Should Canada support US Military actions in Iraq

sorry to bring back an old topic... but Final day to gather info and my debate is looking weak.

Any BS facts you guys have for me to bring up... please post them. The only thing I have is that Sadam is such an evil person that Canada needs to help turn around the bad he has done. And that is very weak haha. Also I have a unified effort will help accomplish goals quicker than just the US.... and finally that Canada relies on trade relations with the US so much that, they should not do anything to hurt their trade relations.

Please Help!!! Im going to fail.

Yes they should
Why?

They basically reep all of the USA technilogical advances via the military and subcontracted military companies.

History shows that thru' war, conflicts, battles, skirmishes, whatever advances in military technology become very rapidly. To help whoops your enemys *** faster..

Romans are a good example, they had the money and military weapons to pound the balls out of everyone in the known world.

WW1 we had lawn mower BS tractor tanks and by WW2 they had the badass Tigers, Shermans, without those wars who knows if we would have tanks or if they would have come as far as they have.

Now Canada gets to buy our technology that we spent Billions on so we would have better gear to whoop everyone's *****.. They haven't earned it.

If we didnt sell our technology and weapons to Canada or anyone else in the world, we would sure have an unmatched and pretty much outside the top 7 nations no one else would have the money or tech. to even manufacture effective modern weapons.

I think if you buy our weapons you support the people and the causes of those whom you purchased the weapon from. Otherwise go build your own crap at your own expense!!!!

Just my .02

EDIT: This involves only MILITARY and Military contracted technology only!!! I am not talking about sharing Sony Playstation or Ipod tech. Military only..

Canada simply doesn't have the budget for the fancy technology that the US has to offer, Its a good bet that Iraq has purchased more miltary technology from the US in the past 20 years then Canada has.

Most of the military stuff Canada uses is british in origin actually.

As for selling though, Canada sells a large amount of resources to the US including grain, livestock, lumber, oil (from Alberta), coal, uranium, potash, hockey players, actors, comedians and singers, at one hell of a discount to boot.
