hey Sandy

Picture a Middle East without a US influence. What do you see? I see Israel whiped out, Iraq and others with WMD and disaster.

The US has been kept even the Middle East in (relative) peace.

The Cold War is over, maybe the US should go back to being an isolationist nation... Let the French, Canadians, whoever fend for themselves. Britain, Japan, Australia, Isreal, and a few other nations still have a military to defend themselves, which they do. Maybe France wouldn't have such great healthcare if they had to pay to protect themselves...

Okay... well...

First I want you to take, like, twenty deep breaths.... Clear your mind...

Sit back, and relax....

Then look at http://costofwar.com/.

Then take a minute to consider the conditions, pre-war.

Now, imagine those same billions... at that rate, that fast, POURING into your enemy's educational, irrigation, and health systems...

Go back and watch those numbers in that context. Pick any country. Anywhere. Any of your enemies.

While you watch those numbers flash by, imagine every one of those dollars streaming into that country in, say, 1999.

The potential for good.... of good-will, of.... like, HERO status is unmistakeable. They would KISS YOUR FEET. They'd LOVE you!

Instead, you dump those exact same numbers of dollars into killing them.

For this cost, you coulda HAD em!

It's all twisted....

ummmm.... what?

If the US did not exist, do you think the Middle East ( or Canada) would be better off?

at the risk of sounding to liberal (heaven help us)

What if we did what you said but instead of spending it "over there" we stop spending any (you must admit we send a lot, not in bombs) and spent it all here for our people and let you guys and the EU do it for awhile?

Would that be ok? You know we take care of our own for say 10 years not a dime overseas unless it's to buy something.

The middle east is a **** storm. It was before there was a U.S. and it always will be.

Until these knuckle draggin' neanderthals stop worshipping a non-existent god and fighting over a piece of dirt as if it were somehow magically more special than some other piece of dirt, there will be no end.

I was pointing out that Canada does not have to worry much about defending itself. The US protects Canada and we take most of the burdon, most of the risk and most of the damage in doing what is needed to protect our existance.

The last time i can recall Canada in need of being defended was back in '39.

A war in which there was an obvious clear and present danger. A war in which the US for half of the duration of, turned a blind eye to people like Prescott Bush (your current prez grandpa) and a few other wealthy Americans financing Hitler's war machine, in essence facilitating in the deaths of my relatives as of many other commonwealth soldiers and civillians.

Howdy neighbour!:aok

So we agree, Canada is lucky to be located where it is.

One could argue that geographically, Canada is every bit as vulnerable as the U.S.

...and yet, the Canadian citizens don't seem to tremble in fear.

Why is that?

The only thing middle-eastern terrorists fear more than Allah, is snow.

Really? It's the other way around Nash.

The US is the most powerful nation on earth. Since we are so bad, why don't you worry for the safety of Canada? We are right on your border..the most powerful nation in the history of man.

I'm thinking that Canada is lucky to be located where it is.

No man... You got it wrong...

You are at our border, and it doesn't make me feel safe in the least.

It makes me nervous, frankly.
