US: Support for Britain, Canada and Israel    Yitzhak Benhorin
1. CANADA !?!?!?

2. The Allies
Sounds like a great allied coalition to me. Lets bring in the Aussies and the Japanese as well. Looks like lebanon is down on the list. Canada and the US have some issues regarding, softwood, and northern sovereignty, or I would of assumed it to be highest, as well as our previous liberal government didn't do much to protect Canadians or relations between the two. North America should be the most impregnable continent in the world. And will be so soon.

4. Allies
There's been a nasty strain of anti-Americanism in Canada under the previous administration, but it looks like things are improving with the election of the new Prime Minister. And I would add that , as an American, I'll take Australia as an ally over Britain any day because Tony Blair tried to wrangle a quid pro quo for his support in the Iraq war and it was the idiotic road map to hell. Australia, on the other hand, asked nothing in return for its support. Aussies rock!

5. I Support Israel and Britain 100%
Even though the latter needs to start taking serious the indigenous growth of Islamic fanantics on its soil. Canada, not sure why the hell we support a bunch of people who not only envy us but openly espouse our suffering and that of Israel.

9. toni blair is a disgrace for UK citizens
the guy only represent himself and his master George Bush, they both are creating a world full of horror and terror just to keep their citizens scared and in need for protection. That's how the freedom of speach and act is history, and people didn't do anything about their lost civil rights. The ones who create terror and terrorists are USA and UK and their little one Israel.

You do, or do you think you can win this war alone. You watch too much south park loser. We supply you with 70% of your oil, your lumber, minerals, and electricity. We have the power to turn your lights out, and cut your fuel off. Dont' be so naive. And please spare me the talkback about how you guys would kick our ass, you can't control Iraq, look at a map, we are 30 times that size.

11. #4 NYC Girl
Thank you for some positive feedback, I was starting to question why I support backing the US, reading other peoples postings regarding Canada. Aside from domestic issues Can and the US have a great relationship. Stereotypes are used often by misinformed people, ie #1 You are correct about the previous government, they cater to our immigrants for votes, and were just horrible for us. Things are getting better now, We fought with the US in WW2, and Korea, as well as other wars. We will fight together again. We need the UK, not only for there support but so they can bring the EU around to our side in the end, and the Aussies are becoming a very competent military, that is a great allie. Cheers to you!!!

12. #5 -- Wow, your just off the wall dumb
Canada has spoiled every terrorist attack in it's nation. Unlike the conspiracy of the US allowing 9/11 to happen to garner support for war. We definately don't envy you, not even close, our economy is stronger, our people aren't fat like yours, we speak correctly without a drawl, we are respected worldwide, why is it you sew a canada flag on yoru backpack when you travel, why has immigration to Canada from the US increase by over 300% in the last 5 years. Our PM, openly backed Israel, where have you been man, I thought berkely was a hippie school in the 60's, you must still be stoned man. We give you 70% of your oil, supply you with 45% of your electricity for the East Coast, we give you lumber, and minerals, you would be living in the dark without us, peddling your bike to work. Please spare me the military talk as well, you would never beat us, you can't nuke us, water flows down, or do you forget your american civil war lessons. You can invade sure, but we are a lot bigging than you, and every hunter has a rifle, we just don't flaunt our guns like you, you are having trouble with security in iraq, how would you ever have security here, it would be a deathtrap, another 1812, maybe we'd burn the whitehouse down again. Or is that lesson not taught in american history. You need to educate yourself, pay attention in class, do some independent reading instead of watchin cnn, and rightwing news broadcasts that point there terrorist problem at us.

13. #5 -- Katrina
After Katrina in New Orleans, we had supply ships in your waters before you did. We had a team (the same one that was sent to pakistan for water, medical) turned away at the airport by your homeland security, they were going to help. We donated just as much as your government did, We built towns for you, our government did more than your government did, our firefighters police, were there, in high numbers, same with after 9/11, so where do you get off saying we espouse your suffering. Smarten up.

14. More Hate For Muslims
The American goyim hate Muslims more than they hate Jews and that's okay. But, if this ever changes - Oy!

15. WE support the USA.They are the only
power,that will keep this world safe from these lunatic countries eg.Iran, Syria.The Americans know that all these,Islamic terrorist groups are a danger to the world.It is a pity that the rest of the western world,dont get behind the USA and help fight this evil.Countries like Spain,Denmark, Italy,Sweden,Holland,France and a few more.Are petrified to say or do anything ,and thats a shame.GOD BLESS THE USA.Iam proud to have many American friends,they are good people..

16. us support
US support for Israel!!!! Exactly what do you mean by support? If we excluded the laser guided missiles, billions of dollars that are given every year , and more than 250 nuclear heads !!! which are ok ,but when usa hinders the cease fire for a losing war against hezballah? When for the sake of two soldiers more than 200 die trying to enter Lebanese soil!! They could even advance an inch or lets say stay!!! And still there could be a second round lets us question this help

18. Good Friends and Allies
Let's say we pitch in on a rocket to launch the Hezbos, the Irantian Mullahs, the pencil neck dictator of Syrian, and such to a planet far, far away. We'll even throw in a keg of uranium for AhMad and the boyz to get jucied up over. As for Canada, the "second" home for hockey, basketball, and baseball, we do have our bickering, but the Canucks are outstanding--well, at least those in their right-mind. We also suggest the folks in Calgary do something about those Frenchies in the eastern providences. We greatly admire the Zionist entitiy, better known as the great country of Israel. We weep when you weep, we take pride in your victories, and bless you all the time. Tony Blair is awesome, except on those social issues. Seems we have a woman attorney trying to pretend she gonna be president too. Tony has Iraq, Afganistan, and the war on terror right. Come on Brits, show some backbone.

19. 70% of the oil. Hhhhhh is all I can say...
US gets it oil basicly from Alaska and most importantly Saudi Arabia that the Americans bought with cool AirPlanes and other millitary stuff that they sell to them from half the price. Iraq ? Iraq is full with people who are willing to die for what they believe (whether it's right or wrong...) Canada is full of french and other people who won't die for anything, they'ed preffer to surrunder... Size ? do you really think that size is what matters ? Israel kicked the ass of 6 different countries alone. The Israeli Air Force kicked the Egypet, Syrian, Jordanian and Saudi Arabian Air Forces Ass when 200 Israeli air planes shot down more than 2000 Air Planes with no Israeli air plane shot down. So size ? Size means nothing this days. It's all about the spirit. BTW, Viva the US :) Those the democrats and the people in the cabinet sucks...

20. #16
Uhm. laser guided missiles? needed for bunkers and such. billion of dollars? so what? jordan and egypt get billions of dollars too. losing a war against hizballah? we won in every aspect possible, you have more deathes, you have more destruction, we have managed to get in your land saying since the beginning we're not gonna conquer just clean it up, we did exactly that. The only thing you might've got is our 2 soldiers although they may be in iran right now. That's the only acheivement the hizballah have, about 1000 of your people are dead because hizballah kidnapped 2. If that's winning, let me be the loser all the time. :)

Fadi, when G-d was passing out brains, you were obviously nowhere to be found. Perhaps you were too busy kissing Nasrallah's butt.

22. JJ
The disgrace is that uninformed morons such as yourself, with your head in the sand up to your patootie, have no grasp whatsoever of the world in which we are living. Why don't you take a stroll to Finsbury Park and get yourself a dose of reality? Or, perhaps, you are a denizen of Finsbury Park. Could that be it, JJ?

23. why support canada
some of you yanks are out to lunch. where do you think you get most of your oil and gas thats imported? who do you think your largest trading partner is? canada has lots of troups in afganistan right now...so give it up with your ignorance!!

24. Ryan, Time For Your Meds
Wow, I pray you're not as crazy as your post. 70% of our oil?!!! Dude, you're obviously the one who needs to pick up a book or newspaper. Economy, um, yea, I have no comment on that one because you're on a whole new level of stupid if you think Canada's economy is stronger than the United States. Finally, I didn't allude to any military conflict but sure keep playing Playstation. That's the only medium in which Canada would last two minutes against the U.S. military.

25. To Fadi the 'Special' Lebanese person
First of all Israel has has to reoccupy southern Lebanon since July due to Hezballah's unprovoked attack on us. Until then we didn't occupy any land. The West Bank is administered land. We have the right to choose it's status and future as it was not a recognised part of any other country when we toook it in a defensive war wth Jordan and the only legally binding focument that applies to it you moron is the Legue of nations mandate doc that calls for Jewish settlement in it. Secondly the 'Sheba Farms' is an excuse for Hezballah. That piece of land has never been under the sovereignty of the Lebanese republic EVER. We took it from Syria in a defensive war after they shelled us for 18yrs from it. Can your tiny little brain not comprehend the simple idea that when you bomb someone you invite a response and that the bombing itself is an act of war. Additionally all Israel has ever wanted with Lebanon is a peace treaty. I thought that the Lebanese were generally intelligent and educated but I've noticed a distinct lack of education/intelligence in many recent Lebanese comments with the exception of Callum from the Maronite capital there. Why can't the other Lebanese posting here displaying their diseased brains comprehend that HEZBALLAH ISN'T PROTECTING YOU F R O M ISRAEL. ISRAEL WOULDN'T ATTACK LEBANON IF IT WERE NOT ALLOWING HEZBALLAH TO ATTACK US. THAT'S CALLED DEMOCRACY; the reason for the 2000 pullout wasn't cause of Hezballah 'protection' but because a civillized country such as Israel has a population that demanded not to occupy the land of another country even under fire. That was a mistake as we discovered. Before you start vomiting crap about war crimes to us here take some responsibility for the attacks that emanated from your territory unprovoked. How was that 'defence'? The entire Golan is a Syrian-Israeli dispute. After the heinus civil war in your country for 15years doesn't your country and your people have more pressing things to worry about than what Iran/Syria/Hezballah want. The armed wing of Hezballah is a terrorist organization. I can accept that the political wing if it if disarmed could be a normal entity. I accept that it has filled the gap created in Leb society vis a vis the Shiites due to poor socioeconomic management but as long as it remains armed it's election and all it's services are tainted with blood and it is a totalitarian party. In a democracy having an armed party is both proposterous and anti-democratic. It is intolerable that they are staying armed in contradiciton to even the Syrian/Saudi impossed Taif accords, UN res 1559 and 1701. To those who want peace I would wish it to you.

26. # 10 ryan israel
you haven't a clue if you think 70% of oil comes from alaska and saudi. i work in the industry. btw the future of your oil supply is the tar sands in alberta, why do you think us companies are scrambling to get joint ventures there. there's more oil in the tar sands then saudi. Maybe you should learn about a country before making stupid comments" canada is full of french" what an idiot.
ian ,   toronto canada   (08.30.06)
27. #19 -- The first Israeli dumbass
You are the first i've encountered on this site. Your so wrong about your oil, most of it comes from Canada, then Alaska and Venezuela. Saudi Arabia invests money for gulf drilling in the states, that are mostly dry anyways. Where do you get your info. Alaskan pipeline travels through Canada, look at a map. The americans are so out to make a dollar they don't sell anything at half price. Canada surrended once in it's history, ww2 battle of hong kong, where about 50 soldiers held on for weeks against thousands of japs. Learn your history. We were in Europe way before the states, saving your forefathers from nazi rule. We took the hard routes to Berlin, not the cozy cushy paths. We also backed the establishment of the state of Israel, but you don't need to call me dad. I'd be embarrassed if my son displayed your intelligence. And of course size matters, there is always resistance, and the army always has to hold and secure, do you know how big Canada is? It would take your tanks weeks to cross Canada, just look at a map, and look at the terrain, and never ever ever underestimate the courage of a Canadian soldier, also to say we are full of french displays your insight to reality, and I suppose Israel is full of arabs too, we don't surrender this is not france, we liberated france, this is Canada. Israel fought primitive armies with US technology, they won't have that success against all those countries now. Smarten up, and quit pissing off your allies. You don't have many to begin with.

28. To #19
You are so ignorant it isn't even funny... 'it's all about the spirit'??? yeah...the spirit that has resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqi civilians and over 2000 of your own troops AND accomplished absolutely NOTHING other than create more terrorism and more hatred. As for Israel 'winning' this war, how exactly did they win? Hezbollah still has military capabilities, the IDF didn't get their soldiers back, and support for Hezbollah is through the roof...this was a military failure and a political disaster. It's about time everyone starts realizing that they aren't accomplishing anything this way and start looking for some real solutions.

29. #9 You are either on drugs or need them
Seriously. Either way, you need help. Or an education. Probably both.
(08.30.06)
30. #17 - Thanks
Thanks, but not all Canadians would support that, I'm not right or left, I am both depending on the issue, so I would have to be independent. Quebec wouldn't get all the money it does, immigration would slow to a crawl, alberta would raise royalties and give more to the equalization, we would stop all exports until the US gave us our softwood money, I would end free trade if they didn't, they need us more than we need them. Arctic Sovereignty is huge for me. Natives will assimilate or leave. Capital punishment would be back, and the justice system would be completely overturned, and our exports would go to China if the states don't play fair. Military spending up, if you still want to vote, that would be great. Can't be any worse than Martin
