And yet another person that lacks maturity to discuss an issue without throwing personal insults. How is anyone supposed to believe that you are mature and experienced enough to know anything about serious issues whn you can't even follow the simple rules you agreed to when you signed up here?
I don't care if the U.S. benefits from Canada doing what is "right". But if Canadians are going to be sacrificing lives for the U.S., then there better be some better respect shown by Bush and his buddies. No more "Soviet Canuckistan" insults, and no more ignoring international judiciaries in our trade disputes. Seriously, Canada is putting it's soldiers, citizens, and repuation on the line for the U.S., and they show us zero respect.
No country ever goes to war for altruistic purposes, and we should be no different.
Sorry if you disagree, but it is my opinion.

I don't disagree with your post - I fact I am as big a Bush hater as anyone- but with Afganistan, I do think we should stay and help rebuild the country.
Its Powell's "pottery barn" analogy...The Taliban were ousted with a true coalition, of which we were a part. Consequently, we owe it to the people of Afghanistan to stay and stabilize their country. What kind of role we play can be argued-we are leading the operational component now I believe-but we should stay.
