Well... I wasn't actually addressing the statement. I really was amazed that so many Canadians seemed to dislike us so much.
That said....this country was pretty divided about the Gulf War and the War in Iraq. People, as a general rule, get along better than Governments. I frequently disagree with the Actions of the US Government. But I can't control it anymore than you can. And I'm also concerned with the Right Wing's portrayal of anyone who doesn't agree with Bush as unpatriotic or pro-terrorist. Disagreeing with the Govt. is what America is all about. It's the most AMERICAN thing you can do. At least it SUPPOSED to be.
One thing to remember... this country is run by rich, old, white men. And If the 9-11 types continue to "stuff one up our oscares" then we will get it stopped. Even if we have to pave the Middle East and put up a big Gas Pump. We are big, we are strong, and we are Patriotic to a fault when attacked. We are still the Giant with a terrible resolve and we will band together to kick the $h_t out of anyone we feel threatens us....right or wrong.
Now.... I don't even know anyone who thought the War in Iraq was a good idea, or was properly researched, planned, or executed. But I'm just an old fat white guy. But I have little cash so no one in the current administration gives a rats oscar what I think.
Woof
