Not really. Our government is on the edge. The reason is simple. Bush is insane. Blair will follow the USA to the end of the world for economics reasons. There's a lot of financial transactions between the countries. As for Canada, I'm glad that the PM is finally thinking about sending troops, and not just doing it automatically cause the USA said to.
I will probably take a lot of shit for this, but I am against this war. The reason is simple. It started out with an act of terrorism. Then Bush stated that any country that harbours Terrorists is an ennemy. Fine, aggressive but ok I understand it. THen they spread a Rumour that Bin Laden was in Iraq and was hidden by Saddam. When it was later proven by the Military inteligence that he probably was never in Iraq, the USA's reason for invading Iraq suddenly changed and all of a sudden there is talk about proof that there's weapons of mass destruction.
Simple facts here. Saddam is in charge of a country that exports a LOT of oil to the USA. The Bush family has made their money in Oil and still own a lot of stock in the Oil industry. A lot of the funding for their campaigns was paid for by Oil companies. Now if Saddam is ousted and is replaced with a government that is "western friendly" then maybe taxes and costs of exportation can be lowered, all while keeping the price of oil in the USA at the same price. This means more profit for the oil companies.
And to any gun happy American that thinks the world should hate Muslims and all that, remember one thing.
