If Canada was sending troops and tanks into the area it would be a different story.
But what does Canada gain. Like you said before, other countries choose sides based on where thier interests lie. Is Canada just standing up for whats right because we are good people? Does Canada have interests in supporting Isreal? I was just a little suprised by it. I guess it doesn't really matter that much, but I would have preferred a more neutral statement.
