Presidential Debate

[Chaerophon]

Evil prospers when good men do nothing.

Why does "doing something" have to be exactly the same thing that America does? That's my point. If "doing nothing" is seeing things differently and taking a different approach than America, then, under this rhetoric, you are part of the problem. It is particularly important to keep in mind the general support of the war in Afghanistan when considering this point. Nobody said "don't intervene", but the difference of opinion over where to intervene is a matter of justifiable concern.

EDIT: as an addendum, as Nico points out, the statements made by the US ambassador to Canada, Celucci (sp?) I believe is his name, left little doubt in the minds of Canadians that our disagreement with the US over the war in Iraq was interpreted as being the wrong move or "against us" as regards the so-called "war on terror".
