Instead of the U.S. being admired in the world, they are now feared and other countries think they are trying to take over/ that or they think the U.S. is trying to change existing countries to meet their ideas of what they should adhere to - politically and religiously. It's time they backed off and attended to their own problems, which are many!!

As an american taxpayer I could care less if we are admired/feared, but I do agree with you about returning to focus on issues at home though. I would prefer not to pay for bases in the middle east, nor for a missile shield for Europe. If we leave them alone, they will go back to killing each other as they have for millinea. Europe can build its own missile shield if it wants one, and we can go back to exporting Big Macs and Britney Spears.

The missle shield is there to protect Israel. The Europeans can take care of themselves.

You should care. If you ever left that enclave of yours and went out into the real world, you would care very much indeed. Because you'd be scared sh*tless, as soon as people found out you were amerikan. That is why a lot of amerikan dirtballs pose as Canadians while abroad. As a Canadian, I enjoy exposing these pieces of filth wherever I meet them. I also enjoy the warm fuzzy reception they then get. Yup, you proud amerikans, so proud of your country that you go sneaking around, posing as something you're not. You are nothing but trash.

The Canadians I know, and there are many, would know how to spell American!! The more other countries view the U.S. in a bad light, the more the danger from them........

You don't represent most of your countrymen - I doubt if you are one - and if you are, please stay north of the border and don't cry out for help when you are under attack!!

Jorge is really more likly Abdulla Imafulofshita Bin Brainwashed. I would not pose as Canadian or any other nationality. The fact is I would not visit a place that thinks its ok to blow themselves up! Sorry AIBB we Americans really deep down don't give a sh** about your problems with our countries policies we have to deal with them at home enough not to care how they are dealing with you. When you start blowing up stuff here then you will get our attention and unite us in the extinction of radical Islam and then we will write the Politicians a blank check to kick your asses off the face of the Earth....

Typical yankee posters. Don't give a crap until something goes boom. It's too late, then, to fix things. The trick, boys, is to keep your ears open AND your minds open to the subtle things. That way nothing gets out of control. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I'm anadian too, and I spell it americ*nt.

Addendum to last post. Before some inbred, braindead hillbilly, of a yankee accuses me of not being able to spell Canadian, blame it on a sticky keyboard. Another piece of consumer trash, made in amerika.

Great posts, I live on one of those sand bowls the yanks like to blow up now and again because of terrorists... and somehow never manage to find any. Love it out here, would never change, and at least the government here gives us all health care.

George the Bush, Prick Cheney, Ronald Dumsfeld and Co. (yes I did spell it that way for a reason) coudn't careless if you all die of some petty illness back in the US so long as their Zionist buddies and those bending them over a table have a smile on their faces.

Wake up you hillybillies, they are robbing you blind!

And just who will you 'Kanadians' come to crying for help when the going gets rough? If you hate your southern neighbors so much, why do you leave your country in droves the minute your toes get cold, for our warm states. I doubt if there is anyone left up there to do business!

'The trick, boys, is to keep your ears open AND your minds open to the subtle things'

Or... never do anything of note but complain about your southern neighbor. Not really subtle though, like being our international mother in law stuck forever in the back seat on a never ending car trip.

' Before some inbred, braindead[sic] hillbilly, of a yankee[sic] accuses me of not being able to spell Canadian, blame it on a sticky keyboard.'

Another porno addicted kanook I see... I am sure the keyboard isn't the only sticky thing up there in your moms basement.

'Another piece of consumer trash, made in amerika'

Seeing as how you don't produce anything in kanada, (Except constant hen-pecking and self serving myths) it would have had to come from somewhere else.

The posts here from so-called 'Kanadians' are the bottom of their barrel - most of the ones I know are not the way these creeps are depicting and they wouldn't want to be associated with these scum!!

It's a shame that humans don't learn from history and the mistakes of others. The US would be well advised to drastically alter their intended world-domination plans because no matter how strong you are; no matter how cunning you are; whenever your modus operandi is exposed, you are doomed to fail before you start.

Let us revisit the israeli holocaust scenario to substantiate my point: We are told by the historians that the israelis were told that they were being taken to concentration camps somewhere in Germany or Austria, I think.

But none of them were told the truth; i.e. that they would be herded into gas chambers. The question arises: Would six million folks walk like a bunch of automatons knowingly into death chambers? Wouldn't they not act like all rational humans would?

Since they are going to kill us, we may as well go down fighting. I am sure that not even half of them would have been gassed had they known the truth.

Second point: The nazis made prisoners they were about to kill dig their own graves and then after they had reached the required depth, shot every one of them. Again I ask the question: Would you dig your own grave at gunpoint knowing that immediately afterwards you are going to be shot?

No. You are not going to make the enemy's job easy. It is this reason that clearly indicates to me that the US are on a path of self-destruction. Believe me, any attack on Iran is going to have some serious repercussions on the american landscape. Mark my words.

If the US were psychoanalysed as if it were a human being, it would be diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur.
