Israel, Palestine, Canada, Iraq.

   Since there has been so many political and news conversations on the forum lately, I thought why not have a friendly discussion.

So here we go,

   For some there is a buzz up here that because Canada didn’t participate in Iraq that somehow Canada has capital that could be spent on the Israeli & Palestine problems.

    Some say we should spend that capital to assist in achieving some sort of resolution in the Middle East;

Others in Canada question the sanity of getting involved in the Middle East at all.

So what do you think, because Canada is not in Iraq, does Canada have any Capital to spend in the Middle East to help tip Israel / Palestine towards a workable resolution, particularly now that Arafat is gone?

(I want to reserve my thoughts for the moment so I don't influence conversation)

no its not, what if korea comes and attacks the states and says "were are trying to fix the states corrupt problems, murders, rapes, child pornagraphy, kid napping, we needed to help them"

see thats not anothere countries job to fix, its yours.

^^^ OK, now lets stay away from military intervention. That's not what I was getting at guys...

even though im against most wars, I can still acknowledge americans that die trying to help the world, its really not fair when the media bashes the soldiers when they should be getting mad at the goverment.

Well, I am going to leave this thread for a bit for more replies.

After that I (humbly) think I might have some insight to your question.

Eventually I need to run this thru rigorous debate to get the nicks worked out. "sort of speak".

Later;

I may have worded this incorrectly. I should not have used the word Capital. I'll reword it.

How do you perceive Canada, as in since we are not in Iraq, does that somehow give us influence to spend in the Middle East, particularly Palestine?

That wouldn't be reason enough to invade another country.

 However, if it were instead a government that was oppressive and murdered millions of it's own citizens, then that would be a just reason to go to war, to help that countries citizens.

If our gov't were like that, I would want someone invading our country to protect us from it.
