Keep it, I don't want it.
Personally, i actually understand this concept. Canada did not back up the US in its desire to conquor iraq, so we should not be bellying up to the trough now to pick up contracts to "rebuild" iraq. Totally hypocritical if we do.
I think the americans have marked 18 billion towards rebuilding iraq and we have offered a paultry 300 million. Since our population is 1/10 of the US's, we should be offering up 1.8 billion to be fair. We are not.
To the victors go the spoils, that's the way it goes.
Mind you, i think we should reconsider even that paultry 300 million. Or at least ensure that it went to say medical aid for the Iraqis or something noble like that rather than halliburton's fat grease ball hands.
