Last time I checked Canadians were attacked by the Taliban/Al Queda in Afghanistan after America was attacked on Sept. 11th and America went to war - anyone else that was there was there to support America but was not there in the same context as America.

Do your homework... Canadians (as well as French and Brits) were in Afghanistan before Sept.11th as party of a number of multi-national aid organizations... and were regularly subject to attacks and harrasment.

Last time I checked there have been far more American casualties and kidnappings in Iraq - how many were there of Canadians? Regardless, the Canadians again were not there for the same reasons as Americans and weren't suffering the same way as Americans.

Well it stands to reason doesn't it... shear odds really... there are so many more Americans than any other foreign nationals in country.. but regardless other countries including Canada have had their citizens taken hostage too... including nations that did not support the war with Iraq, but are there to try to help the people of Iraq rebuild.

Again, you catch your own terrorists and do what you want to them OK? We experience things that you don't and will do what we want to ours. Should your country take issue with what we do, they can impose sanctions or attack us. Please pass that message along.

Yep we catch terrorists we do what we do, but mostly it is patterned off the British and other European tactics and legal practices (you know since they have so much experience and all).
