Your right. I'm suprised he didnt. I'm sure it wasnt intentional but he should have mentioned Canada. I thought his speech was brilliant. Even if he had help writing it. It was the first time I saw him really in control and passionate about what he was saying. I dont think theres a doubt in anyones mind that he is determined and bound to stomp out terrorism in the world.
My favorite quote:
"Your either with us or your with the Terrorists."
I too was a little dismayed by Hillary's attitude that night. It very well could have been something else though. You never know. Maybe it had to do with Bill. Maybe he had a run in with some Cubans.

We didn't have to open up our airports, homes and hearts to the thousands of Americans stranded in our Country - but we did because of the historic friendship between Canada and the United States.
We were the first country in the world to committ ourselves to helping the Americans wage this war on terrorism - even though it may put a great strain on our armed forces.
We have sent in emergency response from as far away as Vancouver, and many Canadian doctors living in or visiting New York were there to assist in any way the could, and of course tonnes of Canadian were killed in this disaster - one of my dad's collegues - his cousin worked in the WTC - they managed to identify his body parts.... another family friend (who is a prof at Harvard) his friend was aboard one of the planes out Boston.
So as you can see Bush's oversight of Canada was major screw up and has royally pissed off a lot of Canadians.
Sure Colin Powell talked about how great Canada was - the day after - but he was a "day late & a buck short" on that one....
