i don't agree with how canada has treated the states during the war. politicians who bashed americans should be canned without a doubt. there should not be this bad blood between us, its stupid. clinton was 10x better at dealing with other countries. bush does nothing but piss people off.
we're not the ones who will get attacked. america is fighting a war against terrorism. freezing assets and going after terrorists is only the tip of the iceberg. trying to change the perception these people have about americans is the key and will take time.
you have a chance now to do it. saying that canada is wrong in handing saddam over to the international courts is part of why americans have such a bad rep in the world. if you try to bully people around, then hatred will grow.
whether you like it or not, america's actions have contributed to the hatred of americans. these arabs didnt wake up one day and say 'fuck we hate americans'. american actions have fueled the fire. they're still fueling the fire when they have a chance to throw some water on it. its not enough to put out the fire, but its better than nothing.
