Then maybe DP should make it so that only people with American IP addresses can log on. Until then, STFU. :2wave:

Ah another pro-censorship free-range Canadian :mrgreen:

Yes, we in Canada are aware of the propaganda war between the radicals and the American media. We were also sold similar stories when it came to the invasion of Iraq, and we didn't buy into it, which is why we never joined the "coalition of the willing".

We will never defeat terrorism. The idea that we can is a perpetual lie. Furthermore, you cannot defeat terrorism by committing acts of terror. If you want terrorism to stop, then stop terrorizing people. It's that simple. We have not brought peace to the Middle East; we've brought more chaos, death, and destruction to ancient civilizations. They hate us even more now, but of course, they hate the U.S. the most.

Calling it burying our heads in the sand is just laughable. Why should we get involved in a protracted conflict that doesn't affect us? What did Iraq have to do with the war on terror? The answer is nothing. All of those resources could have been put to use in the Afghan front, which by the way Canada was leading during America's tangent and media blitz in Iraq. While America was too busy debating the finer points of attacking Baghdad, the rest of NATO was busy maintaining Afghanistan. Canada commanded the South until recently. But will you admit that? No. You glossed over my last post, and continue to put your foot in your mouth.

Furthermore, Al Qaeda has been fairly crippled by allied forces. I doubt it poses the same risk as it once did. Bin Laden is probably dead, given that we haven't seen a clear video recording of him in years. Then again, we have sewed the seeds of the next generational hatred towards the U.S. by blowing up so many innocent people, so the dangers are even greater.

The idea that we are defending ourselves is a myth. The ME campaigns are about conquest and little else.

Very well said, Orius. :applaud

Chretien made a lot of piss poor decisions as Prime Minister, but not going to Iraq was one of his few good ones.

Nice way of glossing over yet another lengthy post directed at you. I see you have no interest in debate, just dishing out unclever one-liners.

I gave you what I felt your OP and subsequent one-liner follow-ups deserved. You didn't post this thread for real debate, you posted it to troll.

If that's true then why do you keep responding?

My advice has always been to ignore trolls. If you are bothered then there's nothing forcing you to give your input.

In any case, I didn't create this thread to troll.

She's a DM, it's kind of her job to feed trolls....in fact I'm sure it's in the DM description somewhere.

Must teach. Must force opinion on others no matter the topic. Must do it in a very untroll like manner.

Looks to me like you're the one doing the trolling now, as usual.
 
I would just like to know what the thread starter has against American servicemembers and the tools they use to defend not only this nation. but his nation as well?

They make him feel emasculated. He senses that real men (and women) are willing to fight and die for their country, but cannot find that desire within himself. Thus, he must attack it wherever he sees it. The "Don't Tread on Me" nature of the U.S. makes him distinctly uncomfortable.
