Wow...do you even know what a "threat" is? Would you call 9/11, with promises of more to come a threat? Have you noticed that these "unrelated" plots that coincidently involve Muslims plotting or killing civilians in the U.S. are happening with increasing frequency? I the past few months we've had Fort Dix, today's plot and a Bosnian Muslim refugee who killed several people in a shopping mall. I guess you think nothing is a threat until it personally happens to you. What about the scumbags that were caught in the practice-run stage of blowing up about 10 trans-Atlantic flights between England and the U.S. Please wake up...you with your "there really isn't a terrorist islamofacist threat" make me sick. And don't worry, Canada is DEFINATELY not exempt from this shit. You'll have plently to talk about north of the border when the shit hits the fan there. Then you can try out your theories with your fellow Canucks after they've been hit, and see how receptive they are.
I think most Canadians are fully aware that if there is a terrorist attack in Canada, it will be engineered in the United States, as a tactic to get Canadians to give up the same freedoms that Americans lost when the Bush administration at least allowed 9/11 to happen, if not actively participated in engineering it.
I'm sure you havent done this AL, but have any of the brighter people reading this ever considered that if Al Queda didn't exist, the military-industrial criminals and the neo cons would have had to invent it. And we know one thing for sure. At one point in time, Al Queda didn't exist.
The logical extension of the 9/11 attacks, if they were not approved in the Bush adminstration, would have been to have pressed the advantage, with the types of attacks you and I talked about above. Had even a few of those things been done, you would be living in a third world economy and a lot of Arabic speaking people would be very rich from the money they made shorting every major American industrial stock and index. American airlines would be bankrupt. Nobody in their right mind would get in a Boeing airplane anywhere in the world. And thousands of other results that come about when a "terrorist" analyses how vulnerable profits are to violence and acts on that analysis.
That didn't happen. That wasn't in the script. An invasion of Afghanistan was in the script. An invasion of Iraq was in the script. For some reason, instead of a few operatives coming over from the middle East and reducing the American economy to rubble, they took to blowing themselves up in Baghdad. What did happen is that hundreds of billions of dollars of American tax dollars were transferred to companies that make things that kill people, some 3500 of your young men were killed in the process of their killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraquis and tens of thousands of your people were maimed in the process of maiming hundreds of thousands of theirs.
But there has not been another attack in America. And thank God for that. The reason that there have been no more terrorist attacks in America is because Terrorist Attack Central understands that other attacks would quickly send Americans into hysteria and demand that the war in Iraq end and that the troops come home to defend them against the "islamofascists" in the homeland, which wasn't all that secure after all. But what works just as well is to nip this plot and that plot in the bud and getting the press from that. Kind of makes giving up all those freedoms seem worthwhile, doesn't it.
This situation exists in America because of people like you, AL. Slogan spouting puffball "patriots" that would shit themselves into a coma if they ever really did face an Al Queda that really was a terrorist threat to America.
As for Canadians, if we ever experience a terrorist attack, we will know it originated in Washington, rather than Tora Bora. And we will know that this Vichy Conservative son of a bitch we have for Prime Minister will have approved it to further his one world one God philosophy that he shares with the international war criminal you have for a president, a man real presidents like Jefferson and Lincoln and Roosevelt would long ago have put in front of a firing squad.
You can't even arrest Calvin Ayre, for Christ's sake, and stop him from ripping off a few thousand Americans stupid enough to still have their money in Bodog. If you can't arrest a guy who taunts your government and your people by laughing about breaking your laws and not paying taxes, how you gonna get Osama?
