Ah, a stereotype rears its ugly head. We can refrain from such
unconstructive...um...I hesitate to call them contributions...let's just
call them insults and have done with it :-)

Not very Canadian. Sounds like a US refugee...Vietnam, maybe? We took in
most of your more intelligent citizens (the ones who knew there was no
point in going out to get theyselse kilt over lies).

No, it wasn't. A terror attack isn't a case of war.
The help was given without being obligated to do so;
a fact many USAns seem to have forgotten.

I'd suggest DHL for timely international deliveries. Does UPS still

Roughly 118 soliders and one diplomat till the end of April 2009.
Given the size of our forces in Afganistan this is a lot of people.

I was walking by the church in Kingston a few days ago when the
funeral service for Major Michelle Menzies was being held.

No, the fact that you were utterly able to provide the examples means that
*I* was correct, and you are just another liar who's been caught in his
lies. Not really interesting at all; rather routine, in fact.

A *decent* person would be embarrassed by being proven a liar as I showed
you to be. I see it took you six hours to respond, which you probably spent
feverishly and unsuccessfully trying to find examples of my "so often"
grammar-correction before posting "seems I was correct," which you know is
another lie. In the end, you have been shown up for the liar you are. Of
course that's in ADDITION to your complete ineptitude with the English
language and your cloddish ignorance of cooking.

Most Americans were unaware of the stereotype until those wacky Canadians
Bob and Doug McKenzie (which is to say Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) brought
it to our attention.

But does this mean that Canada *isn't* changing its national anthem from "O
Canada" to "Canada, Eh?" :-)

Speaking of national anthems, I read a story quite some time ago about a
police officer who had three men in custody, one of whom was a Nazi spy. The
police officer was quizzing them separately about Americana. He asked all
three to come up with the phrase matching "terror of flight." Only one of
them came up with "gloom of the grave." The other two didn't know the words
to the *entire* Star-Spangled Banner. But with typical Nazi thoroughness,
the spy had been briefed to remember the whole thing, and that's how he was
revealed as a spy.

Thing is, the war changed the US *titanically*. In 1940 we were like 20th
in the world in military power, behind places like Belgium and Portugal. In
1945 we were - and remain - *first* in military might...and economic might.

Pre - WWII we were isolationist. Afterwards we were thrust - and somewhat
reluctanctly - into a position of world leadership and influence.and we are
still there...

Unlike the French and the British and other former great powers we are
pretty lousy at playing the game of "empire"...we lack the stomach to attend
to the real tasks of committing to the "ruling" of far - away places. One
of the reasons we are somewhat "at sea" in Iraq and Afghanistan...

We occupied Germany and Japan and within a decade we sent them on their way,
as nation - states they are models of success. Of course we had defeated
them totally in war, they weren't engaged in intercinine ethnic conflicts,
and they were advanced industrial nations, in Germany's case they were a
cradle of Western civilisation...

All that said, the US has a right to be proud of what we did during WWII,
but we need to acknowledge what others did, too...

Michel up there with his comment on us getting "late" into the war forgets
that there was a ***STRONG*** anti-war and isolationist sentiment amongst
the US populace and this was reflected in our leadership, most of whom would
have been perfectly happy to let the Europeans fight it out amongst
themselves. There was even something of a lingering anti-UK feeling in many
quarters, FDR had to really work at even getting Lend-Lease passed. So
practically speaking, there was simply no way we were going to get into the
war without our being directly attacked. We should not have been shocked by
Pearl Harbor, but we have the luxury of hindsight...those at the time did
not.

I have to say that I have never heard those kinds of comments from
Canadian veterans, and I have known a lot of them. They figure that they
went over and did there duty and are proud to have done so. And our guys
were over in Europe long before the Americans in both world wars. Our
government did not sit back and watch their friends and allies get
pounded before the bad guys turned on them too.

For the most part any vets I've ever come in contact with for the most
part don't want to talk about it. I've never heard a bad word said
about our allies from our vets as everyone involved went through hell
and back.
