So get this:
Stop throwing it in our faces that you're "protecting us". You're not protecting us from shit.
The rest of the world has our back... if only Harper would stop pissing off the middle east.

And who has the rest of the free worlds back? Hell you are worried about Harper 'pissing off' the middle east, you are asking to stay in your shell, protected by everyone else. I mean heaven forbid you say something that might be offensive to someone.
WWI the US was out of the European loop, end result it cost us 110k dead in service.
We tried to maintain this until WWII, end result, it cost us 400k dead in service.
You know we learned a lesson there, we dont' save any lives by staying out of peoples back yards when they are getting ready to cause trouble. It would be nice from some help from the North instead of kind words for once, but don't get pissy that no one listens to you internationally.
One of the nice side effects of socialism (for the US) is it makes nations too poor for war. As more and more programs and less and less productivity sap a nations wealth there is no money for war. Currently there would be no chance of another WWII in Europe unless one of the major nations had something akin to a full revolution. Too many people expect their hand outs and they vote. Unfortunetly the threats are not just from Europe or the USSR anymore, but from the Mid East and next China, and when it comes I hope we, as in Europe, the US AND Canada are ready for it. If Europe and Canada were strong NOW then such a major conflict wouldn't happen at all, but I think they are all too busy being resentful of the US to figure out where their real enemies are.
Well lets hope I'm wrong, after all everyones got Canada's back eh Ace?
