Jesus Murphy - look, people don't like America. Live with it!......and try learning from it. People "hate" for reasons. If you all had of taken just a few seconds and listened to what Bin Laden was asking for in the first place, none of this mess would even be happening - you didn't have to meet his demands, but you all could have at least listened.


The fact people hate others doesn't mean we have to accept it or bow to others' whims.



All that towel-head wanted was the some removal of US troops from the cities and streets of his home (how would you like to wake up and see German tanks rolling thru your streets?).....

There are many who believe compliance with terrorists is not the right action. Give him an inch and then he asks for a foot.


America has to stop the "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude. And even then, the US still doesn't ask questions. Ask most Americans why 9/11 happened or why Canada doesn't support this war and what you will usually get is "Who cares - just get rid of them" or "they are crazy" or "they are anti-US".

Well, Bin Laden struck first. We are just finishing business. When a bully punches you in the nose, do you say,"What do you want? I'll give you anything." Maybe that is the way it's done elsewhere, but not in the US. Some believe the US shouldn't have become involved in the Gulf War. Hell, I know French who say they would rather be under German occupation. Now that is f'ing messed up. And if you believe that, then the argument is over, because we don't live under the same ideals and beliefs.


Those attitudes are very unhealthy, especially for a Nation. I don't understand it......if 9/11 was a "sucker punch", then you should be asking "why?" even moreso. I don't know, but if someone just walked up and hit me out of the blue (which is what people think happpened with 9/11), the first thing I would do is ask, "WHY"??? Mostly because I would want to know how to stop it from happening again. Running around punching other people in the face out of anger, hoping I hit the right person, is the last thing I would do.


Well, that is why you live in Canada and not the USA. We are going to stop it from happening again, because the guys who do such acts will be living in Hell. To say that I can dissolve another's HATE through my own actions is naive. Sometimes people hate others because of ideological or religious differences. Are you saying I should dispel my ideological or religious background to appease an aggressor? Bin Laden didn't like the sight of US troops in Saudi Arabia. He never said anything about the French, Germans, or legions of other troops liberating Kuwait, eh? Sounds like Bin Laden has selective hatred....



Think about it - if America is this saviour and helps everyone without asking for anything in return - why the hatred?????

You should ask the same of some of your own people.


Something has to change - America can't keep up this pace. There should be NO hatred of America

It's a two way street, Bubba. You can't tell us to stop hating, if your country is guilty of the same *****. I don't like how the Americans ball-players were treated, but I don't hate the Canadian protestors. I simply won't associate with the jack-arses, and I won't let the actions of a few Canadian protestors cloud my view of the others in Canada.

I feel you're painting the US as the LONE bad-guy. Sounds hypocritical to me.
