I prefer to look at it another way. If you compare the Iraq situation with that of Darfur or Sudan, there is a major difference in that the Iraqi population had to change into a very deprived and very bizarre humanitarian situation because there was a failure in the international community to stop the illegal war on Iraq. There was an international intervention that has turned our lives upside down, and we see now as the time for Canada to play a leadership role in the international community to start to make a difference in this international intervention, to put Canada on the right track so that it will lead the international community to lead people in other places in the world to a better situation.
We think that what happened in Iraq--turning a population of 25 million into that of a big prison with four million refugees inside and outside the country--was the direct result of the lack of leadership in the international community. Who can fix that situation, other than a government like Canada?
