Canada provides specialized support for the American forces, such as theï»¿ radar stations known as the DEW Line that spied on the Soviets from the 1950s on. Also, we played a minor role in training the Rangers – the guys who rounded up Vietnamese civillians for death by torture in Operation Phoenix. 160,000 people, mostly women and children, died in those camps.We don’t have a big enough army to defend ourselves against the Danes, should they decide to invade over the Hans Island issue.

Canada has has a population 1/10th the that of the US. Do the math: what size army do you think we can raise on such a small tax base? Yet we have a lrger land mass to defend. Since the Ogdensburg Agreement of 1940, Canada has integrated ourï»¿ armed forces with those of the US and they are at the disposal of the US head of state. Despite our refusal to declare war on Iraq, we have more forces in Iraq than do any of the other members of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing”.

You’ll notice the US had to starve Iraq for ten years with boycotts and sanctions before they dared invade. They got fought to a standstill in Korea, got beat in Vietnam, and used proxy armies in Central America. Now, they don’t go anywhere if they think theyï»¿ might get hurt.

The Iraqi peopleï»¿ are the victims, and the international corporations are more interested in profit than anything else. No power, No water what the fck has improved, how can you expect a widow who has lost her husband, children and house to sit down and hope the murderers of her entire family come to bring freedom. One must be an idiot , wake tf up.
