We slugged it out to demolish slavery.
Funny how you had to fight to get rid of it eh? Did Britain? Not really. Canada? Nope.

We bet everything to end two world wars that we did not start
Excuse me? What year did you show up in WW1? 1917? April 6th? Interesting that it was 4 days after we had taken Vimy ridge. Which, arguably, provided a clear route to Germany. Please do not say you are the ones who ended ww1. WW2? Ok, I
guess you could say that without you we would not have won. But you could say that about any country. Personally, I think Russia was a greater ally during that war then America.

More importantly we have stood against despotism, communist, fascist, islamic.
Despotism, almost every other country on the planet has too. All of NATO fought against communism. How about the allied forces fighting against fascism in WW2? You have to fight Islam? What?

While the rest of the world stood in line to make deals with Saddam Hussein, Americans felt that he was so vile and dangerous that we would be better off removing him. Do we meddle? Yes, and the reasons can get pretty complicated.
So you think the Iraq war was a good idea? Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Saddam was vile, but all evidence says he was not dangerous. Obviously that could still prove to be wrong, but I am not holding my breath.

My personal feeling is that a regime that creates refugees doesn't deserve to remain in power (that includes Mexico).
Some say that America is making refugees right now....

We make mistakes and have some bad policies, but right now America is the stablizing force in the world and I don't really like it. We deserve help and relief.
How is America the stabilising force in the world? I thought it was NATO.... Why do you deserve help and relief? Did the Rwandans not deserve relief? But hey, Clinton can't talk about genocide right?

The reason that I am a Cool American is because I love Canada and like Canadians. I don't relate to the liberal Canadian politics though.
I'm on the same page as you there, except the cool american part

However, sometimes I wonder why Canada doesn't have the same moral resolve that say perhaps, Great Britain has. Why isn't a Canadian taking leadership at the United Nations to stop nuclear proliferation?
Because no one listens to Canada. I hate to say it, but how many countries in the world are going to seriously listen to what we have to say? I could be wrong about this, but I feel that I am not.

A handful of nut cases doesn't make an insurgency, but Canada now has to make a moral decision as to whether they are going to pull their troops home in response to imminent terrorist threat or stand with us.
Pull troops home? Why would we do that? That is what they want us to do. It is not like we have zero troops here. Maybe America should pull some of those troops from Iraq and stop mexicans from coming across the border?

Are Canadians going to allow themselves to be terrorized?
Have we ever? We will deal with the situation. End of story.

I understand that the current crop of bad guys are Canadian born. And they were seeking to kill many fellow Canadians? What is that about?
They are assholes. Every country has one, hell, you're led by one.
