Post; Should Canada Go To Iraq?


The new Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper might send Canadian troops to Iraq. Do you think this is a good idea?

Umm...Of course. It couldn't hurt having more troops helping out the US and the Coalition.

I doubt he would! I doubt he can but if Canada takes a greater role in the world affairs, it is very good

That would be great. Canada and the USA should be greater allies. And Canada's troops are good soldiers too. More troops on the ground means quicker time to help rebuild Iraq.

I would like Canada a lot more if they sent troops.

In a word, no. Sorry guys, but we have supported you in many other battles, wars, policies, etc. this time, I think we should stay out of it. I'll tell you whay... in a later post.

(Apologies to all our Canadian members)
I can't see Canada getting involved in the Iraq debacle. Canada is supposed to be allied with us but chose to sit out the original invasion and I can not see any advantage for sending their troops at this time.

Canada never completely repaid any of the loans from WWII and they would NOT be willing to come through with monies at this late date to help pay for men, materials and rebuilding without there being a 'Quid pro quo".

I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY TRADE BEING OFFERED TO CANADA FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION, HAVE YOU?

It would be great for the folks already there, but not such a good political move for the new government. Talking about it gets the message across that there is a new sheriff in town without the fallout when folks start coming home in flag draped coffins.

What do YOU know about Canada, Morten? Have you even been there? As if you would know anything about the MOTIVATION of an entire nation. Ridiculous.
