Umm Canada was involved in both World Wars way before the US showed any interest. Check your facts before spouting off.
I never said in my post that Canada wasn't involved in WWI. Were they involved in Somolia? No. Did Canada use it's military might to do anything in Yugoslavia? No.
Canada does not have a military sufficient to defend itself. It's military hardware is outdated and delapidated. It's only natural for Canada to bow out of any conflict.
True leadership requires the CORRECT decisions be made. Not just what feels good at the time.
So Iraq would have been better off under Saddam? Is that what you're saying. The only mistake made was trying to get permission from a useless organization by using shakey intelligence. IMO the correct decision was made.
Canada was SO DAMN RIGHT to not go into Iraq over the question of those imaginary WMD's.
I guess those weapons used to exterminate the Kurds in 1988 were imaginary too. When have the Canadians ever stepped in to help any country and do they even have the military strength to do so.
We learned our lesson in WWI. We can't sit idlely by and allow tyrants like Saddam to sit in power. The results will can only yield more atrocity.
True leadership requires decisions to be made. You have to stand by those decisions once they are made. The US used it's mighty cock to set things right in Iraq. I have yet to hear the right claim that Iraq would have been better off with Saddam at the helm of that country.
Canada has no dick to wield. Pennis envy has overtaken the minds of its leaders. Like the UN, it is unable to make a decision and will stand by idlely to maintain its only source of pride derived from the delusion that they are the world's "peace keeper". This simply means that they step in after big brother has set things straight.
History will ultimately judge George W. Iraq will become a better place thanks to the help of the US. It's easy to cast stones from at the decision when you live in a free society where opportunity abounds. Give a little thought to those unfortunate people of Iraq who are unable to enjoy the privileges we take for granted. Under new rule, they will be able to govern themselves. Those brave men and women that have given their lives have died in a noble cause.
