I've never underestimated the amount of luck which brought my father and two Uncles home from World War 11. They each had close to five years of active duty (navy & air force) and returned intact. All three are long gone now but they all came back and raised families.

Thanks Alan for the comment. We have 2 young men from this area that will never have the experience of growing old. We need to bring them home and stop sacrificing our people for causes that will never be won.

Agreed!

We also need to learn to mind our own business.

Foreign policy meddling is an invitation to controversy.

Agreed again. Sherrie clearly it's not the business of Canadian citizens to be commenting on what our governments do. Afterall they never make mistakes plus Steve Harper is almost perfect anyways.

Sherrie: I've just reread comment #4 and I think I may have totally misinterpreted it the first time around. If you also think so and want to remove my comment #5 I'll understand.
