I have to agree with the sentiments that the U.S. is spreading itself way too thin. If there was a REAL threat to their country, the only way they would be able to do anything about it would be to reinstate the draft, which means more Americans in Canada...
However, since the U.S. is busy bullying Iraq and Afghanistan, it hasn't been stealing milk money from other countries such as Venezuela and Cuba, which is probably one of the few positive aspects of their involvement in the near east.
As a side-note, has anyone else noticed that since the printing of the Muhammed comics, Canada has fell victim to more attacks and casualties than prior? I know this sounds ludacris, but I read an article a few months ago in, I believe, the Globe and Mail warning about the possible repercussions of printing those comics. I was reluctant to believe that they would have any impact, but then again, look what happened in Denmark.
Does anyone else think there could be a possible correlation?
