we still care about the world.......about YOU!!!

Thank You.

Now tell your PM to tell the truth about Canadian involvment in Iraq!!

It does not matter if you are American or not on this subject. It is obvious world wide the wreck baby shrub has made of America and his over zealous wish for Saddam has really created a world wide issue in Iraq. Yes your poem is accurate. He does not care for the common folk of any country. He cares only for the elite like he is.

thanks klc

it is just time to get out

they do not know how to fight a war

they worry to much about public opinion

when you worry about public opinion

at war time people die a lot of them

if they would of just went in done what needed done

it would have been over three years ago

if you can end a multi front world war

in less than five years there is no excuse

for been in a single country conflict for

this amount of time and not be in control

public opinion was in favor of it at the time

but failure to fight a war cost thousands of lives

and continue to do so

but hey what do i know

Noone should sit back and spectate.....Gyps....you are a citizen of the WORLD...you have a right and an obligation....to express your opinions, and to grieve the losses created by the Ignorant.
We are all a part of each other.....how can we not feel the loss........
I...for 1....stand with you...and support your right to oppose!!!!

Yes Fanta, there are Canadians there....I dont think your figures are exactly accurate though, considering there is medical personnel there as well etc....I dont really think anyone will "really" know.....

Ive had the chance to talk to a few americans on this site that were actual soldiers at one time and they had no idea that Canada was in Iraq and told me I dont have a say in this matter....

Cyber.....Yes, the song is from Pink and it did remind me of the Dixie Chicks song as well....and the controversy surrounding it but for some reason....but that was a few years ago when the war was still quite fresh....I think the average person may be thinking a different tune now...

Thank you Ghostrider......Peace~~!!!!

THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WERE IN FAVOR OF THIS WAR WHEN WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION ,THER WASN'T A GOOD REASON FOR THIS WAR AND HAVE CAUSED THE DEATH OF MANY INNOCENT WEMEN CHILDREN AND MEN,OUR COUNTRY HAS CONDONE TORTURE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY INNOCENT OF ANY WRONG DOING EXCEPT TRYING TO FEED THEIR FAMILY,THIS IS AN OCCUPATION OF GREED AND BUSH AND HIS BUDDIES ARE GETTING RICHER ON THE POOR SOULS WHO WERE DOING FINE UNTIL WE DISTROYED THEIR LIVES AND WAY OF LIVING AS U.S. CITIZENS WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF OUR SELVES NOT VOICEING OUR OUTRAGE DEMONSTRATEING TO END THIS WAR HAVE WE REALLY BECOME THAT LAZY AND SELF ASORBED SO UNCONCERNED ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND WHAT OUR POLITICIANS ARE DOING.I PERSONALLY HOLD MY HEAD IN SHAME FOR MY OWN LACK OF ACTION AND EMBARASSMENT FOR WHAT OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN DOING SHAME ON US.

Well I for one, when I lived in San Francisco, attended many anti war rallies.....I tried to do my part but what good did it do?>????? I am only one of many.....the world needs to put up a UNITED FRONT!!!!

Why should mothers lose their sons and daughters for this war????

you can put up all the united front ya want but when the people we elect are the priviledged few what do they care about what the little people think.Most congressman and senators regard the constituients as public enemy number one and spend our money like its their own on this friggin war.Bush does not represent the people of America either.2008 can't come soon enough for me.

Presidents should not be allowed to be president for more than a year at a time.......how do you get the law changed???

i do think it would be a good idea to require representatives
children of military age to serve in combat if there is a
war - including the executive branch. i also think that Saddam
was an accident waiting to happen and that he did need to be
dealt with - but the world shirked its responsibility as
it is doing with many other conflicts around the globe...

the UN is a joke and primarily wastes money jawboning while
real people are mutilated and all sorts of crucial issues
languish.

the price of freedom is still eternal vigilance. term limits
are also an excellent idea.

That Pink video was good wasnt it Dragoness!!

According to the Canadian Government gypsy there are no Canadian troops in Iraq! Good for Canada I guess, but when the two Canadians were taken hostage, sometime ago they sent in a small unit to help rescue them.

I honestly dont think there are any there now! I know there weren't at the beginning of the war!

United States: 250,000 invasion--168,000 current (9/07)
United Kingdom: 45,000 invasion--5,250 current (10/07)
Poland: 194 invasion--2,500 peak--900 current (2/07)
Australia: 2,000 invasion--~1000 current (11/07)


There those are the numbers. During the invasion and as of 11-2007! No Canadians!!! hmmmmmmmm......

Fanta dig a little deeper. You'll find that JTF2 is in Iraq AO at the request of US military and has been for a while.

Want a little background? JTF2 was started in mid 1980's. It's operations however only came to light about 5 years ago and only in very limited amounts to the public.

Fanta.......I know of quite a few Canadians in Iraq...or maybe you think they are only there for sight seeing???

That must be the 31 fury!
Im not denying that 31 Canadian troops are there! Cant really tell if they are or they aint! They were for a rescue mission for Canadian civilians that were held Hostage!

The ironic thing is that the Canadian Government is saying they arent! LIES?????

I do find this;
Nearly 92% of the troops in Iraq are from the United States. The majority of other nations that did deploy troops either confined their men to their bases due to widespread violence, or issued specific orders to avoid hostile engagement (especially true of the Spanish commanded Plus Ultra Brigade).

The United Kingdom, Poland and Australia are the only nations engaged in occasional raids.

Prove it gypsy!

I cant!
I wished I could, but it just aint there!
Sorry, I know you wished they were!!

Ok.......and we want to argue exactly how many other countries are there????? Does this make sense???

Are you for this war or against it????

Behind you girl
