daylia, your last post proved to me what I suspected. To somehow suggest that we are on the verge of invading our northern neighbor on the basis of an "invasion" that occurred over 125 years ago, is so ludicrous as to barely be worth responding too. I wonder if you would be so kind as to explain to me how the numerous times we have intervened in generous ways around the world would affect your logic? I wonder how the American blood that has been shed alongside Canadian, English, Scottish, Chinese, French, and all the others would mitigate your great powers of logic and intellect?

The point is that folks with the type of smug, self serving thought processes that you are displaying here are part of the problem. When you waste bandwidth with gratuitous assertions about a country as diverse as ours, you do nothing to advance understanding and peace. Many of us here fit some small part of your stereotype, but in the main are nothing close to being similar to the whole thing.

Want to cause real change and debate? Then do some homework, and create real discussion that has as its purpose enlightened discussion and understanding. What you have done is created a false predicate that supports your own prejudices and tried to debate it. The folks here are way to sharp for that.
