"The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However, the prime minister of Canada said he'd like to help, but he's pretty sure that last time he checked, Canada had no army"

In this quote, comedian Conan O'Brien is satirizing the Canadian government's stance on fighting with Iraq. He highlights the contradiction in between their declaration of not wanting to assist and the prime minister's desire to do so. O'Brien then includes a funny twist by mentioning that Canada's absence of an army would make it challenging for them to actually supply assistance. This quote highlights the absurdity of political posturing and the significance of having a strong military presence in global affairs. O'Brien's use of satire serves to both entertain and make a commentary on the complexities of worldwide politics.
