(I'm Canadian).
This is a rather large issue - there is no group of
peoples or countries that has claimed responsability
for the attacks - so this could yet go in any
directions.
The attacks are the style of the palestinian nations -
and they currently have a motive. There are a *lot*
of issues;
a) There are a lot of loyal palestinians (and allies)
living in the U.S. and Canada...if we declared war on
their countries we'd see a lot of hell here.
b) If a war is declared, you can bet that a nuclear
bomb will be dropped - the terrorists are clearly
extremists - I'm guessing the only reason israel
didn't see nukes is because it's so close to
themselves.
c) Currently there's no one to declare war on - they
have no way they can say it's any one country with
them denying it...and the U.S. is far too democratic
to simply start attacking a country... - this means
that they'll have to choose an alternative. It's
possible that they'll have another country do their
dirty work. They might give israel pretty much
unlimited funding to eliminate the arab nations.
This is a pretty strange predicament. There already
is a war being fought but there's no one to fight
against - it's just turning into built up hate and
want for revenge.
