The terrorism in the U.S.A. was an attack on THEM, not Europe and it had nothing to do with S.Africa-- it was to do with Osama Bin Laden wanting his name to go down in history because he's an egotistical swine. I know that people in Afghanistan are very poor and life is hard, but tough shyte if they are bad at business. No one ever promised them a rose garden. It's not an attack on a less wealthy nation when one country makes a good business move by trading with, say, France because it will be profitable. It is simply good business. Business is not about being nice or charitable or giving hand-outs. It is about making money by being smart when the figures are added up-- and it is wrong for those who aren't doing well to go kill 30,000 people because they're sulking that they're not the big weiner and don't get to be the girl with the most cake and the princess crown. > you might be living in comfort and ease... but we're not, and while that > disparity exists, you should fear... Do you think that the countries of North America do nothing to help nations that suffer? Pardon me, but that is one of the things that Canada puts a lot of time into. Peace Keepers don't just try to keep people from blowing the shyte out of each other-- they also spend a lot of their time giving relief to the nations that they are shipped to, whether it is wartime or not. Canada is not alone in that. America also does its share. Your view of America and Canada both seems to be missing a few pieces. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ,qppppp. qMMM____;M ~ Taliszanna WhiteCrow ~ (a.k.a Jessie Brown OR qMMM.^^(Mp Her Mighty Erisian Po*piness, Pope Dances-with-Earwax) .qMMM__=/Mp _/ http://talis_white_crow.tripod.com/ MMMMM_',MMp
