But as >Canadians discover Americans know nothing about this side of the border. > I know it's often butthole deep to Yao Ming in snow and that's ALL I need to know to keep me out. Oh, that and your anti-gun laws suck... BIG TIME! I also know that you have a problem keeping the French-speaking Canadians happy. >911 terrorists were blamed on Canada even though they >entered the US legally and were trained in Florida. > > Canada has the most pourous immigration policies possible with the result that terrorists can easily enter and leave pretty much at will. It's a point of contention between our governments. >You asked why the world hates America. Bin Laden, Saddam, Noreaga of Panama >and others were all supported by the US until America turned on them. > America "turned" on them? I'm sure none of THEM did anything to warrant our actions.... did they? I don't have the time to explain why each was deemed an enemy of the US but you can research it and enlighten yourself. That bunch are all Boy Scouts, they are. >Iraq- most of the world has >turned on you because of your decision to go to war and now you want them to >take over. > WRONG! France, Germany & Russia were upset over the loss of sales to Iraq - in violation of UN sanctions, BTW - and lost revenues. Now they're further pissed because they aren't being allowed to participate in the rebuilding of Iraq...... more lost revenue. I don't want them or the UN to get involved. But, that's just me. The Brits have demonstrated more than once who our real friends in Europe are. I don't care for the Labour Party but Tony Blair gets my vote for standing by us. >As for your reference to World War 2, Canada was fighting along with Britain >long before you guys showed up. I didn't see the US airforce in the Battle >of Britain! > How many American flyers risked losing their US Citizenship to fly for the "Eagle Squadron" before the US entered the war? Unpon reaching England in early 1942, my uncle's first assignment was detatched duty to fly reconn missions in British planes over occupied Europe. He was a P-38 pilot and was quickly qualified on the Mosquito or Spitfire...... possibly both. He had the wings to prove it too. He ended the war with a Silver Star, DFC and two Purple Hearts among many other decorations. No one has belittled Canada's effort on behalf of the British Empire but don't pick a short period of time and try to belittle the US contribution to that war effort. >More important, during the early years of WW2, German prisoners >were brought to Canada and in on famous escape the moment he crossed into >the US he was a free man!!! > I remember cowardly US citizens crossing into Canada during Vietnam to escape the draft and have a better man take their place. You let them stay. Every last mother's son of them would still be there if I had my way with jail waiting for them if they dared to come back. >As for the end of the war how many nazis ended >up in the US? Have you heard of Werner von Braun? > > Do YOU have ANY idea of the importance of German rocket scientists to the Space Program and National Defense? Those were vital programs to the defense of the Western Allies, especially Europe. Do you have any idea how little money Canada has been able to devote to their own military because of their proximity to the US? Try paying for your socialist programs AND a military capable of defending your country from an invader without US assistance. >It is the attitude of do as I say but don't do as I do that you live by. >This is what is turning the world against you. > > See my previous comments. >One final note, my friend and former teacher teacher returned from 2 weeks >in Italy and talked about the graffiti every where they went-- f*** Bush! > I've heard that the Italians are an over-sexed bunch but I don't find the thought of having sex with GW very appealing. Maybe the Italians are turned on by a strong-willed man. Who knows? LOL
