Hey, TORO, don't let these lefties get under your skin. Those of us who actually know something about the US knows what a great country it is. So is Canada, especially now that we actually have a leader.
The US does exist as the whipping boy for those who have no other thoughts but envy. The funny thing is, they have no better solution than to bash the US. No alternatives, except to leave all the dictatorrun countries to the dicatators. Lets see. Bomb the hell out of Quadaffi, he becomes a good boy. Capture Saddam, and Iraq is on the way to democracy. Taking some time, but only good things are worth fighting and waiting for.
In Afghanistan, things are really looking up, reports are finally coming out that the coaliation forces, especially the Canadians, have the Taliban on the run, and they cannot match us face to face.
All in all, good news for the rest of the world, methinks. Get rid of the insane idiots a la bin Laden and Saddam and Quadaffi, and who knows how this world may actually turn out. For the better, IMO.
