I'm not anti-American at all. As a Canadian I have a healthy suspicion of the motives of the US gov't, as do most of your own citizens. As far as regime change in Iraq goes, it certainly looks like a good thing that Saddam is gone, but it will be interesting to see if things are really any better there 10 or 20 years down the road. But in any case, I would never boo the US national anthem, or make rude comments to American children here to play hockey. And like most, I was appalled by the 9/11 attacks, and never did imply that it was the US's fault or that you had brought it upon yourselves.

BTW, the "Gauls" were a tribe in northern Europe a couple thousand years ago. The word you're looking for is "gall", if you're going to keep using it.

"I'm not anti-American at all."

Oh really? Then explain this:

"“As far as America-bashing by Canadians is concerned, well I think you could stand to have a little thicker skin. After all, if you're going to be the world's sole superpower and do whatever you want wherever you want in the world, it should hardly come as a surprise that some will resent you, even if that resentment is entirely rational. And as far as Canadians go, you try living next to a country whose population greatly outnumbers yours, whose culture tends to swamp yours, and who followed a doctrine called "Manifest Destiny" for many years that suggested that you wanted to (forcibly?) make us part of your country (yes, I know that was many years ago), and you might begin to understand the undercurrent of anti-Americanism in Canada.” "

That *is* anti-American. As for your arrogance in pointing out gaul vs gall -- I'll stick with gaul -- it means more to me -- not only arrogance but cowardice -- just like Canada.

Canada has crossed the line, as far as I'm concerned. Canada is no different than Germany, France, Syria and Cuba. May you all feel the sting of American rath!!
