We invented peacekeeping for fucks sake. We may not have a strong military, but we don't need one. WE DON"T PISS PEOPLE OFF! last time i checked there were 3 countries participating in the coalition of the willing, Australia, USA and The United Kingdom, there are more than 200 countries on the face of the planet. Perhaps, just maybe, there is a reason 197+ aren't participating. So know what i would suggest you pull your head out of your ass and stop being ignorant.
You don't have a military because America is your neighbor. It's America's job to protect everyone in this world, and in the end some will eventually turn their backs on the U.S. and we'll keep protecting them. Why? Because everyone needs America whether they like to admit it or not. Is that an ignorant statement? Perhaps, but it does have a point to it.

The reason why Canada sticks out is because they are an enigma. Formerly a British Colony, you'd think they'd side with us and England. But apparently the French in them takes priority. The other 197+ countries don't support us for reasons beyond Canada's excuses. Countries in the middle east risk retaliation, attacks of terrorism from it's citizens, or other factors play a role in their decision. For example, the EU has threatened countries seeking membership that they will lose that chance if they support the war. Canada, on the other hand, doesn't have any of these worries or concerns.

Piss people off? Any country that gets involved in foreign policy is going to have people happy and pissed off. Canada invented peace? Yea, prove that one buddy. And just how exactly is my opinion ignorant, all I said was that Canada has no interest either way in this war so they should just mind their own peace-making business, how is that being ignorant?

My little statement was a joke, but I understand why you take it personally since you live there. But just as a test, for now on I'm calling Canadian Bacon - Freedom Bacon
