man i hope your not trying to imply what i think you are trying to imply.

Bin laden was pissed about US forces on the Arabian Peninsula, his homeland and home to Mecca and Medina. hardly a rational thought given he was booted off the peninsula by the Saudis and the Saudis wanted us to be there!

Im not Canadian, I just study here. I do sympathize with Canadians more than with States people, that is true. As for what I was implying, it is irrelevant to the rest of my argument, but it is naive of me to assume that you can actually argue. And yes, If the US had not they're meddlesome and expansionist capitalist policy in former decades Bin Laden would not have existed and would not had had even the shallowest reason to perpetrate such act. So yes, I am implying that your country had 'some' responsibility in what happened. I am not however implying that your country had full responsibility or that it was an act correct in and on itself.

It's so easy for the Canadians to be the one's that everyone loves because they know the US would never let them be attacked.

It's easy to oversimplify arguments and pick nit at irrelevant points too. In theory, you might have a point. The Canadians have their own foreign policy which is relatively independent and quite different from the states. People like them more for many reasons. I for one enjoy it here more because there is less tension in the air. I cross the border and it always feels like something is going to go down. Truth is, I feel less safe in the US and I can notice some discrimination every time I am there. You can pretend that the reason you stated is why Canadians have the apparent 'luxury' to be better behaved, my personal opinion is that they have just managed better than you people.
