For AEON!
Sorry Beav, I thought that was you.

Sorry Guy, I read the link above, down to the part where they claimed 1.5 million Iraqis wrongfully dead as a direct result of US-backed UN sanctions.
That discredited the entre article.
These people are obviously delusional idiots.

My fingers hurt:
Obviously didn't read my post in full. Support from complete strangers in Canada is the biggest morale booster a contingent can get. At Christmas time we received cards from 5th graders across the Country. Nothing can brighten your day like getting a card from a kid you've never met that says he/she appreciates what you're doing and how much they respect you, a letter complete with spelling mistakes, it's an awesome feeling. That's why I have all the time in the World for kids, they haven't been corrupted by political and social ideals. They speak how they feel.
As per you avoid my question. If you were a soldier, what trade? What unit? Anything?
While I wouldn't go as far to say they "had it coming", I will admit that the U.S. has its fair share of enemys world wide. They tend to take their self-inflated opinion of themselves and rub it in the faces of others. While at times I admire them for their nationalism, I also feel that they could avoid conflict (both political and military) if they weren't so damned obnoxious. In short; did the U.S. have it coming? No. Did they induce the attack? Yes.
Further proof you don't even realize what you write:
This sound like something you wrote Aeon?: "That is probably the only thing that the army is good for, to help people when a disasters occurs."
You speak with a lot of Haitians about their political views do you? Regardless Haitians love Canadians, they've always deemed we're the most trustworthy soldiers to deal with. Haiti in my opinion is one of our best peacekeeping missions.
First off, he used chemical weapons on his own people. So right there he's dangerous. Secondly economic sanctions don't destroy weapons, that doesn't even make sense. 1.5 million Iraq's dead from economic sanctions? Ha, that's funny. Where'd you get that number from? The same place you got your "Haitian politcal views"?
When is this pipeline suppose to be constructed?
WHY WOULD THE TALIBAN GET RID OF OPIUM?! IT WAS THEIR CHIEF SOURCE OF FINCACIAL CAPITAL!
Man you're a total tool.
Give me an example of this elaborate internation lie Aeon?
Actually with Dresden it was over 100000 killed by the bombing Jay
Uh Aeon, the muslims in bosnia weren't fighting the soviets....
Exactly.

to rely on the mob for your morale is to be in a precarious position. It is "wonderful" when you have it, but the mob can turn on you in a flash.
Children speak what they feel, but what they feel is a product of their society. They do not have critical thinking skills, they have what they have been told. It is pure, though. Whatever works for you.

I am a private person. I don't tell people things about myself or my past. That is the way I am.
Mogz sorry the Taliban forces did cut down on Opium when they were in charge, they almost eradicated it.
And alot of people did die from the sanctions at least 100,000 people more likely 500,000 people. I will try to find some stuff on both.

Wrong. The Taliban banned the use of all opiates by anyone following Islam. However Kabul never banned the sale of opium to non-muslims and never had issues with the product being exported. Under the Taliban the sale of opium and opium related products accounted for around 70% of Afghanistans GNP. The Taliban was fully aware that farmers were cultivating opium and couldn't have cared less as long as their coffers were filled.

It doesn't really believe the info but it does also make the claim that Taliban cut world opium production by 2/3.
Opium trade
Although the Taliban reportedly banned opium poppy cultivation in late 1997, opium production in Afghanistan may have increased through the year 2000, accounting for 72% of the world's illicit opium supply, according to U.S. government sources. Most Afghan opium is sold in Europe and not the United States.
On July 27, 2000, the Taliban again issued a decree banning opium poppy cultivation. The announcement of the ban caused prices to rise from $30 per kilogram to $500 per kilogram.
There was comment from the international human rights community on the brutality of the Taliban's anti-drug interdictions, including violent punishment of offenders.
The U.S. State Department noted in 2001 that "Neither the Taliban nor the Northern Alliance has taken any significant action to seize stored opium, precursor chemicals or arrest and prosecute narcotics traffickers. On the contrary, authorities were said to continue to tax the opium poppy crop at about ten percent, and allow it to be sold in open bazaars, traded and transported."
However, the Taliban had succeeded in cutting annual poppy production from a CIA-estimated 4,042 tons per year to only 81.3 tons per year. In 2001 The United States provided $43 million worth of supplies (primarily wheat) to humanitarian relief organizations for distribution to the people of Afghanistan, while continuing to criticise the Taliban's activities. This was widely reported by critics of U. S. policy (such as Robert Scheer) to be a $43 million reward to the Taliban for reducing poppy production. The Taliban subsequently raided the shipments, but no evidence has been offered to indicate that this was the United States' intention.
Poppy production increased with the fall of the Taliban government.

Re: RE: supporting our troops??
Whoa... Hold on there. IF you think that Afghanistan is about 911, then you need to give your head a shake.
In short - PIPELINE.
That's why so many Canadians are against this involvement. There is no sound reason for being in that country other than to support the U.S. Oil and gas initiatives. Period.

ITN I haven't been cleared to disclose this but the list of Countries you posted, well they are there to Guard and Protect Elvis Presley. Yes, it blows the mind doesn't it.
Bush made a speach just before the invasion that threatened "you're either for us or against us". What do you suppose that means?
Re: RE: supporting our troops??
That means you either support terrorism or you fight terrorism. If you support it you are an enemy, if you fight it, you are an ally. Common Sense 101.

“When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors.”
Ann Coulter
Guess it's too late for you DB; you are a traitor.

Re: RE: supporting our troops
Actually Jay I'm a patriot, you are stuck in a narrow nationalistic perspective and I am not, my home is the planet and thats the body of citizens is who I owe my aligence to, from that perspective I can condemn those who I see as the main instigators of global destabilization and murder, and I can suggest and applaud thier destruction with no feelings of guilt whatsoever. With that same global perspective I can safely condemn you as a traitor and easily
suggest your eradication as a parasitical organism deluded by main stream media bullshit. I have no doubt that only when your lunatic type of shallow reasoning has been educated off the planet will we enjoy any lasting peace and prosperity for all.
