    Thanks,

    for the reminder to all as to who declared war on who and WHY the brave men and women of the armed forces are in Iraq doing what they are doing, keeping the promise that we made to get ALL of those who attacked us, and make sure it doesn't happen again.

    It's been a while since I watched that and it made me shed a tear all over again. Thanks.

    Regardless of my Prime Ministers' stance, I and millions of Canadians have not deserted our southern brothers and sisters. Keep going. God bless the troups! We pray for homecomings.

    I am happy that the powers that be are bringing it to them before we see a mushroom cloud over N.Y. or D.C. or any other point in our great nation. God Bless and Good Hunting.

    I was at the Yankees-Blue Jays game last night.Their had been concern about the playing of "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch because of the Canadian government stance and the fact that is was being played at a Canadian home opener.The crowd cheered through the 1st few lines and then sang the rest.I wish our prime minister had been there to see that.

    Good Luck

    PS-I hope Jeiter has a quick recovery

    I can remember the exact moment

    I heard about the Trade Towers. I cancelled all calls and watched CNN in complete horror as the story unfolded. Thank you for reminding me of that horror. While my Prime Minister chooses not to participate directly in this WAR - he does not speak for everyone. This is the final step to a Gulf War unfinished - and hopefully Canada will play a major role with policing and rebuilding once your fine troops are done. Maybe - in fifty years or so - when we are all Deadmen (or Women) history will illustrate that all our roles were vital, important and necessary. And whether we were there fighting the fight - or in Peacekeeping roles later - we were equals. Let all troops come home safely.

    Equals?

    Glen,

    I agree with your sentiment, and that of other Canadians in supporting the U.S.A in this war. I too am ashamed of our government's stand on this war and its response to 9-11.

    But, I must differ with you on one point. Having been a member of the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and having served along side the U.S. forces, and having completed a UN peacekeeping tour in the middle east, I can assure you that there is a distinct difference between peacekeeping and war activities.

    I pray (in addition to troop safety and a rapid and successful outcome to the war) that Canada can somehow redeem themselves after all this.

    Bob -

    I cannot fathom either duty - in my mind both would be hazardous behold belief. My father carried the visions of WW2 to his grave - it was his thoughts that anytime you wore the uniform & defended your country - it was war. If we are able to redeem the mess Chretien has placed us in - it will be via Peacekeeping duties - and having neighbours serve in Crotia and now Sierra Leone - and peacekeeping or not - & still being shot at - that would be war. Thanks for serving Canada.

    righto Bob

    Well, it is great Canadians like you that will rally your people at the next election, and dump these pacifistic bums. The UN, the libs in this country, and the rest of the fools that didn't back us in this war are all about to look very foolish. Mad Dog

    Our Problem...

    ...as Canadians, is that we have aquired 2 conservative parties (similar to republicans) to compete against our liberal (democrat) party. Additionally, the separatist party in Quebec divides votes as well. The net result is that the conservative vote, that is in fact the majority in Canada, gets divided and the liberal/left comes up the middle. In the end we get stuck with self-serving fence-sitters, who think that any anti-American position is the right one. Far less than 50% of Canadians voted for our current Prime Minister or his Liberal Party.

    I hope that you are right about our next election, but I am not holding my breath. But, thanks for the polite remarks.

    Best regards,

    9/11

    I will never forget that day, because I was there, in ground zero! I am member in a local Volunteer Ambulance Service.It was about 9:45, or 9:50 am, on 9/11, when we were told by our dispacher to report to our station. When I got there i was told to proceed to the WTC and stand by. When I got out of the BBT(tunnel),I could not belive my eyes what I saw. There right in front of me was tower 1 on fire. The first thing that came to my mind, this is some kind of a movie that they are shooting here! like the Towering Inferno, but then I saw the most horiffic scene,pepole jumping out of the building, landing right in front of me. We went inside the building and set up a triage center. All of a sudden we were told to get out of the building,because it is not safe.As we ran out,the building started to collapse.As I ran I saw the plume of the smoke and dust right behind me. We ran towards the Hudson River, but the force was so strong, that it knock us down to the ground. For a while we thought that this it!! we are going to die!Some of us were saying our last prayer, and telling the dispacher, to tell our wives that we love them, we would not come out alive.After a while we got up, we could not see,it was hazy,foggy,the air very thick.It was unreal,pepole were walking in a daze,all covered with dust,some covered with blood all over.I can write a book that day,but thank GOD we came out alive. One day I will post pictures on the wall.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA

    MOSES
