They are not only neighbors; a lot of them are family members.  Cousins, nephews, nieces and yes, brothers and sisters. There is very little difference in our way of life and theirs. Having spent considerable time living in France, Belgium and Germany, I know we have a better life here. And why would I think that is so???  It’s most likely due to the fact we are living under the umbrella of protection provided by the “Americans”.  And if you don’t believe this. Just look at our military. Our Canadian way of life provides many freedoms and benefits. One of these is the knowledge that we are relatively free from outside aggression because of our closeness to the Americans.  Along with this is the comfort we enjoy because of the effort of other nations in the world who wish to live in peace. They have voluntarily signed agreements to form and support a group of more than half the nations of the world, united in the same objective of having the world live in peace. Not all nations agree with this.  They wish to pursue their own agenda, for whatever reason.  Without some form of control in the world, these rogue nations would pose a threat to all of us by imposing their dictatorial way of life on us.  The losses to us are almost too much to comprehend. When Saddam Hussein demonstrated his evilness to the world by invading his neighbor Kuwait, and subsequently murdering thousands of his own people by using chemical and biological agents, he attracted the attention of the United Nations.  This organization demanded that he disarm and destroy his weapons of mass destruction.  He has not done it.  He is defying the world.  What choice is left?????         ----- Original Message ----- From: Lesley and Dave To: Chris Heslin ; Faith Heslin ; Jamie Heslin ; Larry/Diane McClure ; David Webster ; MacLean List Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 8:37 PM Subject: Fwd: Fw: Story    Note: forwarded message attached.   Do you Yahoo!?
