I think Canada should start spending $ on a sizable military....so they can have an opinion on world conflict (first of all). And no...a few special forces ground troops in Afghanistan doesn't count.
Iran is not a threat to world peace, its leadership is. So long as they have a hardliner stance against Israel (and their large nuclear arsenal) they are in fact a threat to world peace.
I'll remind our soldiers that Americans like you shit on them for not... having more of them..
And the USA is clearly the biggest threat to world peace. Your $30bln a year in "aid" to Israel is a threat to world peace in itself.
Are you seriously trying to say your country has made all the right moves? :P
not at all....in fact, as a big supporter of the ACLU & several anti war movements....i hate the fact that countries like IRAN give Bush continued reason to carry on with his wars
i wish they would all just shut the fuck up, stop with the roadside bombs, stop making anti semetic remarks & stop making nukes for about 6 months....so we can wrap this war up & get my friends home
so lemme ask you a question, how much time & $ have you donated to seeing this war on our civil rights & muslim friends ended? mine can be counted in the thousands & hundreds....
so get down off the church pew & do something my semi-weak Canadian allies
i've given up on complaining about it now. i now fully support the united states conquest of the entire world. just get it fucking over already. nuke the entire continent of asia and threaten the rest of the world with the same. ONE WORLD ORDER FTW!!!
Iran is clearly a threat to world peace so whats the big deal about saying that?
if by world, you mean israel, sure. the usa is a far bigger threat to "world" peace that any other force going. fighting for "world peace" in conflicts that really have nothing to do with them is just a means of spreading their sphere of influence throughout the world.
again, i wish they'd quit wasting time and just blow asia clear off the map so i could quit listening to this shit...
Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order
Amazon.com
From its opening-line salvo—"It is time to stop pretending that Europeans and Americans share a common view of the world, or even that they occupy the same world"—Of Paradise and Power announces a new phase in the relationship between the United States and Europe. Robert Kagan begins this illuminating essay by laying out the general differences as he sees them: the U.S. is quicker to use military force, less patient with diplomacy, and more willing to coerce (or bribe) other nations in order to get a desired result. Europe, on the other hand, places greater emphasis on diplomacy, takes a much longer view of history and problem solving, and has greater faith in international law and cooperation. Kagan does not view these differences as the result of innate national character, but as a time-honored historical reality--the U.S. is merely behaving like the powerful nation it is, just as the great European nations once did when they ruled the world. Now, Europe must act multilaterally because it has no choice. The "UN Security Council is a substitute for the power they lack," he writes.
Kagan also emphasizes the inherent ironies present in the relationship. European nations have enjoyed an "American security guarantee" for nearly 60 years, allowing them to cut back on defense spending while criticizing the U.S. for not doing the same. Yet Europe relies upon the U.S. for protection. This has led America and Europe to view the same threats much differently, as evidenced by the split over how to deal with Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Kagan points out that some European leaders are more afraid of how the U.S. will wield its power in the Middle East than they are of the thought of Hussein or other "rogue state" leaders acquiring weapons of mass destruction.
Kagan’s brevity is as impressive as it is appreciated; most writers would have required thrice as many pages to get to their point. At any length, the book is nothing short of brilliant. This is essential reading for those seeking to understand the post-Cold War world.
My girlfriend is Persian, and her country is not a threat. Bush is a D.L.P.O.S. and the americans who cant accept that are as dumb as he is.
Remember, the easiest way to spot a dumb person is whether or not they can accept the fact that they don't know as much as they can...which is everyone!!! including me. True stupidity lies in the ideal that one is always correct.

Hey douchebag, Canadian troops are currently in Afghanistan cleaning up the mess your military started.
We don't need a large military to be better than you. We just are by default.
