If you'll read a little more closely, 3rd Eye, he didn't call every Canadian stupid. His opinion seemed to be considerably more focused on just one of you.

3rd Eye's claims don't diminish my affection or respect for Canadians in general. They're largely a peace-loving, tolerant group of people. He's not yet old enough to know how someone the age of your parents feels about the idea of sending youngsters with their lives in front of them to a war that had no justification in the first place. Here I'm speaking of Iraq. If we go to war with Iran or North Korea sometime in the future, those'll be more justified actions, but no one with any sense wants to see young people pulled away from their lives and sent into a place where they could be killed or wounded.

I admire people like you, Peach Optimo, who would go proudly and fight for your country and family. If I were under the age limit, I'd likely do the same thing. I'd be frightened to death, but I'd do it. I'm far more protective of my 20-year-old son and his future than I am about my own. At 44, I've at least had opportunities to live my life, but he has only barely begun his.
