Garth Brooks - Comments and Message Board

Hey ya’ll! Was anyone able to check out Carter’s Chord’s new digital album?? It came out Tuesday. I heard from my friend at UMGD that they are allowing people listen to the whole album for free at www.thatscountry.com Take a listen and see if you like!! Let me know what you think : ) Bethany

It is my understanding Mr. Brooks, during a concert in North Dakota asked all Canadians in the audience to stand up and when they did, he then asked them to leave because we were not fighting with the US in Iraq. I proudly served my country as a combat soldier and am equally proud Canada did not follow the US in there attack on Iraq for reasons that have never even been discussed. Iraq has the largest untapped oil reserves in the world. Afghanistan is essential to provide a pipe line for US transport to the American nation. I believe the US has created a present and future terrorist threat with their attack which now presents a serious threat to western democracies. We may be drawn in to this mess because of the US but thank God for our Canadian leadership on this issue. Mr. Brooks by asking Canadians to leave the concert not only insulted this nation but the many who have made the supreme sacrifice for democratic institutions. He had the right to do so, not that it was the right decision, but I have known too many who have died ensuring that Mr. Brooks and others in my country have that right. I will not allow their sacrifices to be forgotten. And besides, do I understand Mr Brooks is actually an Australian?
