Canada is making the same mistake France did with us. It's one thing to be against the war. It's another to actively attack us. Beyond the repeated, ignorant statements made by their PM regarding 911...on the anniversary of 911 no less...their head of Defense said that Canada would not turn over any escaping Iraqis, including leaders, to the coalition.
What didn't he just shut the heck up? They don't have any forces in the area anyway. For those outside the US who don't know, Canada just signed a treaty with the US stating that if Canada is attacked by a small army, as what happened in Moscow, the US must send troops in upon request by a certain date.
Canada has so much of the trappings of the UK and none of the character or integrity.

As for not handing over escaping iraqi's, I find that understandable.
In fact, in much the same vain I will now state that any fleeing iraqi's I capture I will not hand over to the US as I do not believe they will be treated humanely.
OK, it's pointless me saying it, as I'm very unlikly to capture any iraqi's, but i'm allowed to say it none the less.
Actually, I only have a problem with the PM. In my town we make a lot of money off Canadian vacationers in Sept. and Oct.
Firstly, Bush IS a moron as anybody listening to his macho cliche ridden speeches could work out.
Secondly, I'm sure that if Saddam Hussein turned up in Quebec then he would be duly handed over - but to who? Why should Canada hand over Ba'athists to a brutal regime that has admitted torturing its prisoners? If the US had signed up to the International Court then you might have a point but if Canada wants to protect a persons human rights then they have a persuasive position.
Canada and the US are largely integrated economy wise, so why shouldn't they be integrated militarily?
And in reference to your point about the UK having character and integrity, I believe you are talking about one PM who went to war against the will of the Majority of this country's populace. THAT takes character, although where his integrity comes into it i'm not sure.
Your comment about the Cuban camp for enemy combatants is unsubstantiatable. No one has gotten in there. One sign that the prisoners are being treated well is that the Arab special ops corps who fought in Iraq, Yemen and Pakistan came from there. So they must have been treated well to be convinced to fight against Al Qaeda.
Thankyou for voting. Here are the poll results:
Iraq: Was it worth going to war?
Expires:20 Apr 2003
Yes 60.75%
No 39.24%
I don't lie I'm an American. You must have mistaken me for someone from Old Europe.
This being a much more telling measure of the current UK public opinion...

Yes there has been some increase in support but it remains the minority opinion in the UK.
How did you know I voted?
Oh, have I been neglecting you hon? I thought I was being quite attentive. I'm sorry school takes up so much of my time.:crazyeyes
Are you still stuck at elementary politics?
It looks like the Canadians have a shred of common sense. After all, Iraq has never attacked Canada whereas the U.S. has attacked Canada on multiple occassions.
Good.
Because he is the head of a sovereign nation. . . of course for Yankee warmongers and imperialists this can be a problem.
Where is this treaty?
ROFL the "integrity" of the UK? I suppose you are talking about something that simply does not exist. Just look what the UK did to South Africa and Rhodesia which fought for the British in two world wars and with the Americans in Korea. The UK deserted them to genocide and marxist savagery.
the list is getting longer pnj. there will be so many countries you don't want to trade with ...don't want to holiday in ...don't even want to talk to. why is this do you think?lost count how many times i've asked him this question. the usual reply is were jealous. we all woke up one morning jealous of america!
Americans make up the largest tourist market for both France and the UK: we send the most people to those markets. And regarding Europe, cruise ship owners transfered cruise ships from Europe to Miami because of the drop in American tourists...Making Americans fear Europeans...another achievement of the peace movement that mostly had anti-American and anti-Israel-pro-Palestinian signs. Good job guys. Wonder how many jobs your playa hating rants cost?
It appears despite your claims to the contrary that you have learned nothing. I feel deep sympathy for your father.
Not true. People are afraid to go to Europe because of the anti-American spectacles we've witnessed. My friends mother refused to go to Paris and they did a video conference call thing. My dad said his friend's company won't let people travel where there's a high alert because they could be liable.
Clandestine. People have the right to rant anti-American stuff. But why would it surprise you that it would turn off Americans? If the news showed Americans marching in the street against Belgians wouldn't you expect people from your country to make vacation plans that don't include America?
I'm very honest and my dad is very proud of me for that.
PNJ the protests and marches are not against ordinary Americans they are against the Bush administration and the damage they are doing to the world and America. Maybe instead of looking at the result - the marches, try looking at the cause - why people feel they have to march and protest against the actions of the American government. The drop in tourism incidentally is mainly caused by the Bush administration scaring the s*** out of the American people to create the loyalty needed for it to stay in office and creating unnecessary wars to achieve the same end - a Bush victory in 2004.
But can I still hate their PM?
10% of americans have passports.
This convinced me of the importance of fighting what some call radical Muslims, I call death cult perverts, where they are centered: in the Middle East. We can't wait until the perverts offer up human sacrifices on our soil.
But there are a whole lot more Americans than there are French, Germans or Brits. 10% of Americans is more people than Australia and New Zealand combined.
Thats beside the point. The 90% who never leave the country create a majority bloc uneducated about the outside world.
Or you've got the Fox Network: "Death to America" Are these people getting in the country? What plots have been uncovered? Troops in Iraq. Happy Kurds/Muslims greeting us, onto Palestine...Death to America. Cut to story about Al Qaeda and it's connections throughout the Arab World...nothing about how many Muslims and Muslim countries have helped us wrong channel for that....something negative on France or news about how the Fox led boycotte of French goods is going.
It's not lack of travel...it's the media in America that forms the opinions. Remember, the East, where all of the terror attacks happened was against the war in Iraq. The MidWest overwhelmingly favored it. The West favored it.
