Wow... for once we agree... yep that's why Canada is Canada... Respect and Equality are pretty much the foundations Canadian law.

Being an "expert" on the Geneva Convention I guess just comes from being a Canadian soldier... after all it is covered during basic training, again in trades training, every year as part of the legal review lectures, again when go to any combat leadership training, and finally before any deployment... so you can't help but become familiar with it...

As for quoting FOX.. wow I remembered a sentence yah for me... it's not like I quoted an entire broadcast... and no I didn't copy and paste (I proud to say I haven't even visited the FOX news website).

I know about beheadings because I witnessed one personally and cleaned up after a half dozen more while with the UN. It is one of the things that I wish I didn't know about....

I know how to fight wars and the military because one I was in the military, two I'm a guide for the UofT War Memorial, three I'm a member of CISS (Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies), and four I have a undergradute degree in Military Science (which is why I'm back in school... not much you can do with that degree).

I now a bit about France because my younger brother lived there for two years (hockey), I have visted four times, and my family has hosted six exchange students from France... I repeat I know a bit, not everything.

I know all about America from the news, newspapers, magazines, radio, internet, history courses, visits from American LCAs, from the Americans in my chapter, visits from US Marines, my yearly visits to my family and friends, from the Fraternity and school conferences... I think it would be hard for you to understand the level of information from the US that your exposed to on a daily basis here in Canada...

As for the psychology... I have taken three years of psychology, anthropology, and sociology as part of my many many years at school.

See Randy when your old like me (as you so often point out) you tend to pick-up a lot of experience and information....
