'If Canada is the portal for another 9/11 we will do more then "point it out". With us or against us. Remember?'

Yes, we remember ... and that's why Bush gets bad press. This black and white, us-against-the-World point of view is detrimental to a unified front. So, sleeper cells in Canada cause an event in the U.S. and suddenly we're an enemy worthy of an extreme reaction ... nice. I'm glad not all Americans think like that.

Why are we in Afghanistan again? We're in on the fight against terrorism too ... remember THAT.

It unfortunately is that black and white. The US is pointing out the fact that Canada is not doing enough to prevent terror cells from operating in Canada. If they harm us, we will be royally and rightly pissed. How would Canada feel if the shoe was on the other foot? Say if Quebec separatists were operating in the States and preparing to attack? The least you can expect is a shut down of the border, and perhaps a military presence.

And re defence, Canada has been leaching off the US for several decades now. Knowing full well the US has to protect all of North America. Meanwhile, acting oh so superior and morally elevated. I'm damn sick of it.

"So, sleeper cells in Canada cause an event in the U.S. and suddenly we're an enemy worthy of an extreme reaction ... nice. I'm glad not all Americans think like that."

Enough do. Rather than telling us Americans here on our site what we should be doing, better to change your own government. There is no moral equivalence between the United States of American and Canada. Canada needs to deal with terrorists and the threat of terorism. America is already about that business.
