Rut,

I won't lump you all together, if y'all promise not to get all your info about Canadians from Pat Buchanan

I believe the majority of the U.S. does not agree with this war, but your fierce nationalism and patriotism (not necessarily bad things) lead many to beat the drums anyway. I will say that most of the people I know up here don't think much of ole George Dub-ya.

Why I disagree with invading Iraq is a much longer discussion. Let's just say your country's duplicity in this matter (and Afghanistan, for that matter) leave me skeptical about the real reasons for this war. I don't believe it's as simple as "war for oil", but it's definitely not because Iraq is a threat.

My hopes and good wishes go out to your Armed Forces. Our Prime Minister refuses to commit military support unless the U.N. mandates it, a position I support. Any Americans who criticize us for that should remember that it took over two years for you folks to pitch in against Adolf Hitler.

The war will be quick and surgical. Hopefully loss of life (American, Iraqui, whomever) will be minimal. Just don't believe any of the news you receive from the front lines. It will all be sanitized by the military. The real battle will be for independent journalists to report the truth.
