Ted, That's not self determination and I think you know that. What we have in Iraq is a rich benefactor remaking a country in its own image. I would be offended if Canada tried to do that to us, wouldn't you be? Besides its the farthest thing from self determination. It depends where you are starting from and where you will likely end up. I think Iraq would benefit even from invasion of modern (post-Stalin) Soviet Union (and that's something very hard for me to say on 35th anniversary of invasion of Czechoslovakia by Soviet Union). Not at all.....he's advocating what the Iraqis, not Americans, think is best for the Iraqis. We're not about to do that but it probably would be the best thing albeit messy. What would that be, and how can his recommendation be realized in real world? Open up your eyes, Joe. America is not always right; its just right more than most nations. Americans are not always good but they're good a lot of the time. The American way of life is not the best that humans can produce but its the best we can produce right now. America is not the end product but just the beginning of a better world. Well said. Joe

If the US was ruled by someone like Saddam, and Canada had the power to overthrow the dictatorship at the cost of no more then a few hundred Canadian and a few thousand American deaths, and if within a few years we would have self government somewhat along the lines of that in Canada, then I would be all for a Canadian invasion of the US.
