When Prime Minister Brian Mulruney announced two week at'o that Canada would send the ships he said. "Canada, as a founding member of the t'nitcd Nations devoted to the rule of law, must play its part in the multi national effort toend Iraqi aggression." But even before he took that action Canada had co-sponsored a I resolution mandating economic isolation of Iraq by susjicnding trade and economic relations. As a member of the I security council it alo joined in the council's unanimous vote rejecting Iraq's claim to have annexed Kuwait.

However, the security council still does not have agreement on a resolution that would approve military force as a means of isolating Iraq. "Canada is not a superpower," Mulroney said in announcing the Canadian decision to go to the gulf. "We do not have the might and the reach of some others. Canada is, however, capable of making a contribution to the containment of aggression and to the defence of the integrity of nations, as we have done effectively throughout our history." However, a spokesman for the federal Liberal party said the ships should have been held back until the government gives Canadians a full explanation about their purpose. "It as premature" of Mulroney to commit the vessels, said Jean-Robert Gauthier, the Liberal House leader.

Lewis said the most imfMirtant thing now is to avoid further provoking the already inflamed situation. "There will be enough provocation by Hussein. There should be no opportunity given to him by our side." But other analysts argue sending the ships is the least Canada ran do to demonstrate it will not tolerate Iran's aggression. "When one has aggression, the earlier the aggressor is told he will have trouble, the better," said John Toogood.
