War is something no one really wins with. There are always a lot of innocent deaths that happen on both sides of the war. Currently that is exactly what is going to happen when President Bush goes to war against Iraq. It is unfortunate that President Bush has decided to not listen to the public opinion that deals with this war. Most people do not want to go to war against Iraq, and that is mostly the people in the United States. Then of course, President Bush doesn't have Canada coming for this war because they don't want to be involved in it. Some people may consider Canada a bunch of cowards for not supporting President Bush with the assault against Iraq, however they are actually being smart about the situation.
Canada has always been seen as a peaceful group of people. People in Canada has proudly put their crest/flag on pieces of clothing without feeling ashamed, unlike other places that will stay nameless. If the war that President Bush is pushing onto Iraq goes bad, Canada will be forced to fight them. Whether the attack from President Bush causes a world war due to his greed, or if Iraq fires Chemical Missiles at the United States; Canada will be drawn into the war against Iraq.
It is good though that Canada is staying the Gulf because at least if the United States get into a lot of trouble, Canada would be able to "bail" them out of trouble. It would be a little funny for Canada to be able to say that they "bailed" the United States out when Canada is not a "war ready" area. Canada in the Gulf just proves that they are thinking like all other people are thinking, which is that President Bush is doing something that has a high chance to "back-fire".
President Bush is using greed and stupidity rolled into one for the attack on Iraq. The proof behind this is the fact that Canada is not really supporting the United States in this attack, but they are near incase they are forced into the fight. President Bush is attacking Iraq because of 2 main reasons. The first is that he can't finish off the "War Against Terrorism" because he cannot find the one that started it all, so Iraq is next in line. The second is that he wants control of those Oil Fields. So in light of these things, President Bush is being a bully towards Iraq because of his own greed.
I know that hell is about to break lose due to the war against Iraq that President Bush is going to be doing, and I can honestly say that President Bush better do it right the first time through. If the United States doesn't finish off Saddam Hussein this time, hell will come forth. I agree that Saddam Hussein should have died the first time with the "Gulf War" however the way that President Bush is going about it, I disagree with. President Bush may have the support of the Germans & the French, however that doesn't mean anything if your neighbor (Canada) refuses to support you. President Bush did try to have Canada join the battle however Canada refused, which does show some smarts in the Canadian politicians.
It is expected that this fight with Iraq (Saddam Hussein) will take a lot longer than people really realize. This war has a chance to take a couple of years, at least, if the United States cannot get the attack without retaliation. It there is retaliation, and then it will pull every country into the war to cause it to become a World War. Hopefully it doesn't become a World War because there is a high possibility that it would be a Nuclear War, and that would just mean that all life will be terminated after a bit of time after the first shot.
