Just because we are friends doesn't mean we always have to agree - contrary to popular belief, Canadians and Americans are not the same. We have our own values, beliefs and morals. And you know what? we can make some of our decisions by ourselves. I could go on and on on this subject, but I won't. I just want to let you know that there are other ppl and countries out there, and that we all don't have to agree with the US all the time.

I just want to let you know that you shouldn't talk to all 'Americans" as they are one person. Not all Americans feel that the whole world should agree with our government or make decisions based on the decisions of our government. I agree that we don't have to agree, and on many things our countries don't. That is what makes our countries different. If we always agreed, what the hell would be the point of U.S./Canada, you know?
The point is that a lot of Americans do not agree with the recent decisions of our president or our government. I would be one of those people. You can see this by all the recent protests in our country. But what is done is already done. The powers that be have made the decision to go to war and send our men and women into battle. I will never turn my back on the troops, never.
But the rest of the world acts as if what the U.S. is doing is so horrid and wrong or unjust. But Saddam hasn't been horrid, cruel, unjust to many people in his own country? The Iraq debate has been ignored for far too long and I feel for many of the people in that country. Hopefully the U.S. will have a chance to liberate the country from the Hussein regime.
