Some nasty name calling over four Canadians who are going to Iraq as volunteer "human shields". What seems to escaped the name callers is that

• Canada is a free democracy, if some of our people want to act as cannon fodder they are free to do so.
  
• A much larger group of American cannon fodder/peace activits that the four Canadians are joining.
  

Seems to be a case of being American First, thinking latter. And no that doesn't reflect on all Americans, Junk Yard Blog and and Hoystory were able to report the story without trashing Canadians, but Scrapple Face, ETC. and The Concervative Journal fell short of the mark.
