This is a shameful day for Canadians. The grandchildren of the men who died defeating fascism and Nazism are complacently chugging their Molson's and thumbing their noses at the people brave and determined enough to pick up the torch. Determined to stick by whatever Liberals have where other people have principles, Chretien will not even at this late date endorse the US-led action in Iraq.
The sight of crowds of Iraqis kissing the hands of Marines and waving posters of Bush in the air is at once moving and pathetic. Were it not for George Bush and the steel in the spines of his closest supporters, these people would still be living in a state run by terror and state-salaried thugs. I wish I could force every pacifist I know to look a liberated Iraqi in the eyes and explain why they were opposed to the war.
