Re: RE: Toronto Terrorists - expected result of invasion

They presented evidence that there was a plot to blow up targets in Toronto. What are the authorities supposed to do when they uncover a plot of this magnitude? They were not planning a pajama party.
If you disagree with the official version of this story what is your alternate version?
There are other possibilities:
1] Isn't it just so typical that this happens soon after Harper takes office, just a little quicker than Bush2 takes office until 9-11.
Thats one alternate - Harper sets this up, using heavily pressured Arab-Canadians who can save their families if they play along bla bla bla...
2]
What if they were organized, disgruntled employees who were only going to harmlessly (in a "lives lost" way) blow a piece of real-estate sky-high?? maybe block traffic and knock out a bridge or something to block the 407 (foreign-owned toll highway in southern ontario for those not from this area) as some kind of protest??
3] That they are the arabs from Canada the TV says they are, but
we don't know their motives. Maybe they are friends/family of poppy farmers angry over eradication efforts [ that Canadian commaders said we would NOT do while over there]. Maybe they are family/friends of someone bombed in Afghanstan, not part of AL Queda, and this is a good point on getting our troops out.
4] That this fertilizer bomb was headed for America... a very likely possibility - assemble it in Canada might be safer, or so they thought.
If it is the way the TV says, then its really good to see our boys nab them, America should get off our backs about being lax now, and other Terrorists planning to assemble bombs in Canada will know we are not a safe place to do that.
And this is just what we should be doing. It works, mostly.
We also extend a hand in aid - keep it up wherever ordinary Afghan citizens 'who don't fight' want help.
We can also try better dialogue - ask them to show us some sign that they are going to leave us alone if we pull out of Afghanistan, a declaration that Canada is "off the list". Thats a start even if its an agreement that is easy to break.
