You Canadians just stay in your dream world, that just because you are nice, the terrorist will leave you alone.
Keep on dreaming.
Sadly, we're not that naive.
It has become quite clear, especially over the last few days, that most western countries have now been grouped as one as far as extremists are concerned. In their eyes, there is no difference between the guys who dropped the bombs on their heads, and the guys who have done nothing to prevent it. I don't agree with either sides, but as sides must be taken, we "pussy Canadians" are not given much choice.
Now is not the time to point fingers at anyone... that would be too easy.
Rather, it should be a time to try to fix this whole freakin mess that we have all be dragged into by a handfull of dominating countries who obviously don't know the meaning of multi-latteralism. It would have been easier to have avoided the whole damn thing in the first place, but what else can be done now that the US trained Bin Laden is still on the loose, or that the US backed government of Saddam Hussein during the Iran/Iraq war has opened up a brand new can of whop-ass...
Let's drop this whole freakin cowboy attitude, and let's come up with some REAL ways of fixing this whole damn thing... dropping bombs is just too damn easy, especially when the ones making those decisions are not the ones paying the price for it.
Don't get me wrong - I do feel for ALL of the soldiers around the world fighting for other people's screw-ups. I just don't agree with the "an eye for eye" approach....
