Summary about why Canada has no huge army:

Alejo: about our economy being dependent on your's, you are right. Except, your's depends on our's as well. They are dependent, but still separate, as was evident when your economy went ****ty, and ours was on the rise.

Just because we work together on a lot of things doesnt mean we should just 'shut up and go with it'.

and finally, to your comment on how you dont need permission from anyone to do anything, that sums up why the US is probably the most hated country in the world. The United Nations were formed to protect the common good of the world, and to keep the peace. The idea is that they will stop any of the bull**** in Iraq from happening. If you think that the US shouldn't have to give a damn what that body thinks, then you are no better than your president.
