Fact #3 A true quotation

" In beloved Iraq, blood is flowing between brothers, in the shadow of
an illegitimate foreign occupation, and abhorrent sectarianism
threatens a civil war."
.....King Abdulla, Saudi Arabia

source: Craig Whitlock, Washington Post, March 29, 2007.

One of your allies is looking a little shaky there. "illegitimate
foreign occupation." "He who is not with us is against us"...Bush.
Maybe it's time to smash things and kill people. Wait a minute!
Canada isn't with you on this either. Hmmm, Not a good idea.
Besides, the US needs the oil....from both countries.

So,,,why are Canadians there then?
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""'
There are no Canadian forces in Iraq. The US invaded Iraq in defiance
of a United Nations mandate and Canada is not a rogue nation.

Canadian forces are in Afghanistan. The Afghan war is a U.N. -
sanctioned invasion.

Even the Pope has declared the Iraq invasion "an unjust war" Catholic
soldiers who participate in an unjust war are commiting a mortal sin.
I bet you don't hear that in the US - controlled media.

There may be some Canadians in Iraq but they would be NGO's like
Doctors Without Borders, and Amnesty International, that sort of
thing. The traditional role of Canadian forces is that of peacekeeping
and rebuilding, not killing.

The main effort of the Canadians is that of stabilization and
rebuilding: schools, water supplies, hosptals. However, the Taliban
keep shooting at them and they have to return fire and chase them
down. The government has just ordered 1.5 billion dollars worth of
Leopard tanks, so I think they will be there for a while.
