Hence the reason our CN Tower is still standing and your towers are a pile of rubble.

I'm not sure if that's the only reason...I think that the terrorist attacks were aimed at the US.... BUT the attacks on the [U]WORLD[/U] Trade Center towers... were aimed at the world economy... in speculation. Also, if you don't have something that other people want... why would you attack them. Why would anybody waste their resources on attacking Canada? Canada doesn't stand as the symbol of modern democracy... and it's not a military super power... I like Canada... the drinking age is 18.... but the differences between Canada and the US go deeper than drinking ages... The US doesn't have to be the big brother... but what if we weren't? The US could easily pull all of it's troops out of every foreign nation and just keep to themselves.... Then 5 years down the road you would have civil wars all through Africa... North and South Korea would destroy each other along with the Eastern Hemisphere....The middle East would be a mess... I think the proactive approach of the US is the only thing keeping the world at somewhat peace... call me narrow minded and blinded by propaganda... but I have my own thoughts and I'm mature enough to realize what's right and what's wrong... though I can't find anything morally right about the US still being in Iraq... I can't fault the US for taking a proactive approach to stop terrorism in its tracks...
