The Kyoto protocal is a waste of time though. I thought Canada was going to pull out of that as well? I was pretty sure one of the scientists who suggested they sign it later said if he knew what he knew now he would advise against it.
Most of the global warming stuff is just a scam. Not that global warming is a scam... but the solutions to fix it actually arn't solutions but ways for people to benefit out of fear.
The Global Carbon credit plan for example wouldn't of cut down on emissions so much as it would force developed countries to pay undeveloped countries for credits they arn't going to use in the first place.
Also, since we're getting poltical. I was against invading Iraq. When the news broke I actually said "Iraq? If anything we should invade Iran." because just about everyone knew they were the ones who were actually going to get weapons of mass destruction, and that those weapons would be the really bad kind that can irradicate the countryside. Also they already have a number of people who don't like how their goverment runs and protests despite all the trouble and possible death it can give you.
Still, now that your in Iraq you can't just leave. A Majority of Iraq's hate the idea we're in Iraq, but they hate one thing worse, the idea of us leaving.
It's our mess. We made it, and it'd be a little shady of us as a country if we just said "Whoops your problem now!" and just let them sort it out. That's how Afghanistan ended up how it is afterall... and we saw how well that worked out for the US.
As for the US manipulating other countries... oh yeah. The governments screwed a lot of countries, so have the buisnesses. Look how they pretty much destroyed Jamaca's economy by the United Fruit Company (Dole?) taking out their number 1 import, then some chicken companies destory their 2nd best import by selling really cheap dark meat because a lot of Americans only buy chicken breasts instead of full chickens. (Do your part buy thighs!)
But honestly, what governement doesn't? They pretty much all do if they're powerful enough because that's what governments are partially set up for. To do things to ensure that they stay "On top" on the world stage and nuetralize other threats. Through manipulation first, because nobody likes wars. I'm sure even Canada has done it's fair share of manipulation of other countries... it's just nobody cares as much. Of course if you don't believe that it's another reason for the "American Union" to take place. Canada could act as the US' "concsience".
