Let me be the first to thank you for protecting us from the Filipino's invasion at
the start of the 1900s. Without the US killing of 500,000 unarmed men, women and
children, Canada would not be in existence today.

We often forget that we have SO much to thank you for. We ALL appreciate what
you've done for Canada in the course of all these interventions..I never even
realized they were all out to get us. Talk about leading a sheltered life.

Thank you and may you forever remain the salvation of Canada and Western Civilization.

Eastern Civilization is grateful as well. Especially Iraq considering:

IRAQ DEATHS DUE TO US INVASION
The number is shocking and sobering.
It is at least 10 times greater than most estimates cited in the US
media, yet it is based on a scientific study of violent Iraqi deaths
caused by the U.S.-led invasion of March 2003.

That study, published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet,
estimated that over 600,000 Iraqis had been killed as a result of the
invasion as of July 2006. Iraqis have continued to be killed since
then. The graphic above provides a rough daily update of this number
based on a rate of increase derived from the Iraq Body Count. (See the
complete explanation.)

The estimate that over a million Iraqis have died received independent
confirmation from a prestigious British polling agency in September
2007. Opinion Research Business estimated that 1.2 million Iraqis have
been killed violently since the US invasion.

This devastating human toll demands greater recognition. It eclipses
the Rwandan genocide and our leaders are directly responsible. Little
wonder they do not publicly cite it.
