JayB Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Since the received wisdom around the world is that every bombing of the US and/or attack on its citizens is a just, fully warranted, and legitimate response to American foreign policy, how do you explain the planned attack on Canada? Quote
ZimZam Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Did you really think that mattered. Aren't the Canadians in Afghanistan? They're citizens for Christ sake. More people co-opted by religion. Quote
foraker Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Nice to see you got your snark back, JayB. I'd missed your bombastic oversimplifications. Been going over some old writings of Michelle Malkin and David Brooks have you? Quote
cj001f Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 over some old writings of Michelle Malkin The Hutu leader! yay! Time to stock up on machetes so we can slay those 'cockroaches' the democrats! Quote
JayB Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 Nice to see you got your snark back, JayB. I'd missed your bombastic oversimplifications. Been going over some old writings of Michelle Malkin and David Brooks have you? Just scrolling through the "Google News" feed for Canada, actually. Also some coverage on NPR this afternoon. So give me your nuanced analysis of why these men wanted to detonate a large explosive device in a major Canadian city. The global consensus seemed to be that the US had it coming on account of it's foreign policy, and Canada has been at pains to differentiate it's foreign policy for nearly 30-40 years, so what do you think motivated them to initiate this plot?

olyclimber Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 maybe it would be easier than messing with america, and canadia is essentially the 51st state, right? Quote
foraker Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I'll give you my 'nuanced analysis' when you explain how you reached the facile conclusion that there is a 'global consensus' that we 'had it coming' (i.e. that we actually deserved it rather than we were just the most obvious target for some misguided loons).

fear_and_greed Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Since we're helping out the evil empire in Afganistan we are branded as targets ourselves. We made the correct decision not to join in the Iraq occupation/oilgrab but the Canadian thing to do would have been to hold a nationwide referendum on the Ahgan matter. Either that or the Jihadis think that our virgins are better up here. Quote
