So why do you get involved in US foreign policy?

Because they come knockin at our door when they decide to whack someone and want us to participate and lend our credibility and legitimacy to their policy/actions. They sure as hell don't need our military. They need our credentials to validate their actions. Furthermore our last excursion resulted in the US bombing us. Yes, US foreign policy prompts our reactions and comments.

On your comment - John....Canada is not your problem - who are you to state that?

I am the same as everyone here, a peon who pretends that his voice on this thread actually means something. If I can listen to the US BS for 58,000 posts then they can listen to my BS for a couple of hundred.

My family lives in Trail BC, Parry Sound & Ottawa Ontario, Antigonish and Halifax NS. My mother, siblings, wife and children are all Canadian citizens (many are dual).

Fine, I'll meet you at the Tim Hortons 2 miles north of the Parry Sound turnoff on Hwy 69 and we'll have a duel.

Canada is very much my 'problem'. Beyond living there for 13 years, I still own property and pay taxes there..

Fine, tell that to the 2,000,000 snowbirds in the US and let me know how appreciated their advice is to the Americans. The thunder of a collective American raspberry to them would be sumptin methinks.

Sorry, your indignance isn't impressing me. Now, please pass me on to a real American. How the hell can I argue with a hybrid?
