Iran being already named by President Bush as part of the 'axis of evil' and Syria suspected of supporting the insurgency, along with their general defiance of the United States (Just friday I think they refused to join in on discussions about iraqs future or something like that) Does anyone think war with these countries is a possibility?
If it is proven Iran is using its 'nuclear programme' for weapons instead of energy,
If it is proven (although I think probobly impossible and will always be heresay) that Syria is supporting/organizing/funding the Iraqi insurgency
plus the fact that before the war they seemed to like vocally denouncing the US, and now after the war has become a burden and the US military stretched a little thin, they must feel free to say as they wish.
I havnt done alot of research on the topic, but it seems almost every day somewhere in the news theres something about syria or iran connected to iraq or they are calling out the US calling them 'responsible for the spread of global terrorism' --- Iran's national security chief, Hassan Rohani.
If the situation were to arise that armed conflict became inevitable, What do you think the chances that Canada would participate? Any other allied nations?
I think it would be important that we contribute in some way,as it would be the second time we would leave our best ally out to dry .. (before anyone critcizes me for being a hypocrite, Id like to state that it is the Bush administration I strongly disapprove of, not the United States.)
Regardless of how safe we think we are here in Canada, terrorists will identify us as easily as Americans, to them there is little difference between us.Our societys are much the same, our culture much the same and we actively participated in Afghanistan and remain committed for a while yet, and with our PM publicly making best friends with Bush all over the news lately, and with russian President Vladmir Putin (where he also vowed canada would fight terrorism more actively, over the subject of the school massacre) Im somewhat surprised we havnt been attacked already =/
What any of that has to do with Syria and Iran is that our allies are actively involved in this part of the world, and it is in our best interests to help out our friends when we can.... after all, the US pays the bills =p
So, alot of rambling later, what do you think could happen between these counties? because I cant see them just quietly deciding to mind their own business and stop rocking the boat anytime soon so to speak.
