian, Australian, British, etc. troops who had fallen in those countries during times of oppression.(6)the U.S. didn't bomb Pearl Harbor, the Japanese did.Question for the anti-war protestors:would you go hunting a predator bear with a willow switch? (7)The American farmers and ranchers that I know would not publicly embarass a Canadian or "boo" at your National Anthem.We might sit in a kitchen, and argue politics/war/etc.But then,that's the American (and Canadian) way, isn't it? Peace to Canada.

      Someone above called Bush a weasel. Let's go through a little exercise here. Who would you rather have as the leader of your nation? Saddam? Cretien? That guy in France? The Russian President? Sounds like a lot of BAD people, or in the case of some, people who DON'T stand up for what they believe in. I, personally, wish Bush et. all the very best. Too bad our own leader tells us what to think and how to act all the time and then blames it on us when repercussions occur, as I am sure they will this time also.

        Couple of points I'd like to make...
        #1. If this really was about oil, the yanks have a large supply of oil just north of them that also is desparately in need of a regime change.
        #2. Keep in mind the same idiots in Montreal that booed the American national anthem are the very same ones that did the same for the Canadian anthem not so long ago.

        For those of you who may not agree with the idiotic comments of our "leader", you may wish to visit a web site ( www.wesupporttheusa.ca ) petition which will be forwarded to the PM's office and the Whitehouse.

        Give `em hell, yanks! And safe return soon!

          Good points flatbroke and nice to see you back.
          Although I think many Canadians, myself included, were uneasy about the USA proceeding without the backing of the UN, that does not mean that the American forces do not have our support and sympathy. Unfortunately that isn't a lot of tangible help when they need it.

            Guess what, Vice President Dick Cheney's company Haliburton just got a HUGE contract to reconstruct Iraq's oil fields and pipelines. US weapon of mass destruction GREED!! Wild weasels at work.

              Ok, Here's the Plan.....

              1) The US will apologize to the world for our "interference " in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini and the rest of them good old boys'. We will never "interfere" again.

              2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with
              Germany, South Korea and the Philippines.
              They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No
              more sneaking through holes in the fence.

              3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and
              leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where
              they are. France would welcome them.

              4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90
              days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself. Don't hide here. Asylum would not ever be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers.

              5) No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home, baby.

              6) The US will make a strong effort to become self sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

              7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else.

              8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we
              will not "interfere". They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain,
              cement or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if any anyway.

              9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here.
              Besides, it would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

              10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.

              Now, ain't that a winner of a plan!!!

                We, our family, are presently reading "The Diary of Anne Frank", and I can't help but think of how many Iraqi girls or boys from the past, or present could have the same type of basic story about their life. It is a very sobering reminder of the regime of someone else who had similar ideas to the leader of Iraq - Adolf Hitler. It also makes me "angry" thinking of those "weasels" of that time, FDR, Churchill and others.
                Good Luck, our U.S. neighbors, and may God Bless you for your humanitarian efforts, even though they may also have some other motives as well.

                      Maybe some of you against the war should just phone up Saddam and have a little talk with him. I'm sure he will listen. I mean he is a fair man, he is very supportive of his army. Just look at the way he puts civilians in front of them to protect them. Look at the nice way in which he dresses his men in civilian clothes so that they can blend in with the general population (and kill more of us). His support of the car demolotion program speaks for itself(park close and blow up your enemy)

                      We can only protect the innocent people of Iraq so long. When his tatics are terrorism we will have no other choice but to destroy the country. Better to have 100 of them die neadlessly than 1 of ours!!!
