Phil, I am new to this board yet have read it for over a year. I am so impressed how many people write so eloquentally and brilliantly. Phil your post was just that to me.
I really do not feel very proud, under the circumstances, to say that I am Canadian. I felt sick to my stomach when our Prime Minister came on TV and said we would only go to war with UN sanction. His decision does not reflect the feelings of most Canadians. We should be in Iraq with the US and Britain. Having said that, I agree with what you had to say. I am sick of seeing the US bashed. Your soldiers are putting their lives on the line for freedom. To me President Bush has amazing resolve and "..... of steel". I cannot imagine having been the President who has to deal with the reprucussions of 911. Personally, I believe he is doing what he feels is right to protect the citizens of the U.S. I do not think he can take the risk of Saddam being aloud to continue with his weapons and to continue to play the game with the UN inspectors.
To liberate Iraq from this monster, in my opinion, is a matter of principle with President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.
I hope you don't mind me writing this not being a U.S. citizen but I fully support your country and your soldiers.
