A terrorist plot thwarted in Canada? Do you really know your facts? The so-called "terrorists" in Canada were found to have no expertise at all in wiring and detonating explosives. They were recruited by the man who later turned state-evidence against them. One has to ask just how reliable is that state-evidence guy? And hard-nosed reporters were leery of the case from the get-go. The whole damned thing looked so very suspicious that some folks have inferred that it was set up by the authorities to send a message to would-be terrorists that the government is ever alert and watchful. However, to be sure, that exercise gave Canada not a little credit in the fight against terror. It was so very ironical and funny! .

>><Finally, show me any credible source whether there is ANY place ANYWHERE in the world that is more dangerous than Dumbya's Baghdad.> How about Beirut ? How many people are killed in this country everyday compared to Iraq ? This showdown with the Islamic facists has been brewing for almost 60 years. What you see in Baghdad is only one of the fronts in this war.<< Sdgla - Was that supposed to be an example from a credible source of some kind of evidence of something? Comparing the number of deaths each day in a country of nearly 300 million people with those in a sparsely populated nation the size of California? You didn't even bother to look up the number of deaths in the U.S. Well here are some facts for you. In the past week, according to the U.S. military, there was an average of more than 25 violent attacks on both civilians and military personnel in Baghdad. More than 6,000 Iraqis have been killed as the result of violence in the past two months. In the U.S., we have approximately 50,000 deaths from violence each year. (That number includes suicides, which actually make up the majority - 60% - of those deaths. More people kill themselves than are murdered.) So there are roughly 20,000 murders in the U.S. annually. If the Iraqi death toll for the past two months were to be extrapolated to a full year, that would be 36,000 violent deaths. We're not counting suicides there, nor the deaths of American or MNF troops. Just every day deaths from bombs, guns and beheadings. Considering that Iraq's population is less than a tenth of ours, we can see that Iraq is a far more dangerous place than the U.S. Beirut isn't even in the running. By the way, what's happening in Baghdad right now is for the most part not a showdown between Islamic fascists and us. It's a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites who are locked in a power struggle for supremacy within the power vacuum created by our invasion. It's a showdown between Islamic fascists. - Allen
