英国就是鸟小架子大，说起话来比米国还横。这是当今世界的一个有趣的现象，由他去吧。 -killer(kevin); 2001-9-23 (#208577@0)
想想也是，你看美国出点事，加拿大忙的什么是的。还没有讨点好。你在看看加拿大的经济，美国打个喷嚏，加拿大就发高烧。将来...... -guest-toronto(toronto); 2001-9-23 (#208599@0)

It only means that British government are very eagar to get involved in this "war".It depands where you want to stand. Being with a bully or being a nice person:). If you watch the news, you would find that Canada offer a lot of help during this disaster but quite decent when facing the blame from US government about border issues. I find it needs courage to not to follow the strongest. Canada is trying very hard to stand by her own and also have a good relationship with US. Personally, I think this is a great country.:) -odo(odo); 2001-9-23 {443} (#208613@0)

你说的很有道理. 但是如果一个decent country能更积极地去影响这个世界, 而不仅仅是独善其身, 岂不是对世界更有益处. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-23 (#208644@0)

其实到底怎样影响世界, 确实很难说. 比如说索马里, 如果国际不管, 种族间互相仇杀, 死亡几十万. 国际管, 过分了, 就是干预国家主权; 光派点医务人员, 赞助些钱, 又没多大用. 不管怎么弄, 那些国家的人注定要一辈子受苦. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-23 (#208694@0)

I guess so. But some financial help at least can help them to get more food and medicare.I guess I am imposing what I think on you now by persuading you that Canada is a nice country to join in :). It's very nice to talk with you though. -odo(odo); 2001-9-23 {149} (#208716@0)

同意你这一点: canada is a nice country. 我也很高兴能与你心平气和地交流观点, 在现在这也是一种奢求. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-23 (#208727@0)

英国这样就是强国的表现？那我宁愿不要呆在所谓强国。以前英语班的老师几年前从英国来，她说英国很穷，在加拿大好多了，只要你努力工作。 -ll2000(米米); 2001-9-24 (#209079@0)
敢打仗可不是强国的专利,塔立班不正和老美叫板呢? -goodbaby(小宝); 2001-9-24 (#209085@0)
又看了一篇统计，单就经济状况来说，加拿大还是不错的，与德英法意处于同一水准。 -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-24 {11499} (#209097@0)
