whoa... hold up there, where the hell did that come from?
communists and pussies? you don't know a thing about Canada to be making such comments
I wonder how Raine feels about the US vs. Iraq now....
A bit? 
I was just lowering myself to get a reaction. I retract said comment of 'most Canadians being communists and pussies'. You're mostly hockey players and hippies...

DUDE!!!! not cool 
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

I used to be on the fence, but I am now all for it. Most people against the war have extremely distorted views. I firmly believe we did everything possible to avoid war.
that's exactly how I feel.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I'm an American, and I think Candians are alright folk. Some do support the war, some don't; it's like that in about every nation. Plus, OLP's Canadian, so that's cool.

and funnier still, is the fact that all the american soldiers that dies were a result of "friendly fire". that is so hilarious to me. is anybody believing this hsit? i swear to god...
Hows that funny to you? I haven't heard of any friendly fire deaths for awhile now, but it does happen. But I think its extremely sad you find it funny. Also, why would you think thats a cover up? Wouldn't it be worse than an Iraqi killing them, as far as pride goes? And 50,000 seems too high for an iraqi death count.
its funny ot me because the us had full control over the osuthern half of teh ocuntry like, ten minutes aftre teh first attack. and people actually buy into that shit. i fidnit funny because they expect people to believe that iraqis didnt kill anybody. like...the hellicpter just fell...who knows how? soldiers died...friendly fire. its not funny that people died...i hope it didnt come across that way. its funny teh stuff they put out there and expect people to believe. and funnier still is the fact that people believe it.
and the poeple that are against war dont have distorted views at all. just because they are different. doesnt mean they are distorted.

That is BS. Last I checked Al Jazeera wasn't from the coalition.
ummm...which al-jazeera reporters do you see out ther with the troops?????
the point is, those poeple can report back whatever they want to...they're not going ot report things that are against the war or mak eit look bad in any way. the frecnch/germans/etc. didnt have that access and i saw the press conference with the guy thats in charge of press form the UK or wherever and he wa slike "well, when you support the war..." so yeah.

Why don't you try landing a helicopter in sand?

And that is true . . . but their views aren't distorted because they're different. I'm sure we all acknowledge that there are many people against the war who have reasonable views. They can be different without being distorted, but that is not always the case.
Here is an example of someone against the war with distorted views: you.
Here's something you said: "and funnier still, is the fact that all the american soldiers that dies were a result of "friendly fire"." That's not true. You're forgetting the executed American POW's. You just hear more about the friendly fire deaths in the news. It gets more attention, because it is tragic.
You also think the US military has an obligation to cater to everybody who wants to cover the war, which is absurd. Their job is not to babysit a bunch of reporters. Reporters have more freedom when they're independent anyway, you know.
