So does that mean that all celebrities are Canadian? NO.

Canadians are also responsible for countless other well-meaning initiatives in the world - food and water in Africa, peacekeepers in war-torn countires, good things both globally and domestically.

Does that mean that all people who do good in the world are Canadian?

So, how on earth can you take 20 out of 25 hijackers and say that all Saudis are terrorists?

Indeed, I find the fact that the Saudi gov't hasn't been all that straightforward about terrorism troubling - but calling an entire country terrorists? How wrong is that?

Isn't it also troubling that in the recent 9/11 report your US gov't blacked out PAGES detailing Saudi involvement? What's Mini-Bush got to hide?

Um.... what?

That wasn't my point at all.

Did I ever say "all Saudi's are bad?"

The point is that, as far as threats go, there's a bigger threat of terrorism coming from Saudi Arabia than from Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan combined. Rather than doing something about it, we simply turn a blind eye while we needlessly liberate the crap out of poor Iraq and Afghanistan, and threaten Iran. The Saudis sell us oil and then turn around and use the money to fund more terrorism.

But who cares right? Blowing up towelheads is fun, no matter where they live! So lets just pretend that Iraq is a problem, drop some fire on that country so that we can exact some more revenge for Uncle Sam under the guise of "liberation" and continue to take oil from Saudi Arabia so gas prices will go down...... oh wait. That didn't happen either.
