I think a lot of Ralph Emerson's post make some sense if you sit down and think about them. And there may be quite a few people on both sides of the border that agree at least partially with what he says.

Larry, I assure you that my posts ARE representative of the VAST majority of Canadians but admittedly not the tone and the way I present. You can assume I am stating an opinion but you would be wrong. If I felt that I was in a minority I would say so. I'll only admit that I have more anger in my posts, but that is more a personal problem, which brings me to think about the differences between the Iraq anti-war demonstrations worldwide, which are far more massive and widespread than the anti Vietnam war rallies but the anti Vietnam war people in the USA gradually became the majority of the American public forcing the USA to pull out after murdering 3 million Vietnamese and losing hundreds of thousands of troops in the process. So, whats the difference today? Why are the anti Iraq war brigades not having much success in forcing the hand of the government into giving up and leaving the Iraqi people alone?

Here is what I think is missing
politicalhumor.about.com

and I am just as guilty as is Bush and Rove:

If you want to make peace with your enemy,
you have to work with your enemy.
Then he becomes your partner.
-- Nelson Mandela

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence
but also internal violence of spirit.
You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.
--Martin Luther King, Jr.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process,
gradually changing opinions,
slowly eroding old barriers,
quietly building new structures.
- John F. Kennedy

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that
in the process he does not become a monster.
-- Friedrich Nietzche

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
-- Abraham Lincoln
