I still like to get beyond venting to talking about how we get from here to there rather than shouting make love not war over and over again as though it will have any impact at all on the well-being of people in war-torn regions.
90% of Canadians want us to stay involved. Even if we assume the other 10% are all NDP supporters it shows that even the majority on the leftish side in Canada support our involvement. I'm pretty sure that babble doesn't want to define progressiveness as including only 10% of Canadians. That would be a very narrow definition. If you can only interact respectfully with 10% of Canadians you lose and the right wins.
Please cite the poll with its actual questions and methodology that shows 90% of Canadians support your views.
You are right Pondering shouting Make Love not War is not going to change a thing in the Middle East. Military intervention on the other hand has and will continue to change the area. Since a picture is worth a thousand words here are some to show you what I am against. Since we are throwing around Vietnam War era slogans I must say I still think that fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.
According to your logic people should have supported the American involvement in Vietnam because the majority of Americans supported it. If you don't see the absurdity of that argument maybe the pictures will help.
