I know that the USA & the WTC was targeted. And I know that the terriorists hate the USA with a passion. But other countried have been targeted also. I am just very surprised that major countries such as Britian/ Canada etc have not been blasted.
The rest of the world is out there.... and regardless of who makes the decisions, just what those decision are and how they are done will affect us too.
don't forget us ok. My apologies for my country being such a wussy in these things......
Are you kidding? For way too long, we have predicated our foreign policy on what the rest of the world might think of us, a position that has not brought us any friends, but derisive scorn in place of friendship. What other countries use international opinion as the driving force that formulates their foreign policy? A superpower acts like one.
Interesting points Sue. I would not call your country names though. Canada has stood by the U.S. through many conflicts large and small. I will never forget how Canada brought home the hostages from Iran. That was a defining moment for my high regard of Canada at a young age.
Thanks David: The Canada of today though is a far cry from the Canada that brought home the hostages from Iran. There is no backbone in this country's politicians and even less regard for honesty & integrity in parliment. Sigh.

I don't like it,but...If we are so all fired up to be part of the united nations, then we are bound by its rules. If the rules state that we must go by the majority, I am sorry,but we made the choice. I am for getting out,but I don't run the country.If we stay in the U.N. and keep on as we are going, we are acting just like the Russians of the sixties or the Chinese of the 70's. If we stay we have to be willing to go with the U>N> majority. Therefore our opinions will be influenced or determined by others.
