> > Hi; As a Canadian I have watched the Iraq situation with concern and apprehension. Like most Canadians I feel strongly connected to U.S.A.; Funny I don't feel that way, and now even more so than ever. >I have always loved and respected their love of capitalism and democracy. They actually have a great hubris and love of money, not the same. >It is very sad that so many Amercians and innocent Iraq citizens are being killed or seriously wounded especially when the deaths could of/can be avoided. It is the duty of every soldier to refuse to obey illegal orders, and since the whole invasion is illegal they have a legal and moral duty to disobey and get out. >What is far more disturbing is the loss of freedom and individual rights within the USA--a loss that can easily spread across to Canada and beyond. Too late,already done. >To any intelligent observer the best course of action, post 9/11, would of been the launch of a co-ordinated international police action NOT an unnecessary, illegal, and unjust war--a never ending one. As soon as the democratic process of a general vote at the Un was obviously NOT going to be in favour of war, the US walked out and invaded. >America would of been completely supported in such an action, would of been accepted as leaders in the action, and all of the world would of been significantly safer with such an action. I know that there are many Americans who share my concerns. I know that it is a significant act of bravery for an American to actual voice their opposition to the Iraq war--I encourage and salute such bravery. I pray that America will return to her previous role as a moderate, intelligent, and benign world leader ( one with flaws but always willing to debate and change their actions). America has never ever done anything sacrificially. It's hubris makes it think so, but the hard facts are that whenever the USA has "helped" anyone it has ALWAYS been with a whole whack of strings attached.
