| In my personal opinion Canada has not been the same since 1990 or so, where I believe we're increasingly becoming a cheap knockoff of the U.S., one which is starting to exhibit many of the downsides of the U.S. but without most of the perks. If that's the case we don't have long before the situation... |

| Didn't the soviet union try to do the same thing with Cuba? Doesn't seem to cause peace and end to war, just raise tensions when you start to move nukes nere a country that you aren't exactly friendly with. I think the Soviet Union fell by itself, I mean they were in stagnation for a while and fina... |

| The only subject of his I can't totally discredit Moore-on is the demonization and scapegoating of certain minorities in the media and elsewhere, but even then I think he is just shrewdly using that line to push his agenda than acting out of any real concern. |

| NATO didn't do crap, the military power of European NATO nations other than maybe the U.K. and West Germany was laughable. The cruise missle issue was significant because it has since come to light that the Soviets did not distinguish between conventional and nuclear warfare and would have spearhead... |

| What's the big deal? A lot of countries use contracted military personel. The Russians for one make extensive use of so called "Kontrakti" troops in Chechnya, and I don't hear them being critisized for it. |

| Considering our tax burden the services we recieve are just piss poor, I say this in comparison to Western European countries with similar {often lower} tax burdens. Paying a Swedish level of tax for an American level of public services is not a good deal in my mind. As far as our vaunted social pro... |
