GT. You're right, its all a big puppet show. You've uncovered a huge secret. Yet can't do anything about it? Can't get people of influence to listen to you? Think thats because 'they to are in on it'?

Your banter, and the banter of people like you is lost in the noise of people living their lives.

You want to talk about Iraq, and are trying to have me believe that becuase you have 'army buddies' that these grunts my have some insight into the inner workings of the pentagon or white house. It doesn't!

It's a well known fact that the US gov't knew about pearl harbour before it was going to happen. They used the attack to put the US into WW2, ultimiately ending the war on the side of freedom. Why aren't you angry about that? Maybe because it proved to be the right thing to do.

Where am I going with all of this. Great, much greater minds then yours are working daily on the worlds issues. Thankfully the world is still greatly influenced by a Christian nation who believes in a free society. That would be the USA.

So when you go on your rants about how we're all being fooled to believe the war in Iraq is not about freedom or any of the things the media has told us. Take a look at half the clothing you own, see the lable CHINA on it and think about the people working for 18c/day and remember, if they rise up and speak of religion or democracy. They're shot.

These just some of the things you enjoy as an American. The right to live free, practice your own religion, purhcase items from young childern made in china and listen to music playing off your Ipod you drive down the highway in the search for $2.50 gal gas.

Believe it or not, your freedoms come at a price. A price that other men, much smarter and more powerful then you understand and work daily to protect. Don't be so ungreatful.

As for Isearl. They are the pearl of the middle east. They only truly democracy that is in place. The US backs them because they helped create teh country after ww2. They have a responsibility to support this country and they do so. Christians believe as well that this land is where the second coming will take place. So this country is important for Jews and Christians.

The media you nicely hate, seems to have you into believe Isreal is a thorn in America's side. When really its a thorn in the side of countries in the middle east who would like to see them all dead. Look through history, and the conflicts that have come from Isreal. Educate yourself.

I think you've become the victom of the internet news phonomino. Its a growing issue where people only surrond themselves with the facts that support their views and use news filtering and the control the internet has to remove unwanted news bites to build on their view of the world.

Now after reading all of this you should do one of 3 things.
1. Wonder why a Canadian is writing such things, when our coutnry didn't enter Iraq?
2. Reflect on the issues before responding with the same type of content as above.
3. Ask yourself. How do I possitively contribute to America?

My background:
- Every male in my family of age fought in ww2. My grand father enlisted at 15.
- I work 6 days a week to support my soon to be family
- I intend to move to this US in May 07
- Currently own a slice of the American dream, aprox 1800sqt/feet + a car
- Enjoy frequent visits to the US
- Future business, and the source of my current income is backed by US buyers.
- Upon becoming an American resident I intend to enroll in the reservers. As i believe there is no great duty one man can do for his country but defend it.

Maybe that will help you.
