I hope that Americans on this forum don't feel that bcbailey or madmichael speak for Canadians. Their posts are arrogant, and embarrassing!They have made it clear that they do not agree with U.S. foreign policy. However, to correlate, in any way, 9/11 with U.S. foreign policy is disgusting. Islamic militants are a huge concern in Canada, as well as the U.S. We need to work together to find solutions, instead of mudslinging!

In any way? Not to do so is irresponsible and an excercize in self-deception.

Anyone in Iraq with half a brain can see that Iraq would implode if we pulled out before they were ready to take care of themselves. I wish that we could have left sooner, but I also know that if we did, Iraq would be back to square one with another nut at the wheel.

and will be when we do leave, no doubt sbout it. but there may be three leaders, and three partial countries.Alol we are doing is postponing the inevitable. (and losing a lot of good men in the process.)

That's your opinion. Only time will tell if it's accurate or not.

Of course it is. Now you are finally getting the point.

No it is exactly that. Good (free, peace loving peoples of the world) versus evil (Islamofascists)

Patriotism runs deep in my blood. However, my patriotism isn't blind. I know the faults of our nation, the failings of her past, and the dangers of a future in which her citizens blindly follow without using judgement. National pride is not wrong unless it is blind. And I will not apologize for being unashamed.

I said nothing about us being judged. I simply said that at the end you and I will see whether I was right or wrong about this specific topic. While I number myself among those who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, I do not have a membership at any church. But so what if I did?

I am no better but I believe my country is, or else why should I remain here?

Your country actually ranks pretty low on all measurable indexes.

My point was exactly that. Iraq happened after the September eleventh attacks, therefore it was not an example of how American policy caused terrorists to attack us. Maybe instead of hurling insults at people you should spend more time reading posts before you respond.

You are saying then that the invasion of Iraq was against international law? I am not an expert in international law but I have been unable to find any international laws that we have broken. So if this is your point could you please a link with further information. Also if someone enters a nation and murders its citizens, at that point they have broken the laws of that nation.

Whatever

Well im curious as to what you base your belief on? Or is it just unthinking jingoism...

Not a belief so much as I am done caring about what you have to say. Continuing our banter won't do much more than waste time.

Yep. Just what i though, unthinking jingoism....
