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 facts
1)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.
