Brittany continues the trend... I suppose I will continue with the trend of elections. As I was saying earlier (and as has been mentioned since), this new government cannot be considered democratic. It is more concerned with a pro-American government rather than a true democracy for and by the people. I was in total support of war in Iraq, but there comes a point where one becomes entirely too involved. If we really mean what we say, why not let the Iraqi people set up their own government and then get our troops out instead of hanging around to make sure the scales are tipped in our favor? I'm not saying that I think we should pull up stakes. We should certainly finish what has been started, but...I dunno...there's too much American influence and that's what the terrorists hate. Perhaps it is a poor attitude, but at times I rather favor the idea of isolationism (heh - I know…it didn’t work). But it sounds nice…involvement without commitment, no permanent, entangling alliances – hehe. Seriously, though…no one ever bothers Canada… ;-)  ¶ 12:05 AM
