No...because hes not american.

Um, how many individual examples of Americans dying do YOU see in the news? Hardly any, unless they played pro football. We get a number at the end of every day, just like you. I am even offended for you to even begin quoting casualties when your nation has NONE. How many bodies are being sent home draped in Canadian flags? How many friends do you have that are in the military and are currently overseas? Where do you get off quoting ANYTHING having to do with body counts? (By the way, I like Canada and I know there are many Canadians that support the US, and I appreciate all of them.)

And speaking as an American, I can say that I respect the English to the highest degree and they are excellent allies and warriors.

Strangler, the way you act most of the time is why most of the world hates america, taking things as if they are 100% truths. You said you dont like how the Media is doing this...your doing the same basic thing.

Except I quote FACTS and debunk the MISTRUTHS and spin that is warping your brain. I pointed out the corruption in the Oil for Food program over a YEAR ago, and now suddenly it comes out and its basically IGNORED by the media.

You on the other hand spew out generalizations and heresay that you probably heard someone else blather without any qualification whatsoever.

Most Americans feel that every little incident to do with war is their business, but the casualties are none of their faults. The war in Iraq was none Americas business, sure Saddam was...but not the rest. So what muslims are killing eachother, it doesnt mean you can bomb the crap out of them over speculation.

I'm glad you feel free to speak for most Americans considering your Canadian, but thats neither here nor there.

12 years of UN resolution violations are not speculation, they are fact. That Iraq trained 9/11 and other terrorists as well as supplying funding for terrorist activities is not speculation, it is fact.

And you keep saying that we bombed the crap out of them, while anyone who paid attention to the war would know that the US made every effort to spare as many civilian facilities as possible, maintain the infrastructure of Bagdad as well as the other cities and avoid civilian casualties. Did you see any carpet bombing going on? Didn't think so.

But that doesn't matter to you because the fiction you've invented pertaining to the war takes precedence over what actually happened. It doesn't matter what the reality of the situation is or what the big picture is, you just want to hear what pats you on the back.

And Saddam doesnt have or never did have any Weapons of mass destruction....Bush does.

Bush has never used them... Saddam did on several occasions.

And by the way that it a perfect example of the gross generalizations you make that sound good but mean NOTHING.

I've said this before and ill say it again, "War kills many, and produces nothing"

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "War kills many and produced only freedom for African slaves, life for Jews during WW2 when they were being slaughtered, the halt and regression of fascist communism, independence of my own nation, etc, etc, etc."
