If I am not mistaken here I read many moons ago that a reporter was able to locate Bin Laden and interview him. The military could not find him. Unh? Maybe Bin Laden was on the CIA payroll for all we know. Hey, you never know. And apparently, all of the soldiers involved in the apprehension of Laden, all eventually died in an helicopter air crash together. Unh? Just saying.

I don't know and I don't care about this Yzerman, who ever that son of a bits is. I was just wondering because only Americans would have the nerve to say "the world can't do anything about us because we are the most powerful people on Earth" even though I have no doubt in my heart that Canadians can do anything, even defeat the 3rd most powerful nation on Earth; I said 3rd because according to experts, China and Russia are more powerful.

No, anyone with any objective analysis of the situation can see that Canada was in no position to dictate to America on their foreign policy regarding Iraq, even if they wanted to, which they didn't. If a Canadian doesn't know who Steve Yzerman is, then they shouldn't go around accusing those who do of not being Canadian, pro tip.

In fact, why didn't the world stopped America? And when I say stop I don't mean protesting, I mean "stop it".... A number of reasons. 1) Foreign Entanglements, UN and NATO for example 2) Lack of most nations to fund their own National Defense fully, thus relying on the US and making those nations client states 3) Foreign contributions. The US pays out a ton of money to foreign nations all around the world. These contributions buy influence and votes at bodies like the UN. Remember that the Iraq war was Internationally Legal and sanctioned by the UN. Countries worried about things like Iraq should work to become fully independent of the United States, then their leaders would likely not feel obligated or influenced to enter engagements like Iraq. End Note: Singling out Iraq as the 'Bad War' is juvenile. Where is the outrage for the US smuggling weapons into Syria, or destroying Libya just because; By the way, those are international military operations as well.

America also burned down a lot of the Upper Canadian countryside, going to war with America over Iraq, hard pass. Even if Canada did, how would that prevent the US from invading Iraq? It wouldn't.

For the record, I've been opposed to those actions from the start. Endless war is not a good policy. I'm for Fortress America. It's time for the US to pull back, re-assess our foreign and domestic policies. Canada and many other nations have been enablers to American Imperialism. Since WWII most Western nations have been happy to let the US do what they want in exchange for providing defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, it's pretty fucking shameful that we destroyed Libya like we did and then smuggled weapons from Libya to Syria to destroy Assad. The bulk of Americans, I'm sad to say, are oblivious to this. Sadly the world went along with it all. Very frustrating for me. Not that long ago, we put people in jail for Iran-Contra, this was very much the same thing. Now we have this Gang of Eight in the US. Easy to buy off 8 people, and say you've notified Congress. Not a good situation for the US or anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US needs a hard reset. Too much power in Washington DC and they extend that power across the globe. Other nations can help us, and themselves out by saying No Thanks to having the US defend them and taking US dollars. I don't like the Swamp In Washington DC anymore than you. But don't get confused, I am American to the core and will always defend her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably say no to the defense thing but yes to the dollars thing and they might requests that the supposed money for the defense thing be converted into money and given to them so they have money and more money while they hate you and want to kill you. And you still haven't answered the part about being president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
