They keep saying they attacked us. No Iraqi attacked us! \n\nPlus, how would they feel if someone attacked us because they were attacked by Canada??

Yes where is Bin Laden, at Bush's house having cocktails, and barbecue with Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the GOP boys. I am still waiting for WMD's and they don't seem to be coming. This whole thing has been lie after lie. Congress changes this fall, and I hope to see several investigations going on.

Well because Yankee tourists are so in your face, think they know everything and tell you what to do.   And like a lot of other Canadians we don't like their government, that kills millions of innocent people, threaten to pollute our Red River with one of their polluted rivers, we don't like the fact they are trying to build a wall against us-how neighbourly is that? Canadians don't believe they get any respect from the U.S. We feel like they are sneering at us just because we allow same sex marriage and for the most part marijuana is legal. Also we don't have the first Amendment that every one person is required to be armed to the teeth.

What are the stakes? Some Iraqis might turn against USA?, Some Afghanis might do some thing in retaliation? Some others might say something against US?\nBring army back home and leave the world alone, the world does not need your help, no dollars and no bombs, Stakes will be over and you wo'nt need to be smarter.

I say make the hard choices or bring troops back. What do I mean don't p ussy foot around when your attacked hit back and hit back hard. I don't care if your in a mosque if you fire on me I'm coming after you. I am a Canadian that served in the U.S Army infantry and was in Iraq. My wife was in Iraq as well in intelligence. This war is bull crap. Everyone knows it. But the U.S has f ucked this up so bad that now we have to stay and die for the mistakes of the intelligence community. Everyone that thinks Iraq is a good idea has no idea what being on the ground in a hostile country is all about. Cowards all. 80 percent of U.S falls in this category. War is a great idea when your P ussy a ss doesn't have to fight in it. Looks great from a 60 inch screen try seeing it from a hasty V. Not to mention this isn't a war its 100,000 cannon fodder sitting in the desert so Kellogg brown and root can make money. If you don't bring the troops home or move them to safer place when the Iran war comes troops in Iraq will be killed in droves. All those that wish to stay the course in Iraq your local recruiter would like to chat with you. Why don't you back up your words with action P ussies.

Thank you. I didn't know that. As the wife of a serving British Army Officer I often get the impression that the opposite is the case. Some of the bizarrely Gung-ho statements don't help. I mean what on Earth does 'Ladies and gentlemen, we got him' say to a watching World? or, a recently aired interview with an American Soldier serving in Iraq who referred to 'zapping' Iraqis. We joined you in making a terrible mistake. I have been deprived of my husband for a year in the last three whilst he served on two Operational Tours, and a 27 year old friend mourns her husband. There were, and are, no WMD and all we can do now is to try to help clear up the terrible mess we made and hope that our UN Allies, the French & the Germans will forgive us. I don't suppose the people of Iraq ever will. You are right. It's not your fault. It's your Government's fault and my Government's fault and the only way we can truly protest (although as a Senior Army Officer's wife, I have marched against this war) is at the polling booth.

Our criminal leaders did not invade Iraq to "help" anyone but themselves.  They staged 9/11 to scare us into supporting whatever they decided to do.  Those of you who do not understand this, WAKE UP.

Of course.  Goodness, we have plans for invading Canada!  We have plans for invading every country in the world, as does China, Russia, etc., if they're smart.\n\nContingency plans are part of being prepared for every way things might change.  Careless leaders wait until the emergency happens.\n\nThis is why I find the whole, "President Bush had plans to invade Iraq" argument so silly.  President Clinton had plans to invade Iraq.  So did Ford, Carter, Reagen, Nixon, etc.  Like I said.  Silly to try to "blame" President Bush for something so obviously a necessary part of government.\n\nWe won't do it.  We will not invade a nation that is sovereign.  We invaded Iraq because we had a cease-fire with them after they attacked us while we were defending Kuwait.  Iraq agreed to certain terms for the cease-fire, and after a decade, they kept breaking their agreement; we invaded.\n\nBut we don't invade sovereign nations.  Iran will have to do something stupid.  We might even encourage them: "Go ahead and hit me, feel free!"\n\nIsrael is a natural source of a pre-emptive attack.  We'll see.

I am Canadian.  You are helping us in Iraq.  This is a UN mission.  We are not there to help you.  We looked at the situation and were personally asked to go.  If you know us right away we don't want war so we have made it in to a rescue mission for Afghan people who want peace.  The word terrorism or half the bush-isms are over used.  We are not hungry for war.  It takes more guts to say sorry when your right to quiet a fight then to say your right when your wrong.  This humility will not work on say it two times Bush because he is daft.  Canada doesn't understand why someone would have a rocket launcher in their front closet.  I almost want to say the Afghans deserve themselves so let them kill each other. But in reality those people are people and despite their anger, retaliation, bull headiness and poppy growing need strong people who will help them get on with enjoying life.  So no we do not support any war willingly.  We go to war more in a policing manner to help people not take or secure oil.

This is a very good story, and I feel it not only applies to situations as existed in Iraq, but in the rest of the world as well... \n\nGod bless your family, and thankyou for your willingness to defend freedom at home and across the globe.

Kids:\n\nI hope you get this. Sorry for the mess, we were busy building things and didn't really pay attention to how much of the natural resources we were using.\n\nI know it's hot, but even though the tropical regions are now uninhabitable, the rising temperatures have made much of the polar regions tolerable. Granted, there's not as much land because of all the glacial melting, but at least it'll keep the oceans replenished for the new fish that are replacing the species that died off.\n\nBefore I forget, the fire in the middle east desert should die down before too long. I guess they weren't expecting one little nuclear weapon to cause that much damage or set the entire oil fields on fire. But, at least you won't have to worry about middle eastern politics, since there is no middle east anymore. \n\nBut, since more of Canada is now inhabitable, you'll still have that oil, and with the warmer temperatures, there won't be as much need for heating fuel.\n\nI know what you're thinking. How could we let it get this bad. I guess we just weren't paying attention. With the terrorist threats and all -- no, they really aren't hiding in the closet or under the bed. We took care of them. Well, a few of them, at least. \n\nI have to go now. The global satellite surveillance will pick this up before long. And since criticizing the government became punishable by death, this will probably be the last transmission I can send. \n\nWe miss you, and tell your siblings in the creche that we're sorry.

Eric last name withheld\nI got a mixed response. Some liked us some didnt. Yes i do have something against the Iraqi's. I treated the iraqi's with respect yet at times they threw rocks so i threw them back. IP's and the IA treated us like brothers the civilians on the other hand treated you different . it all depended on where you went.

Most of our foreign oil comes from canada not the Middle East it doesn't really matter. We would have been out by now if it was oil and we wouldn't have used all the oil we have used so far to fight the war. Duh.

NO! NO! NO! And to these people saying that oh we are fighting the people that brought down the towers. Iraq had nothing to do with that so destroying the people and their country is stupid. The reason the terrorists are there are because we are. They want to kill US! So we should have stayed in afganastan and then to saudi arabia where the killers of 911 came from. That is if you even believe all that our goverment has told you.

First of all, dumbasses, I don't think nitai777 is from our wonderful country or he/she would not be saying "Why are you", or saying "Mr. Bush" as opposed to "President Bush" or spelling Iraq in a non-English manner.  Did you know that in other languages they use other words?  Idiots.\n\nHe or she asked a legitimate question that deserves an honest answer instead of getting on a soap box to bash liberals or conservatives.\n\nThe answer is they are trying to help.  Right or wrong, whether we agree with them or not, they are trying to help, and no matter what political side we are on, or how we feel about the President (I personally think he's a greedy idiot) or war in general, the young men and women are just trying to help the people over there.

Whether you know it or not their really isn't any Arabs on these pages. It's all the little Republican games from people that are trying to use scare tactics. Check their pages man, you can tell by their location, it will say the Middle East, or Asia. So they are lying just like the daily military, that say they are in Iraq, and Afghanistan. That would be a security violation, and the military isn't going to have that. They are in here every day, they are lying to you, and they are not real. Look for "SGT K" and "Support Denmark" and "Hathaway" these people are skinheads, NEO_NAZI'S man.

who did it? well it wasnt the butler in the hallway wilh a candlestick. how many different arab leaders are there in U.A.E.?i wouldnt know.however, it had to be a terrorist group of the arab world. look at the names listed they were all arabic.as for the official story, what we read and saw on the tube was as official as it gets.information concerning this tragic day possibly was edited just to be on the safe side. what i mean is that the story probably had more to it than what was said ,but with the turmoil in the world today, the increasing price of oil and fingers pointed at everyone, why say anything to start trouble? personally i dont think our country is the most advanced in defense or technology.our computers are made up of japans experts and as far as i know our defense systems are made with the same technology. i think there a a few small nations in the world that have come a long way as we have but secrets must be kept.hopefully im wrong but,i have read and surfed the web,i had found many items of interest that are questionable.im not a trouble maker and i think any information gotten will be sufficient enough to sustain my curiosity. i served during vietnam and i enlisted and would do it again. this country is my home and i was proud to serve.
