This is why I think most Canadians, as it turns out, "blame" America for 9/11...

Now as for whether America "deserved" to be attacked - I think that the vast majority of Canadians would state that America didn't deserve to be attacked. Nor did 3000 civilians deserve to die (not the 5000 stated earlier) because of American policy. Saying America deserved it, and blaming American policy for it are two different animals all together.
