I never get political, but just an aside to all the Americans here - not all of us Canadians agree with our government's position on the war. Regardless of our feelings on the reasons why you are there, you have always been our friends - and you don't bail on friends. Sorry.

And if your "friend' were to hold up a bank because they felt the bank ripped them off would you back them up with that as well?
People have different morals, friends or not.
There is a limit to one's 'backing' up a friend. If there is a difference in opinion, a real 'friend' would have to respect that choice. Respecting that choice is the pinnacle of democracy. The alternative is not accepting one's choice and enforcing opinion onto others.

Do we really need to go down this road?
Look, lively discussion is one thing, but a "post your hometown" thread in a speaker manufacturer's online forum is hardly the place to debate the morality of war in Iraq. As proud as Canadians are of their righteous opposition to the invasion of Iraq, there is a sizeable portion of the American public also very much opposed to war...in fact, that segment of the American public outnumbers the entire population of Canada. Conversely, spend some time in a military city, and you will discover just how much support there is for the war among Canadians, notwithstanding the claims of business leaders and Steven Harper (which could be fairly interpreted as political grandstanding).
I am willing to wager that a person's opinion on the war will in no way reflect whether they prefer the accuracy of the M22 or the easy-going sound of the M3. For the sake of what a discussion on morality and war can degenerate into, let's please just drop the subject before it turns into insults.
