Thanks for the simply astounding information included in your recent article titled (blinked), it's rich detail and magnificent comprehensive layout left me with only one tiny question. What the **** are you talking about? I understand that in the USA you geniusus have compressed whole books into one word but the rest of the damn planet still lags far behind American know who and we need at least a sentence.
No arab country has used them either. In fact, i can only think of one country that was 'irresponsible' enough (your words) to use them in war.
As I mentioned earlier, no one used any irresponsibly. No Arab country except Pakistan has any that we know of and theirs is secured by us for the moment.
The usual nonsense from you.

How many Canadian soldiers have died in Iraq
You should reread what you wrote. You did not say anything about using them responsibly, you said that not having used them was proof of being a responsible government.
I'll just quote the greatest polemicist of our times:
The European and American reaction to Iran’s nuclear program was that of Uncle Tom’s slaveowner, Simon Legree, on learning of an escaped slave: How does this dusky dare to touch the white masters’ toys? Their empty talk of an “Iranian threat” is designed for the ignorant: Iran has never, ever attacked a European nation since the wars for Anatolia in the 5th century BC, whereas European imperialists have repeatedly occupied and controlled Iran – once recently in 1942, and then again in 1953, when they deposed the democratically-elected Mosaddeq and and placed their stooge in his place. Yes, the old colonialism is dead. England can’t rule over Iraq, nor France over Algeria, but the new collective colonialism – that of an imperialist core of highly industrialized Western nations over the rest of the world – is hardly any better. The old masters have decided to pool their resources and rule their erstwhile slaves together. They switched from the Athenian model – where each citizen had his slave – to the Spartan model – where all slaves belong to the State. In this new collective imperialist universe, the US is the ‘arm’ – the enforcer – of this new colonialism, while the ‘mind’ – the ideology – is supplied by a vast syndicate that unites and coordinates the majority of the world’s media outlets, both left and right, from Madrid to Moscow, and from Texas to Timbuktu – despite their pretensions of competition and rivalry.

Look at how much Arab land exists, countries like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, etc. Israel doesn't recognize these countries right to exist?
Israel is a peace-loving, freedom-loving nation. A shining beacon of light in one of the darkest places on earth. The equation "sworn enemy + nuclear weapons = ... " simply does not translate over.
You are ignoring...
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
- Matthew 5:43-48
In Israel you can change your religion or be homosexual without fear of reprisal from the government. That's a huge contrast from other nations like Iran. Light vs. dark.
Whenever you're ready to have a serious conversation, I'll be waiting.
Ah, so you can be an Arab in Israel without fear? That's awesome, Arabs don't have their houses bulldozed to make way for Jews, that's great. Light vs dark, indeed. Arab settlements aren't cleared out or anything. Thanks for pointing that out.
Global Research can be a great source. I agree and disagree with their opinion. Canada's naval escort in the Persian Gulf was clearly support.
Officer exchanges, overflight and refueling... and much of the rest could arguably be Canada upholding existing treaties, obligations and agreements with the US.
Canada has many reciprocal agreements with the US. Our military can refuel and fly in their airspace. Likely as many American officers serve temporarily in Canada's military...
Canada has close economic and military ties to the US. What affects the US affects us. A significant portion of Canada's economy involves arms or supports war.
Arabs living in Gaza or the West Bank have more to fear from their own Hamas than the Israeli government any day of the week.

Plus, the settlement issue is a different topic. So, back to the moral difference between countries like Israel and Iran, in Israel you can change your religion without fear, in Iran you cannot. End of story.
