You wanna kneel to the neocon PNAC rule,...and you're clearly not helping anything positive by cheering on the world domination by jackboot crowd, but really this doesn't matter much, most of us just shrug, because hey you're in the minority Um,well. I got to my position through my own description and analysis and if if a zillion folk like you have a different position, then, as far as I can see you all have made a mistake. So far, as I see it, despite the mistakes and flaws the Bush admin got the alQaeda-Taliban thing right, and did the right thing regarding Hussein and his murderous bunch, and if it wants to put some pressure on the homicidal mullahs in Iran, that's OK with me, also. How Afghanistan and Iraq will play out is still open, but, so far, in both cases the folk there are better off. The murderous fascists who were running those places are out. The US asked the Canadians and lots of other folk to help in these endeavors and some did help and others did not. The Canadian government helped in one case and not in the other. I happen to believe the Canadian government made a mistake in not saying truthfully it wasn't capable of helping in the Iraq exercise and leaving it at that. The US would have said OK, but isn't it time you spent a nickle on your armed forces? And that would have been it. There could have been private messages but no, the PM had to do all the rest of the grandstanding his senile ego requires at a time when our country has outstanding issues with US, which is our largest trading partner and the only super power. Our PM seems to think if we put the Middle East on social assistance all the problems will be solved. I'm not a happy camper. The mindless anti-Americanism you and your "majority" and the Canadian government hold to is not useful. Despite its hypocrisy, corruption and mistakes, and yes, even with the present administration you have it in for, the US is still the single largest force for good in the world. Because I hold that view, based on my description and analysis, you want to dump me in with "felons and insane... and radical baptists and serial murderers and hare krishnas." Well OK. Classy move, Marcos. Like I said, you don't speak for all Canadians - some millions of them would agree with me and would appreciate your estimation of me much as I do: confirmation that I got it right. Marcos, you are the negative indicator.
