"After all, if we're going to go knocking off every genocidal dictator with a taste for weapons of mass destruction who has invaded two of his neighbours and defied 17 U.N. resolutions over a dozen years since a ceasefire that was never honoured in a previous war duly authorized by the Security Council, well, where do you stop?"

Nice satire.

" This war is unjustified under the Charter of the United Nations."

Me thinks this Canafrance resident does not get it. WE are quitting the U.N. before this is all said and done. The gurantees the so called U.N. charter allegedly provides were all lies. So we'll do our own thing. Perhaps the Canucks can get a Security Council resolution to get permission to fart more than once a week or speak in public more than twice per week. After all, all that methane and carbon dioxide from north of the border can not be good for the enviroment and it must be a violation of Kyoto.

I presume that the author is being facetious, right?

"We are in favour of UN resolutions but against their enforcement; against the use of force but in favour of the threat of it; against fighting the war, but in favour of winning it. This is part of Canada's unique national identity. Other countries may support the war without participating in it. Only Canada is participating without supporting it. "

Can I use this this? LOL.

This one writes like Lewis Carroll on cocaine with an LSD chaser. Tweedledum and Tweedledee couldn't have concocted anything more absurd.

Wow... The author has knocked this one out of the park! Mark Steyn better watch out, Andrew Coyne could become a rival for having the clearest vision, sharpest insight, and most piercing wit.

It's perfectly clear. The Americans lack the authority to launch this illegitimate and unnecessary war, which can only bring great suffering and instability to the region. At the same time, clearly it is their privilege and right to do so, and we wish them Godspeed.

This is an absurd, two-faced contradiction.

You have no legitimacy, U.S., but we wish you Godspeed?

It doesn't work that way. If they believe we are wrong, they should not wish us well. If they believe we are right, we cannot have acted illegitimately.

The spineless bastards don't have a conviction. It would make more sense if the Canadians said, "You're wrong, U.S., and Canada can't abide your behavior."

Canada obviously let's a corrupt United Nations dictate its foreign policy decisions.

Biting, searing, satire that is all the more so for its simple truth!

Absolutely hilarious!!!

The present Canadian government is a disaster.

Pray all for the continued rise of the Alliance Party, the Conservative official opposition that is the closest to overtaking the Socialist Nazis.

It is Satire

Brilliant satire too, I might add. He makes the Canuck Government look rediculous.
