"Correct me ifI'm wrong but I thought you're post was making the point that Canadians are not trying to offend Americans at large but just George Bush.

That is my point, although the use of the phrase 'trying to offend' is just a little over the top.

"If that is the case, then it logically follows that offending the policies of George Bush naturally offends those who support those policies which as of the latest election was a majority of Americans.

I hate to tell you this, but complaining about a politician is not the same as complaining about the people of the country. Politicians are in power for a very short time, the people are there a heck of a lot longer.

This disagreement may just be about the difference between our attitudes toward politicians and yours. We've always complained about politicians, ours and other country's.

I don't remember whining, I think that was your voice I heard whining about the Canadian attitude toward the Bush administration.

No, no whining from me, ever. I'm a stoic. :-} I take a punch as good as I give one.

You were complaing about Canadians having a right to express their opinion. That's self evident and hence whining when you make a point of it.

I was simply pointing out that Canadians can no more spearate their abhorence of certain US policies supported by Bush from the people who elected him any more than the left wing moonbats of the world can claim support for the troops while declaring they are losing the war.

You see the difference now sharpy?
