Sudan vs. Iraq

Of course we do. They just don't align with yours. Deal with it.



We lead where it matters. When it's not about oil, and it's not about self-interest, and it's not about blowing stuff up, and it's not about posturing, and it's not about politics, and it's not about revenge... I think you get the picture.

We go where no one else gives a shit.

Peacekeepers don't get many medals. We don't often get recognition. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find an average Canadian who knows all the countries where our people are serving. But we go, and clean up the mess that others make.

Where has Canada, the 8th largest economy in the world, an innovation powerhouse, taken a lead? I'm waiting for a direct answer.

Cyprus (Lester B Pearson's proposal to send peacekeepers to the region won him the Nobel Peace Prize).

Haiti,

Bosnia (Gen Dallaire lead the UN Peace Force).

Of course, Canada doesn't have a CIA to topple the government of other countries through US-sponsored coups, illegal wars and outright assassination, That's just the style used by the USofA.
Now shut up and go clean your rifle.

You’re kidding right! The Dayton Peace Accord was signed about 5 miles from where I’m sitting, that was a US driven effort. IFOR had 60,000 troops (aprox), how many of those were Canadian? Who supplied the manpower, airpower, and political will…… You rode in the back seat as usual.

Or an Air force or a Navy or transport capability or sufficient armor. The only thing you seem to have adequate supply of (in addition to excellent solders) is insecurity and arrogance. Such a powerful combination. Now go tape your hockey stick.
