Yes, I'd say you are right about the level of terrorist activity in the US vs Canada. My point in posting that article was to show that no place is "safe" from terrorists, whether Al Queda, Hizbollah, or whoever. Why do you suppose Chretien "declined to condemn" an organization that launders money, forges travel documents, steals luxury vehicles and murders people? Do you think he's afraid Hizbollah might use the information it's collected?
"Hezbollah has members in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto -- all of Canada," Mr. Al-Husseini, a member of Hezbollah's security organization, told CSIS before he was deported in 1994.
"Hezbollah wants to collect information on Canada, on life in Canada, its roads and so on, in case there's a problem with Canada." He was reportedly referring to videotapes of Canadian landmarks sent to Hezbollah.
We don't get bombed. Hence, we wouldn't feel the same level of terror as you.
People in Bali may have felt the same way. I listen to what Al Queda, Hizbollah, and the other Islamist terrorist group say, and I say that no place is necessarily "safe." |
