Blair's fatal attraction

Wow 0.02.

Mukluks and back bacon don't count.

They do for those people killed by those Canadian weapons that constituted the 0.02%.

You can also same the same thing for America's tiny 0.46% - not even half of 1%. Yet all you anti-war people seemed to think that Saddam got most of his weapons from the United States.

We see a threat and we respond....and we pay the price with honor.

I tip my hat to our fine men and women who have made the ultimate sacrafice for us and our allies.

Canada's contribution to Afghanistan may have been because it was ordered to do so by its NATO masters.

If Canada wasn't a part of NATO you'd also be doing nothing in Afghanistan. You certainly wouldn't send troops there of your own accord as America, Britain and around 30 other nations did in Iraq.

Millions of Canadians are even demanding Canadian troops to be pulled out of a Afghanistan despite being their as part of a NATO force! So there would have been no chance of Ccanada going into Afghanistan unless part of NATO.

You're right and indeed the WMD attack on the Kurds was carried out by helicopters purchased from Americans.

Everything all round the world is purchased from someone, that is 'just' business, and if we all
concentrated on that aspect of things, every country could have a 'business' link to anyone, then
later on connect it to 'war', so then, countries should not sell to any other country? It's all for
the almighty dollar my friend, and when that comes into play, it doesn't matter who wants to
'buy' ,the item is for sale, it's yours, if you have the 'bucks'.

I never said he did, I just mentioned the helicopters.

Try and pay attention.

You can of course prove what you just said right? Tell me, how many Canadians supported the Afghan conflict in the beginning? When you find the answer please do crawl away from your simplistic war hungry arguments.

Millions of Americans are demanding the U.S. pull out of Iraq.

Got to go, take care.;-)

Sure, but I think nations should have a moral responsiblilty not to give weapons to oppressive dictators.

But if you study the past, situations change all the time. Iran was enemy to the U.S., then the
U.S. backed Iraq against Soviet Union, as there was cold war at that time. So, as situations change
your friend might be your enemy sometime soon. And, the U.S. supported Iraq against Iran, as the
Iranians had been guilty of the u.s. hostage taking, and on and on it goes.
There is NO morality in any country when it comes to making MONEY, they will sell anything to anybody.
