Canadians have sheltered under the security umbrella America has
provided for the past fifty years. That's not a lie.

Americans have had to pay a price for being a superpower and the leader
of the free world. That's not a lie, either.

Canada is the only foreign country that a majority of Americans are
willing to personally fight and die for, according to a poll of a few
year ago. That's not a lie, either.

We were willing to put up a few dozen of our cities and the lives of
tens of millions of our civilians as collateral to guarantee our mutual
security. Don't sweat a flag on a backpack, dude. It's what friends
are for.

Um, it isn't?

Because I've been to Europe, I've seen plenty of young Americans
toting backpacks there, and I've *never yet* seen one who had a
Canadian flag displayed anywhere.

While on the other hand I *have* seen quite a number of American flags
displayed on hats, backpacks, and shirts; not to mention seeing
multiple cars and motorcycles sporting license plates from various
American states.

(A) Because you made it up. (Or were stupid enough to believe whoever
*did* make it up.)

(B) On the off chance that it happens -or has happened- on occasion,
you're stupid enough to think that occasional examples of things like
this mean anything.

After all, there are currently examples of Americans who whole-
heartedly believe in flying saucers, a flat Earth, the "fact" that we
never really landed on the Moon, and that the WTC wasn't knocked down
by radical Muslim terrorists.

But that doesn't mean that flying saucers are real, that the earth is
flat, that we never walked on the Moon, or that 9/11 was anything
other than an attack by radical Islamic terrorists.

It only means that there are a certain percentage of psychotic
paranoids in every population.

Couldn't put it better myself (snipped the kook ngs). Don't recall
ever seeing a Canadian flag displayed by travellers in Europe. A few T-
shirts and silly hats, yes. Yanks on holiday seem to go for small
Stars & Stripes sewn onto shoulders and breast pockets, quasi-military
stylee.

It's faintly amusing that US tourists are among the most easily
identifiable groups in London, along with the Japanese (for reasons
too obvious to mention). They just stand out. Adaptive camouflage
isn't in the tourist vocabulary, it seems. In contrast, the Aussies
and Kiwis seem to blend in. Until they open their mouths, anyway.

Apparently all you can do is spew fallacies.

You keep making that obvious about yourself.

You can't explain what PNAC's agenda was, much
less how 9/11 helped it along.
