1-Canada sucks,and is pathetic.
2-I saw a comment you made on someones blog about American's and bombing "just over oil". My husband fought in that war for 7 1/2 months. He has a right to opinion on issues there. You-you're a coward. Until you've been through it,you dont know anything. Your countrymen are also cowards. I hope someday the US bombs Canada. The french! LMAO..need I say more about the french?!

Just cuz he killed innocent ppl over oil doesnt make his opinion any greater.
Too bad canada alread beat the usa in war in 1812, we burned down your white house, know your history.
If the usa bombed canada i think they'd have alot of explaining to do to the rest of the world, and if im such a coward what are you,least i give my opinions when im logged in usingm my name, not like you "newbie"

we'll see what your opinion is if your husband ends up getting his f*cking head blown off..........and for what? because the U.S thinks that they should be able to go into whatever country they want and do what ever they please???? bunch of savages if you ask me.
I can walk down the street at 2 in the morning and not woory about getting shot or raped, i go out anywere my doors are left unlocked and when i get home my shits still here, i can go to the doctors and it does not cost me a cent. we don't fight wars, we don't have nuclear weapons, were peace keepers, we worry about making the world a better place not turning it into a war zone.
and as for jsin being a coward....any stupid ass with a high school diploma can join the army.
to all americans....please don't take offence to this it's nothing personal......but your goverment SUCKS!!!!!!
