How quickly we forget...

WHO wrote constantly to the WSJ during the 90's apologizing for Canada to the US for following allowing with their deregulation of the banking system.

WHO wrote to the NYT apologizing for Canada's refusal to join the 'coalition of the willing' in the US' invasion of Iraq in 2003.

WHO didnt have a Canadian PASSPORT before he became PM since all he needed to visit in his 50 years of life is the US and Canada.

HARPER....

Your second paragraph is FULL of bogus historical misunderstandings.

First, your use a mission where canada did not participate (only lead by a Canadian, who now is a LPC Senator).
Second, Rwanda (if you crack a brook one time) you will learn that it was a complete disaster because of several domestic and international factors (ie: taking of Milles-Collines, Gulf War etc...).

Third, to compare the appeasement done by Chamberlain and a completely exhausted post-WWI british army is complete historical inaccuracy and idiocy. The idea of peacekeeping was born out of the Suez crisis. Now you tell me what went wrong there and what could have happened and then we can debate on the same level of intellectuality. I wont even start with your horrible analogy of the visigoths and romans.

Every soldier that has ever kept the peace for our country would spit in your face Dieter. Peacekeeping is a tool created by modern states in order to conserve and make the modern state prosper. Of course it will have problems, and ameliorities to bring forward (exactly what Iggy points out) but to stamp out the idea because of historical or military ignorance.

Reading is your friend Dieter

O'course that wasnt a simple answer.
But i am glad all you want to do is understand Iggy. I took think he could communicate his platform in a wider form, but thatll probably come out in the fall/late summer.

Read this speech Ignatieff speech 'Liberal Values in Tough Times' at Isaiah Berlin Lecture <a href="http://bit.ly/Ktjdu" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/Ktjdu

Why?

Canada as a nation asserts itself in global and domestic cooperation.

Pretty simple eh?

Now go suck on your thumb and fall asleep :)
Everything will be okay.
