I do not believe we should approve of the invasion of Iraq; that would be condoning it and Cretien would be accused of waffling again. I do think we should and would send aid to the Americans if there were any large casualty. I would support sending a Hospital ship or any other medical aid.
Canada is still supporting the "war on terror" We do have peacekeepers in Afghanistan. We have ships patrolling the waters around Afghanistan which have the ok to protect any American ship. Cretien just pledged 100 million towards humanitarian aid in Iraq. I do feel we are doing our share, under the circumstances. I wish Canadians would quit apologizing about not joining this war. We can wish the American soldiers well and pray this is over soon; with a minimal loss of life. Canadians should be proud of Canada and our stand.
