So three out of four parties are "bad" (wrong?). 64% (forgive the crappy metric) of Canada agrees with something "bad"? Or maybe it's the 36% who are out to lunch? I don't think it's either. I don't think it can be dichotomized like that. To presume what you are presuming is ignorant though, to be sure.

This is not a fair statement. In fact, I find it quite offensive.

This is a non sequitur. They started it, therefore they must support finishing it? Sorry, that doesn't follow in the slightest. The only thing infuriating is your lack of logic fundamentals.

This is a great post. This is one of the biggest reasons I am against this war. But the human race through all of history has thought itself the best there is or ever could be, on a global scale and on a provincial scale. Most of this attitude has drifted away (geocentric universe for example) but some provincial attitudes still exist, evidenced by wars built on ignorant attitudes like this.

If such a thing were ever to happen in this country for a war as pointless as this one, I would be eating swedish meatballs in Stockholm before you could say "tre kronor".
But then again, I'm gutless.
