I never made any "generalization about how out of touch" you are. I simply asked if you had something more important to argue about that concerned you. Unrelated event? Hardly. But scripted by Iraq? Probably not. I agree that without 9/11 we would not be in this mess, but we did not choose the mess that we call 9/11.

As soon as someone from some country says anything anti-war, it's away with French fries, Canadian bacon, Smirnoff Vodka, BMWs, etc. Why does America refuse to simply listen to the arguments from other sides rather than respond so emotionally like pouring French wine in the streets? It is a very childish and emotional reponse, rather than a calculated and reasonable debate.


Because everyone has interests. Do you take the advice of the salesmen when you are deciding whether or not to purchase a car? No? Then why should America pay any heed to the French? They have their interests, we have ours.

I apologize if I seem "anti-Canadian" but I find your position worthless. You have no leg to stand on. Will this war cost you your hard-earned tax dollars? No. Will this war sacrifice your proud soldiers? No. Will the Iraqi people be better off without Saddam than with him? Yes. Ask any Iraqi living in exile.

The way I see it, this war costs Canadians nothing; not pride nor money nor life, hell, your country does not even have to take an official stand. You should simply be happy for the Iraqi people. I do not mean to make the US as a savior by any means, but there is absolutely NO doubt that life without Saddam means a better life for Iraqis. Be happy for them, or just continue to be deaf to the words of every Iraqi living in your country.
