The Kebilsphere

In the past, democratic and free peoples have always rallied to support any country that is invaded by a foreign power with no provocation. We support countries that are invaded by foreign powers, especially when the foreign power acts with impunity, commits atrocities, has an active torture program. When a foreign power does this for the sole purpose of stealing a countries resources and installing their own puppet government.
Why is it, then, that we, as a country, have supported the American governments war on the Iraqi people. We now all know that there were no weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), let alone the claim that Iraq posed a threat to the United States. Everybody should by now appreciate that this war was merely a grab for Iraqi oil, and a way to bolster the American economy that was on the verge of a major recession (or maybe even a depression) in 2001, a recession that has now resurfaced and threatens to sink the global economy now. The American government effectively privatized large portions of the war effort, affording countless contracts to the American War Machine, shoveling hundreds of billions of dollars into the coffers of Bush’s cronies and buds.
If this had been done to Canada, I would be actively fighting back. I would be a Canadian insurgent, and so would many of you. Almost all Canadians would be sympathetic, if not supportive of the Canadian insurgency (except maybe for the Conservative party, who act more like USA Lite than as patriotic Canadians).
Maybe we should be siding with the Iraqi insurgents, helping fight the illegal occupation of Iraq.
