"Canada is, and has been very active in the war on terrorism. You are mixing the war on terrorism with our Governments appalling backtracking in Iraq."

As was pointed out to you, Iraq is part of the war on terror. Canada blew it. I would prefer to see Canadians admit the truth than play this irritating game of trying to say that Canada is some kind of great ally and friend of America. Canada is not. And the "contribution" in Afghanistan is certainly not impressive -- at least not to me. I believe that we had to transport them there. And how many are there? 2,000?

You have made your point with me already and I know where you stand on Canadian American relations. Until you can post something constructive on these issues other than ongoing bashin, I an done with you.

Canada blew it when it blind sided the American military because the UN did not approve of the War and then immediately sent it's troops to Halfganistan instead of Iraq.

However, it did help at sea, in AWACS planes and actually in a very small role on the ground (rotation troops) but the two faced PM that is leaving refused to acknowledge the role.

The money and the role in Halfganistan is large for our country's military.

As I said before, if the American, who have every right to do so, barr countries companies from participating in bids .... well that is fine by me. Americans loss of life justifies such action at the least. But in the same breathe, as a Canadian Taxpayer, we should not be giving any more aid to Iraq or provide and withdraw troops as this attitude by the American Government suggests that they want to go it alone with the countries they have.
