You would think that with all the time Mad_Medeiros spends not posting that he may find his way to a history book, but apparently that isn't the case.

That's another good quote, and I hadn't heard that one before.
I would also like to say that Canada doesn't need more troops, and that's a good thing. After all, they are playing it smart and not trying to be bullies to the rest of the world, unlike us. The US seems to have a tendency to do that, and I wish we'd get over ourselves. I'm disgusted when Bush calls the war in Iraq a victory. Victory? Why, because we only lost 2K or so people while we killed 30K of theirs so far? You people must have a different definition of victory than I do. Quite honestly, I'm hoping the democracy in Iraq will last. I'm hoping civil war doesn't break out after the war finally ends, and I hope peace comes soon so that the bloodshed over there ends. Realistically, I don't think that's going to happen. This is going to be a long, drawn-out conflict, and at the end of it all the terrorists will be hurt, but still very active, and even more pissed off at us.
As for people who seriously bash France, Canada, or other countries... I seriously doubt their intelligence, or at the least I attribute them with a lack of humanity. We make fun of countries that don't want to go to war, that don't want to cause trouble? What the hell is wrong with you Americans?

No, it's not a true victory. Yes it's going to be very drawn out. Yes terrorists are going to be mad (shouldn't really be our concern on how to please terrorists). Yes terrorists groups have/will be hurt badly.
I don't make fun of Canada because they don't want to go to war. Many other things to make fun of them for.

um...well...yeah.  they havent had it for thousands of years and dont even really seem to want it. one iraqi group just wants to be the group in power. they all hate each other more than the North and the South did. unfortunately, i think that our soliders are losing their lives for pure politics, not to "save" anyone. at least in the first Persian Gulf war we were helping defend Kuwait. this time all we are doing is GBs version of the Crusades. and because he actually, really, personally feels for the people of Iraq?!? please  if that's the case then how come we arent invading every other country that is being ruled under a dictator??
i find it expected if we lose soliders defending our own soil, even "acceptable" if defending the soil of an ally, but to DIE for this bs?!? wtf?! i know the soldiers dont have a choice, and i can respect that, but wtf to our government for using them as tools for some agenda?!
my cousin is headed back there in Feb for the 15th(?) time for his company that builds the Predator. if he were to die over there from some insurgent attack, what would i say?! would i say i was proud that he gave his life defending our country?! defending one our staunch allies?! or by ensuring that some [censored] muslim in the desert has the chance to vote a new radical cleric into power, and was possibly the one who killed him?!  un[censored]believable! btw, he was a very proud Marine (former? inactive?) and is about as hardcore as they come but he tells me about all the bs he has seen over there and how the people there dont want us there. we build something for them, they tear it right down. he simply says we should not be over there and need to get out now! he says we're losing guys over there for nothing!

Bravo, very well said, and I agree. There just so happen to be some places in the world that don't want a system of government like ours. Why are we imposing it on them? Beats me. Who are we to say what the "right" type of government is anyway?
