and these people are making crime against humanity , in whatever form or colour that may be. That said countries like france , Germany, Luxembury, Austria, DEFINITELY the SWISS need to get off their fat asses and start fighting the problem. Along with may other countries. The more that get on board the less effect the terrorist will have and can have. I think any country doing business with the sponsoring or supporting countries is as guilty as the host country and should be cut off , period. There are very few countries that want to lose access to the US market and though it may hurt a US a bit , its time to flex that muscle if the "neutral" countries won't commit to fighting terrorism full throttle. Now this doesn't mean war but economic sanctions, holding persons of interest until they are cleared. Allow arrests under interpol or a similar agency.
As for colour versus culture, we will all be chinese in 100 years so get used to it. Seriously, it is a very sticky issue and I have a culture I would like to protect also. Maybe it means letting in a surge of immigrants and then closing borders for 10-20 years to allow the immigrants to adapt to our culture. And definitely not to support the esblishment of independant schools and training facilites that teach people how to live in the country they just came from.
I know many many landed immigrants and they came here to be Canadian , not ex-pat whatever. They get quite pissed at the radical elements of their culture that want to assimilate us instead of adapt to their new country. Also they get mad at the Canadian government for sponsoring them in so many ways aside from money, which enables these groups to thrive.
Canada and Canadians have to take a lot of responsibility for deaths around the world also. We have heavily supported the IRA and Alqaida , and other groups , monitarily. Do people think our money goes to food and not explosives? We have also been a nice safe refuge for many terrorists to hide for awhile when the heat gets too much.
I also have to wonder about pouring even more money in to Africa. The Saudis have been pouring billions in to Alqaida and other places and though it bought them time, all of a sudden it isn't enough. Funny how that happens. Maybe we sould just let them solve there own problems and quit bloody meddling.
It is one murky mess , the lot of it.
