Because if they don't, having a neighbor friendly to europe could prove to be a strategic disaster, and as such, might need to be dealt with... violently.

All countries on the North American continent should be held to a higher standard by the US than the rest of the world. And if they continuously disrespect the US and threaten our power, some coercion may need to take place. Canada needs to stop being so socialist and acting like a crying toddler, and start respecting and looking up to us more.

Why did Canada align itself with the ideology of the E.U and the U.N? How come they didn't align themselves with their friendly neighbors from the south? An allied North America with the U.S military, numbers, and innovation, paired with Canadas vastness, hardy-people, and bountiful resources would prove a major stronghold in the coming years.

In case you didn't notice, we were aligned with you quite strongly (and, in case you still don't notice, we still are) especially in the time following 9/11. People in my city flew American flags right up as high and beside their own Canadian flags - to show our brothers and sisters to the South that we feel for their plight.

We gave our support and troops to help you out in Afghanistan. We're still there, helping out as much as we can.

And then Iraq happened. We didn't support you, and still don't, because by and large Canadians have not been given a valid reason for invading Iraq. Perhaps your President spent so much time trying to convince his own country that it was a necessity that he completely forgot to try and convince the rest of the world about it. So we weren't convinced.

Did we "forsake" you? No, certainly not. One would have to be foolish to think so. We still work with you intimately in the War on Terror. We still sell you over 50% of the Oil we produce. We still remain here, hopefully as friends, despite the fact that we don't agree with your country's current course of action.

What do we get in return? Bullying. We have come very close to decriminalizing or even legalizing marijuana FINALLY after years of struggle in our own country....only to be threatened about it by your government. We forsake you, when you are a country who threatens us?

The USA has used Canada to its own designs just as it has used every other country in the Americas for its own purposes.

Get over yourself.

Why should we make anything up to you? Maybe your country should make up for the disrespects to millions around the world and to your own populace.


Because our military has stood strong in the face of communist Russia for 50 years, poised at the border of the red curtain, ready to absorb the attack if it should come, while the Europeans used this time to think up their new philosophy of peace?

Because as Europe bashed the U.S for spending money on the military in order to bankrupt the Soviet Union, they got to use our subsidies to pour into their own social welfare systems and then turn around and boo us for being uncaring?

Because we are a strong, proud nation, who use our balls and realize that the world is not a pretty place, and that we have the will and strength to carry out our goals, not only for ourselves, but for the plight of other people.

Because we saved the world before, and we will probably save the world again.

But go ahead and continue to worship Europe. Your leaders are France and Germany, two of the most violent nations in history who just recently decided to self-castrate themselves in lieu of their magnificent failure in a war when ONE of them theoretically should have won.

You have a choice, strength or pity. We want you on our team, brother.

America is the most beautiful country. I despise certain aspects of it, the theism and the socialist tint we have with welfare, but overall I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. This is the nation of power and greatness in the world, the one nation that never hesitates to walk with its will to power held up high.

And Trendal, we don't need a good reason to invade Iraq. This is America; we're militarily the strongest country in the world, and have no need to get on our knees and blow the UN before making a decision.

I'm beginning to worry that he may actually be serious.

Because you're an American, you have the freedom of speech to disagree with me. But America as a country will always march forward to greatness, no matter how much citizens disagree with the search for greatness inside its borders.
