It was never about liberating Iraq. That was a consequence, but not the primary goal per se (although I believe it may have been for UK PM Blair) - commonly felt in a large part of the non-Muslim world like Europe. And I disagree, you more likely to see more US-anti Muslims. But at the very least, the ones now are more dedicated and driven in their hatred of the Western world, and their committent to defend the Muslim world. I in no way support terrorism. No ifs, ands, or buts. 911 was a tragedy that should not have happened. Like most other nations, Canada put our full support behind the US and the war on terrorism. Got my vote too (in spades), although with some provisals in terms of how the war is fought. But to avoid another one is not by conquering Muslim nations. Not this way. Most nations (if at least just the people if not the government - Muslim and non-Muslim) and religions are united in their resolve that this war was wrong and illegal. Immoral, unethical, and poorly thought out. A quick win often glorifies and vindicates the battle. But necessarily the war. The war is fought on another level, whose consequences can often be unpredictable, farreaching, and longstanding. And to reiterate from another posting, I'm not resentful of Americans per se. I take people on a person-to-person basis. Just the US political-military machine, and the US Bush administration I abhor (and fear).

Anyways, live long and prosper to all. You can all now have the final and last words. I'm done. Typing all of these with two fingers has drained me.
