RESPONSE: Using the same logic you probably believe that Indian soldiers never fought in either of the WW ?? And that India Gate at the end of Rajpath is a farce that honours Indians who died in battle. And that all people born in present day India prior to 1947 are infact ........... British ?? At one time you stated (and I could be mistaken) that the US never attacked any country. Well the US did declare war on the Great Britain June 12, 1812. In that war the offensive actions of the US failed in every attempt to capture Canada. > Not only is this version not neutral, it is patently bogus. RESPONSE: I guess for you everything is bogus except when you say it. So in order to prevent any further arguing between our two peoples let's conclude that not only was there no Canada in 1812 but neither was there Ohio. Nevertheless you can now proudly fly the burgee. I'm glad Fred didn't quote The Globe and Mail or your buddy Haroon Siddiqui. I hope you are not going to ask me if I was refused a "green card" too....;-) Bon nuit!!
