Follow the way of the Jedi, defend but never attack.

Fear, anger and aggression leads to the dark side.

^ have u ever spoke to someone in the Canadian Army & asked them how ready of an army they have? Most of them are all reserves we have nothing when it comes to an army atleast we could've send some of our navy there

Why would Canada fight? The US isn't fighting because Saddam is a threat to society, they're fighting because Saddam is a threat to their interest in the Middle East area, thus the oil production.
I'm very happy that Canada isn't in agreement with the war plans. Resorting to war is the perfect display of devolution. We're trying to move forward not backwards.

That's my opinion.

Most of the money made by the oil will go the cost of the war 75 billion & to re-build Iraq after the war & on a side note I don't know about you but i don't like payin 89.9 cents for gas, increase oil production from the fields will bring down the barrel to about 18 dollars which will suffice for me, not only that but the end of this war will jump start the US economy thus improving our economy at the same time...........look at in a broader sense man..

What makes Saddam Hussein different than Hitler?

Because Hitler put characteristics on the people he killed? Because Hussein just kills anyone he doesn't like, or anyone who doesn't agree with him?

Saddam Hussein has killed more of his own civilians since 1976 (that's 27 YEARS of power).. than the US will EVER kill.

I didn't necessarily agree with the war to begin with.. and I don't necessarily believe in it now.. but, look at how many civilians are actually HAPPY and REJOICING when the American troops restore the power of the country back to them.

This is a way for a weak nation to overthrow a horrible man who's been allowed to be in power for far too long.



Maybe you don't agree with all of it... but how can ANYONE say that we're not doing at least SOME longterm good in the country?

"look at it in a broader sense man"

Think you now this.

The number one priority of the war right now is to secure the oil fields. Yes for the Iraqi people after the war, but not without Britain and USAs' greedy fingers in there first. Also the oilfields are a source of FUEL. This is also a tactical maneuover on the US's part. Once they have oil, they have fuel. And when they have fuel, they can operate tanks, helicopters, generators and whatever the fack they need fuel for.

And yes, Iraq is a threat and has been for the past 10- however years. What of the paranoia then?

Americans celebrated the Academy Awards last night. Did they celebrate anything soon after 9/11?

I am proud that Canada is going to give humanitarian support to the people of Iraq that actually deserve it and not to the hippocritical United States of America who are hellbent on destroying as much of the middle east as possible. I'm not sayinf there was peace before, but what the hell do you actually think this war is going to mean to the people of the middle east. We have protesters her demonstrating for anti-war here in Canada and the US and the 'demonstrators' in Pakistan and on the West Bank (to name a few) are doing it for the same cause, but because they are the ones that are closest to the actual war and the genocide that is occuring and actually see the horror that war has wrought on their territory already they are protesting in the only way that they can. WE here in Canada complain about police brutality when they fire tear gas into the crowd, but over there they beat protesters like slabs of meat.

Don't tell others to see the big picture when you don't even see it yourself.

Americans celebrated the Academy Awards last night. Did they celebrate anything soon after 9/11?



Umm.. what's your point? You expect us Americans to put our lives on hold? The reason that there wasn't much being celebrated after 9/11 was partly fear and MOSTLY that people couldn't fly.



And anyone who says shiit about the protestors here.. IT'S WAR! EVERY WAR PEOPLE PROTEST! A lot of people just don't believe killing will solve anything. I don't either. But that's the way our world works. You disagree????

This is great debate, I'm making this thread global.

Most Canadians are jealous of Americans.

Ignorant and arrogant statement.

so it's okay for Americans to go out on the town and celebrate and have a gay ol time when another country is being attacked, but as soon as facking America has one incident everyone cowers in fear. The middle east goes through violence much worse than that every day.

lol.. my point was really that after Sept 11th people were mourning... some peope went out and did shiit, some people sat in front of their TV. Just like what's going on now... You act like all Americans are heartless... then even YOU talk about the protests of Americans against war. Hmmmmmm...


and what about this whole Rules of War bullsh!t? Iraq took hostages, it's war for fack sakes, Americans are trying to take out a countries structure, what do they expect.. the Iraqi military and government to lay down and take it up the canal?

Americans seem very surprised that Iraq is fighting back.....

WHAT AMERICANS? Don't judge our whole fukcing nation on your own personal opinion, idiot. I'm surprised Iraq hasn't fought back more. I think if Saddam was smart... he would have used his weapons of mass destructions against us already, being that he has nothing to lose anyways.

As far as "rules of war" go... yea, there are rules. Did the US make up these rules? No. Go ahead... blame us for that also. It's not like the rules are that you can't kill an American or anything. It's that you treat a POW humanely. Kill him, don't torture him. What the fukc is wrong with that???
