That's right the world should be standing up to extremists, but not just Islamic ones. What about western religious loonies, right wing zealots. Why pick what loonies, why not just ban them all. I mean intelligent design- come on how dumb is that.........

It might be more appropriate to give credit for what was done not when. Russia also entered the war because it was attacked, only six months before Pear Harbour. They lost 20 million people and were responsible for defeating the bulk of the German army in the field. Do they get less credit because they only came in the end of June 1941? Without their victories in the East an invasion of western Europe would have been impossible and the Germans would still be there. With the exception of Southeast Asia, almost the entire war against Japan was fought by the US. Take credit when it is due but also give it. Well said. And speaking of Japan, Canada didn't even enter the war in the Pacific until December of '41; or am I wrong about that?

Well I live in Brighton in the UK and mostly it is Canadians who wear flag pins. Very few Americans wear pins with any flag but if they are you will usually find they are with an organised tour not on their own. And the reason Canadians are liked in Holland is because it was the Canadian army that had the left flank during the war and so advanced along the coast. This meant that when the Allies got to Holland it came under the Canadian army sphere of control.

That's just silly. The Americans may not be perfect, but they're not habitual butchers like Saddam or his "Republican Guard". Why not stop the reflex criticism of forces for good in the world? You forgot to include the word corprate in there. Bush works for big business not for you, Gandalf he is not.......

Similar in Norway according to what guys from there have told me. Grenades to. Exactly. Gun control alone doesn't make a difference, and in fact, things can be done without gun control that are much more effective and don't infringe upon someone's freedom. Freedom for what? Firefights with the neighbours, random drive bys. Just think they have free and open gun ownership in Baghdad (grenades too)--really nice place to live.......

No, only that there won't be any ice left on the North Pole. I just hope they supply Santa Claus with some wheels. Why? They would only gently spin as he sank into the Arctic Ocean....
