Enigma. You said...." So what would you REAL Canadians do:
1. Cease Canada's role as a peacekeeping nation and supporter of the UN
2. Say to the US 'we're behind you but we won't actually be able to help' (Spain, Italy)
3. Provide logistical help - refueling etc.
4. Go out there and kill Iraqis with our popguns? And women and children.".....

# 1) I think that support for UN could be put on hold.

#2) Yes

#3) Yes do what we can which is not a whole lot.

#4) I disagree with your wording here but I think Canada should support our allies in whatever way we can.

You said...." Go out there and kill Iraqis with our popguns? And women and children.".....

I think you are well aware that US troops are doing their best to avoid civilians, and that it is sadams thugs that are killing and using women, children as shields and as human bombs.

Let me ask you...what do you think should have been done about sadam assuming that you believe he is as heartless as he is described.

Canadian soldiers were praised many times by US soldiers for their role as snipers in Afghanistan and saving US lives. Did you support the war in Afghanistan or Kosovo?

You said...." AS it is we're providing some naval patrol help in the Gulf - but it's supposed to be in the war against terrorism - the real war one hopes - not this sham one dressed up as such. "....

I believe that the war against sadam is one and the same as the war against islamic terrorism.

You say the "real war one hopes" I assume you agree then with the war against islamic terrorism if you refer to it as the real war. So how then do you suggest this war be conducted....sadam is a terrorist and is in a position to help supply islamic terrorist .

Did you always support the war on islamic terrorism?

My concern was with the PM condemning the USA and their policy towards iraq for what appears to me to be political reasons.
