Yeah, and America's reluctance to join us in world War II still puzzles me?
Communism has never been illegal in Canada. Our politica spectrum is
inclusive...its called being free, and being able to excercise that freedom?
Why should that puzzle an American, living in the land of the free, and the
sometimes brave?
Maybe Canada never saw the spread of communism as  reason to kill people?
Well we don't see the spread of capitalism as a reason to kill people....so
relax. But guess what, there are people who think like AMerican's. Only in
reverse. They are willin to kill to stop the spread of capitalism and heck,
even democracy!!!!

Yes, give me your handy rationalizations.
Maybe the World Series sums up what is wrong with America.
Your pespctive is very skewed.

Its the American National Series in reality. Okay, so Canada won it
twice....but you still can't call it the World Series, yet you do, because
somehow in an American's mind Americais the world. America does it right.
Everyone else does it wrong. The AMerican way is the best, even when its the
worst.

I can see why it would be so hard to understand why AMerica would not
understand why Canada and very other nation on the planet was not frightened
by the spread of communism in south east asia, because we lack the paranoia,
and had no fear!

The other fact is AMerica has never been in a possition where it could
rattle its saber uncallenged. There is no other superpower that can keep
AMERICA in check>

America can easily go way too far, and go way beyond the scope of fighting
terrorism. America could, if is not careful become a world dictator. And I
assure you Canada will not suppot that at all. And how are you gonna know if
your media doesn't inform you. See, America is focused on its navel. Nothing
outside America exists, and American's remain ignorant of the world outside,
unless ther media tells them how it is out there. That's sad, but that is
the truth!
