<div style='font: bold 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>...but hey, I don't blame them. Why bring any heat on your country? Our country will do the dirty work and take all the heat because we're the only ones who can. I'm sure the German, French and Canadian armies could take out Saddam without US support if it came down to it, right? It's not like the UN hasn't already proven it's impotence in not being able to make Saddam comply with the terms of his surrender after 12 years, or it's complete unwillingness to enforce the resolution it ALREADY PASSED unanimously...yeah, that little 1441 deal that sanctioned force if Saddam didn't comply but didn't provide a timeline because no one in the UN has any fucking backbone...whether anyone likes it or not, the US is justified in using force to make Irag comply with THE TERMS OF THEIR SURRENDER (in case anyone forgot that that's the point) which the UN has said that Saddam is in violation of...it should have been done 12 years ago but Bush Sr. backed down to save american troop casualties (and because he lacked the balls to finish it) and let the UN take care of it, it should have been taken care of in 98 when they threw the inspectors out but Clinton cared more about polls and blowjobs to do anything, it should have been handled by a joint UN/US force now but a few countries lack the balls to back up what they say...

...and now we're doing it with only a handful of the countries that were with us in 91...and guess what, Canada was there in 91 too, and no matter how you spin it, it's fucking bullshit that you're backing down now when it's time to finish the job...don't even think you look good because of this...and don't think I'm some ignorant American...I live on the border, I watch the Canadian news almost every night...this is a political move by your P.M., not one for his people...your country is as split on this issue as our country is...the only people he's appeasing are his fellow politicians that want to keep their hands clean...don't buy the spin..</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I mean no offense, but Iraq complied with the UN reolutions, Bush by invading Iraq is actually performing a criminal act by the UN law, invading a sovereign nation is the reason why Iraq got in trouble the first time.

Besides, you don't seam to understand the situation of war, many many people are going to die. If you remember what happened to the US on September 11th, this is going to be at least 10 times worse to Iraq than it was to New York. So before you open your mouth and speak retarded bullshit that Bush's propaganda has told you to believe, look with your own eyes and see the truth.

Also, a political move by my Prime Minister? What the hell are you talking about, he is retiring in a couple of years, the guy who is replacing him as the leader of the Canadian Liberal party is his largest political rival. Perhaps I should tell you a bit about democracy, the leaders represent the public, and that is exactly what Chretien is doing, what the hell is your problem with that?</div>

I think this was more a decision based on popular opinion. A CBC poll found the numbers to be 25%/75% support/oppose without UN backing. Oddly enough, with UN approval, the numbers were 65%/35% support/oppose.

I don't really care, myself. I'm just eager to see how the American public will view Bush after he's out of office, and the propaganda train has been derailed.</div>
