Your people invaded Iraq just 15 years ago. No matter what you say, I believe you have a rather large obligation when it comes to Iraq. It is easy to forget history, right?
FWIW, Polish army did help the US in Iraq, in the vain hope that if we kiss the US ass hard enough, we'll get visa requirements for Polish people removed...
> It's not strange that North America doesn't care much about Iraqi plight, as we have next to no relationship with them or their people.
> I am Canadian.
> I am a polish immigrant living in Canada.
you're North American, Canadian then you're Polish. just pick one.
in the first example, you were speaking as if you're an American and others are right to point out that America does have some responsibilities regarding Iraq given the recent history. Canada was involved too.
For that matter, many in Central and South America take exception to the term "American" being applied to USA citizens. So the term "American" can in some contexts be ambiguous. However "North American" is unambiguously referring to residents of any country in North America. It's wholly reasonable for somebody living in Canada to speak of living in North America. Arguably Canadians and Alaskans have more of a right to the term than anybody else!
