Inconsistency is the motto by which my blog lives. Or at the very least the frequency by which I post. Be that as it may, this one might be short anyways. I've been pretty tired recently and I haven't read too much news to spark my ire.... Until today.
HOLY F**K! I am so sick of everyone thinking Canada's military is a peacekeeping army. Bollocks! There is no such thing, unless your only criteria is bad policy making, and blue helmets. Peacekeeping is a waste of time, when the bullets are flying, as evident by the early stages of the Balkan wars, and Rawanda. The public at large has seemed to forget that war is as inevitable as the sunrise. Why would I say that? What could possibly make me think that this is the case. I'll tell you why: Because we're humans, and conflict is ingrained in our very beings. Did you ever notice when you've got it really good, you still find something to complain about. As a whole, when things are too quite on Earth, the collective subconscious kicks in and says 'Hey! Let's do something stupid to shake things up a mite'. Thus war is born.
This high and mighty ideal of Peace Keepers policing the world has become passe, and out moded. Peace keeping only works once the major conflict stops, and let me tell you, all the wars that are ongoing right now, aren't even close to being finished. Sending in Peace Keepers to start policing things would be stupid, especially since the only thing backing them are politicians who have likely never stepped foot inside a war zone, or have seen conflict first hand. Worthless.
Like all things in life we must EARN our lives, our rights and freedoms. Most times this is done at the point of the sword, whether by civil disobedience, or by way of armed conflict in a foreign land. Understand that I do not agree that war is the only answer. War is terrible, but until we find a way to purge the madness from our souls, it will continue. It will continue to pull us to the brink, and no amount of peacekeeping is going to solve our problems, it will only serve as a vehicle for poor policy, and slow decision making. The latter might get a lad killed on the battlefield, and I have no time for waiting on policy when the lead is in the air. Peacekeeping should be removed or completely reformed.
So Canada: GET OVER YOURSELF!!! I love you too much to listen to the fantasies of a disillusioned public who think we're better than everyone else. Canada may be one of the greatest nations in the world, but I can testify that our standing is in serious jeopardy of being usurped by our neighbours to the south. Most people in Europe and Asia would regard us as North Americans, and not Canadians, because our lifestyle, demeanour, attitudes, and social values are beginning to come online with the United States. We are in serious danger of losing all that identifies us as Canadian, and very few seem to notice or care. Wake up, and let's fix it before it's too late.
