Actually, Lester B. Pearson (ex-Prime Minister of Canada) won the Nobel Peace Prize for coming up with the idea of UN Peace Keepers. Check out other info for real facts pal- http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/canada_un/cdn_un-en.asp

Last time I checked, Canada also lost a lot of lives trying to make the world a better place (like WWI, WWII, Korea, and Afghanistan). I think that Canada may have even lost more as a percentage of population than the US in the first three. Also WWII as an example, we actually joined free spirited without being attacked first.

I do not like to talk negative about the US and rarely do as I respect their contribution to global issues and idealistic goals. (Hell, given their position if it was USSR, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan.. shall I go on.. most other countries would have taken over Canada for land and natural resources). I would like to live in America and I respect most Americans. It is an extreme countries with just as many limos (say in NY as homeless people). Just as many Nobel prize winners as total morons. However, the one major criticism that precedes Americans is their naivety and belief that their world/culture is the best and that all of the world wishes it was like theirs- I think this is propogated by those same morons. However, it is all of the blanket statements without having the facts that continue to contribute the demonstration on the latter half of the extreme- ie moron factor. I wish it wasn't so and I was only talking to the point that highlighted it.. ie. only responsible!
