    Bin Canada
In summary: Many Americans wanted to immigrate to Canada after the 2004 election, probably with hopes of being safe from all this madness. Canadians believe U.S. President George W. Bush is almost as great a threat to our national security as Osama bin Laden, according to a government opinion poll obtained by the National Post.I'm an Independent with plenty of criticism for both parties -- and maybe you missed the thread about all the good things Bush has done.Please feel free to share.In summary, many Americans wanted to immigrate to Canada after the 2004 election, probably with hopes of being safe from all this madness.

Does anybody have any references for this poll? If CNN conducted the poll I'd be surprised if they limited their sample to just Lou Dobbs viewers as a simple phone in would have sufficed.
They do polls daily, and it is advertised throughout the news broadcast--you can just go online and vote whenever, and see the results at that time.

When are people going to learn to speak for themselves? There's absolutely no way anyone can say what Canadians believe... there's 30,000,000 of us. Yeah yeah... really small number... you ¶©¢–¬¢ Americans got a 100 year long start on us, eh?!

From the thread with Chomsky, who makes an interesting and factual observation,
The senior CIA analyst responsible for tracking Osama bin Laden from 1996, Michael Scheuer, writes that “bin Laden has been precise in telling America the reasons he is waging war on us. None of the reasons have anything to do with our freedom, liberty, and democracy, but have everything to do with U.S. policies and actions in the Muslim world.” Osama’s concern “is out to drastically alter U.S. and Western policies toward the Islamic world,” Scheuer writes: “He is a practical warrior, not an apocalyptic terrorist in search of Armageddon.” As Osama constantly repeats, “Al Qaeda supports no Islamic insurgency that seeks to conquer new lands.” Preferring comforting illusions, Washington ignores “the ideological power, lethality, and growth potential of the threat personified by Osama bin Laden, as well as the impetus that threat has been given by the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Muslim Iraq, [which is] icing on the cake for al Qaeda.” “U.S. forces and policies are completing the radicalization of the Islamic world, something Osama bin Laden has been trying to do with substantial but incomplete success since the early 1990s. As a result, [Scheuer adds,] it is fair to conclude that the United States of America remains bin Laden's only indispensable ally.


Wouldn't that kind of support the contention of this thread?
