And it wasn't really a "war". It was an unjustified invasion of a
sovereign country by the U.S. and British forces. What a sham and a shame
it was at that.

NATO obliges member countries to come to the defense of other members. During the cold
war it provided for a European theatre if the US had to go head to head against the US,
preferable to fighting on their own turf. It has also been a very profitable deal for
the US, since a major function of the treaty involves arms sales.

Typical "we liberated Europe" BS. Europeans have a lot of experience with the US
sitting back to see which way the smoke if blowing before deciding to go in and help
out. Despite your claim that Canada has no army, it certainly fielded one in both WW I
and WW II. Canada was in Europe three years before the Americans in WW I, and was
victorious in a number of the major battles after European armies had met repeated
failures. Canadian troops were in Europe for WW II more than two years before the
Americans.

The recent invasion, technically speaking was merely an extention of
the first one.

Joke Chirac? Didn't you see him and Bush make up? Why are you hell-bent

People like you give us ALL a bad name.

LOL! Like we were in talks with Hitler until suddenly it got cold in
Russia and THEN we decided to help Britian. We were helping the French
and British just like many European nations helped us in Iraq - in
non-military ways.

The last one started in 1991 and hasn't ended till this day. Get your
facts straight before you post.
