When you look at the number of troops that are our allies in this fight against terrorism, they appear miniscule compared to our own involvement. Our two closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico are glaringly absent from the list of supporters. Both breed terrorists to infiltrate our unprotected borders. If push came to shove, how many of our allies could we depend upon to back us on our own shores with the aid of their military strength should the need arise? We're sending our reservists into overseas action, but heavy duty now we need to make sure our own back end (borders included) is protected.

That is a good question, and very thought provoking. Thank you.

I agree with you 100 PERCENT. We are surrounded to the north and south by two of the most lilly-livered countries ever founded. Who would really come to our aid in time of crisis? God please help us that we never have to find out.
