so, instead you expect people to abandon their homes and all they have in a third world country. I fail to see how this is a viable option for anyone.

I have a hard time dealing with this issue, because i can see both sides. for one, yes, it would appear that saddam's actions in his own country are considered brutal and, in some cases, extremely disgusting.

But here in Canada, many people hold the same to be true for the United States.

Your argument is fairly simple, but it fails to address a few key points. For one, not many people will flee their homes for the slightest reason, so this "if you don't like it, get out" sort of thing really proves rather ineffective, and just ends up making you look rather stupid. Also, how are these people fighting for your freedom? You can get up every morning and walk the block and a half to the nearest starbucks for your low-fat cappuccino with a double shot at any time you so choose, saddam hussein or no saddam.

"They" have never done anything to you, i imagine. 9/11 was a truly terrible thing and it affected people and families in horrible ways all over the world, but in one day of bombing in iraq, more people die than 9/11. and yet, the United States prolonged the bombing over several days. and iraq was never actually found to have been involved in anything surrounding the incident.

all i can see fit to say to you is, thank god i am canadian. We don't have anything even remotely close to iraq, vietnam, or the bay of pigs to stain our reputation as a democratic nation.

You think it's an accident that american backpackers sew maple leafs on their bags? The United States has become a bloated joke played on democracy.
