I really have no clue where that 83% figure came from. I admit, I find you guys sometimes a little nosy internationally, but there's no justification on God's green earth for killing 3000 people NEARLY ALL OF WHOM WERE CIVILIANS.
I'd say I don't like how the country is being run right now, but I have friends and family who are Americans, and they in no way deserved to have that brought down upon their country.
And Iron_Ranger, how can you possibly call our country ridiculously wide open when all of ONE of the 9/11 hijackers got into the country through Canada? How many of them came in through the US. And how would even the tightest security have stopped them, short of discriminating against all Arabs?
And you're right, we have a crap military. We're too busy making a public national healthcare system (which, despite complaints, works just fine) and better education.
Don't get me wrong, I can understand how Americans can be upset with his comments. I was shocked too. I just don't see a need to rail at all of us.

Well your right, Americas systyem was pretty lax pre 9/11. But come, dont agure Canada has the most wide open borders on the planet. Its a fact. You could have a proven fake vis and they would still let you in.
