You mean the Taliban in Afghanistan?

They were reported to have been rejoicing when 9/11 happened. I think there was a video of it in the news.

Rejoicing? Probably, they were sworn enemies of the States. That is no reason to hate and kill them.

Sadly, a lot of people around the world were probably happy after 9/11.

I hate them but I don't see any reason to kill them. I don't know bro. Maybe they deserved to be attacked.

That's a stupid position IMO. The same could be said about America deserving to be attacked, it doesn't make it right. Iraq was no threat to anyone and it hadn't been for a long time.

I don't know who has the stupid position bro but I still feel that Iraq was becoming a threat to its neighboring countries and even to some muslim groups/villages.

How? You can make these assertions all you want, but you haven't provided any facts. Iraq was crippled militarily and economically by the sanctions put in place following the Gulf war. They barely, if at all, had the military capacity to defend their own borders.
1+1 does not equal 3. Because America was attack by (mainly) Saudi's operating out of Afghanistan, Iraq deserves to be attacked?

Exactly. Iraq was like a Great White with all its teeth pulled out.

And the invasion proved it. Iraq crumbled in a few days.

How so?
If they had been,their immediate neighbors Syria Turkey and Iran,would have welcomed our invasion.
All were against it
Iraq was a threat to bad cigars,and moustache wax,and thats about it

I still believe that Iraq was a threat to the world. They were/are protecting Muslim terrorists.

These terrorists have a way of making stories as if they are the victims. I know it bro.

MILF, a muslim terrorist group in my country, would usually deny their acts of civilian killings. They are wreaking havoc to rural areas and after putting villages to fire they would say that it's the military doing it.

I know how these terrorists fabricate stories.

You can believe what you want, it doesn't make it true. Show some evidence of these ridiculous claims. I would be amazed if you could.

Terrorists have never claimed to victimized by the Iraq War, it is the single most important thing in helping them gain new recruits. It also gives them an easy venue for killing Americans.

You have no idea what you're talking about and the situation in the Philippines is not related in any way shape or form to Iraq.

Just wondering,How many Canadians are deployed in Iraq?Also have taken casualties in Afghanistan.Odd,I can walk over to my neighbors shot-gun house in cajun country and have this same banter of Nationality .

Propaganda smothered us after 9/11.But that shit don't matter to the guy next to you.Nor the civilians,the economists and least of all........The politicians.A Governments dictates do not automatically reflect the citizen's.Btw.....Go Saints

There are no Canadian solders in Iraq. In Afghanistan, Canadian soldiers have been taking casualties at a comparable and at times higher rate than U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

While I agree with you that the gov't does not reflect the wishes of all its citizens, citizens in a democracy (supposedly) have the ability to stop these things from happening. Iraq was a very popular war initially.

I'm certainly not claiming every American felt the same way. Not for a second. However, the climate was such that dissent was not well tolerated and I think a lot of people were cowed into silence. Kudos to those who did step up and stick their necks out.

My exact quote during the UN hearings(talk about a show trial) was "We dont seem to be able to take yes for an answer"
It would have been like carpet bombing Michigan and Pennsylvania for Christian Posse Comitatus and Aryan Nations.
Actually that would have made more sense then Iraq did.
At least they had direct involvement in Oklahoma City, unlike Iraq and 9/11

Does it really matter though,Dead is dead.The citizens have the ability to stop the actions of the Government once elected, set in motion just as much as a guy flagging down a city bus.......while standing in front of it .

Dead is certainly dead. You asked if there were Canadian troops in Iraq, I assumed it was a serious question so I answered it.

As for the civilian/gov't thing, I do agree. The only thing that stops wars is economics.
