As a Canadian, who lives physically, right on the u.s. border. I have to
agree with Mr. Sinclair. The US gets a bad rap for being the big boys on the
street, as does everyone else who stands above the rest as the leaders in
their fields (Mr. Bill Gates, for example). Sometimes they deserve the flack
they get for their sometimes "cowboy" attitudes, and believe me, they have
not been angels on every occasion. But I will stand here and say that I have
never been so appalled by such an insane lack of care for innocent human
lives. And whatever measures the Americans take to make these terrorists,
you can be assured that we Canadians will be by their side, either
physically or emotionally. Hell, my girlfriend is American
God bless America, Canada and those that let this world be free, and God
have mercy on those that will be punished.
