The brave heros of this story is the leadership of France. They knew it was a war of agression and was wrong, but then everyone else did too. Their heroic deed was that they did not just go along to get along. Events have proven that Iraq was attacked for a combination of oil and Israeli dreams of conquest.

The feeling is the same from most Americans. In fact, quite a few of us almost consider ourselves the 14th Canadian Province. <g>

It would be a shame if the great friendship between Canada and America is lessened because of Jean Chretien's ignorant decision, which had to strengthen Saddam's resolve to stay in power instead of fleeing Iraq.

There are many in America, especially the young, or the elite, such as the millionaire entertainers in Hollywood, that have forgotten, or never learned that if one is not willing to defend and protect liberty and democracy, one could lose it.
