Canada can't even afford its armed forces anymore and do they thank us since they don't NEED them because of the US? No they whine like every other quasi-socialist nation without the guts or the strength to do anything themselves.

this type of attitude is why we are a target of terrorism. plain and simple. i find it threatening, and i enjoy the protection and freedom afforded me by my status as a citizen of the united states. it is not hard to see how any other culture - particularly a non western one - would believe the only way to reason with a brute is by brute force.
