That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. During and immediately after 9/11, there was an unprecedented outpouring of grief and support from Canada and almost every other nation. Thousands of Canadians put up American strangers who couldn't fly home in their guest bedrooms for days. There was a massive God damn candlelight vigil in Iran for crying out loud, although I doubt they reported that on CNN. In my city there's a huge mural with Canadian and American flags that says "together we stand", people put flowers and candles in front of it. Everyone was on your side and offered support. When you went into Afghanistan supposedly looking for Bin Laden, it was the most widely supported war in history.
It was two years later, when you forgot about Bin Laden and used this sympathy to invade an oil rich country that had nothing to do with 9/11 based on lies you presented in front of the God damn UN, killing over 100,000 innocent people, that the world remembered why you guys deserved it. What we were thinking crying for an empire that kills 3000 innocent people in any given month?
