All those people booing your anthem are blind. They cannot see that we depend entirely on the US. Our financial situation mirrors the US, our exports need the US, our country simply needs the US.

I find it funny that because a bunch of idiots from Canada boo the American anthem, some of you are angry at all Canadians and trash us. I'm canadian, I didn't boo your anthem. I think our prime minister is a jellyfish that won't do anything that doesn't benefit himself in some way. I think we should be behind the war in full helping the british and american forces like in the past. But what does it matter, I'm Canadian... that's really lame guys.

We could send all our troops. They likely would be a cleanup crew more than anything, rescuing survivors, finishing off after the main assault. At least they would be there and have a purpose. Unfortunately, the cost of having a military would cut into politician's salaries, and into the budgets, so it is generally being phased out. Eventually we'll have a canoe and a stick for our main military armament.

That said, there are some people from the United States that dislike all Canadians now because some of us don't support the war. Get your head out of your ass. There are a good number of Americans that oppose the war too. Instead of being angry a group of people for the opinions of some. Go yell at your neighbor for letting his dog poop on your lawn, at least that will be productive.

Why can't we all aim this hostility at the people who deserve it? Namely terrorists and insane dictators

Incidentally I think calling french cut potatoes "freedom fries" instead of french fries is one of the most retarded ideas on earth, almost surpassing Metallica suing any company that uses the word Metal in thier name.



Very Well Said! Any citizen booing or otherwise degrading its own national anthem better think about where he/she lives, but in a democracy he/she has the right. Canadiens booing the American national anthem is just that...a citizen of another country expressing his right to freedom of speech. I serve so my family and others have the right to do that...I serve so I have the f'in right do that when/if the time comes! However, I will not go against my commander in chief as long as I have sworn the oath...not to mention that I agree morally with the war.
Some people must believe in Honor and Duty and carry its standard in this world. Look at Hollywood, they ACT the parts of people that have honor, even though in real life they seem to have none. All the money and none of the sacrifices.

We are living in very complicated, very confused times, aren't we? If there ever was a time when "Devine Interevention" was called for, it's now.



Very true. And, it's entirely possible that Devine Intervention already is revealing itself.

Keep in mind that, in this world, God has many names and many faces ... And God does not report to George Bush.

I fear that, unless cooler heads soon prevail in Washington,
once we get to Baghdad, God will make certain we get a "360" comprehension that "Shock and Awe" is two-way street.
