Canadians are not in Iraq... but they should be. Why?

Michael Totten just returned from Iraq. He visited one of the torture houses where over ten thousand Kurds - including children - were tortured and murdered.

"The hardest thing to see was the cell used to hold children before they were murdered. My translator Alan read some of the messages carved into the wall." says Totten.

“I was ten years old. But they changed my age to 18 for execution.”

“Dear Mom and Dad. I am going to be executed by the Baath. I will not see you again.”

Do the Cindy Sheehans of this world believe that their son's life had more value than the lives of these children? Her son freely chose to go somewhere that she didn't like. These children had no choices.
