There have been a few isolated incidents in Asia where they believe that the bird flu has been transmitted bird to person to person. This shit creeps me out.
Glorified Ape said:Not at all. The point I was trying to make (maybe I should have been clearer) was that we're nowhere near innocent in the entire affair and while we can't be expected to just say "okay, do what you will", we do need to stop behaving as though we've had no hand in what has been dealt to us.
To get back to the topic at hand: interesting that of that "list of 5", we're the only ones that haven't suffered an attack. I'm not implying anything, it's just curious.

Was the third country Spain?
scm77 said:What debate? I didn't realise there was any debating about who attacked us on 9/11.
Not sure about Britain, but Australia was targeted with the Bali bombings in nightclub(s?) killed over 200 most of them Australian tourists, also one of their embassys was bombed, in I think (but may be wrong) Indonesia.

Stirling N6123 said:Personally, I do not think that Canada is at a much higher risk of attack than anybody else. Why would a terrorist group attack a Canadian target, when they can take an extra 45 minute drive south and attack Americans. If they have spent years getting a plan together, why not take an extra few days, drive south, and hurt your real enemy?
I firmly believe they are among us, providing support at various levels. Whether it be cash, communications, intelligence. They are here, and they are busy.
Canada being a multi cultural country, every population on earth is represented in our cities, towns and neighbourhoods. As for an overseas group wanting to conduct an attack against one of its enemies, in Canada, that could certainly happen. History has shown that the Canadian way of doing things can provide a rich environment for organizations to attack it's enemy within our boarders. Look at the Air India bombing, or the Turkish embassy incident March 12th 1995. Terrorist attacks can and will happen here, but to have them directed at Canadians in General is something I don't feel will happen. If they really wanted too, I think terrorist's already would have.
daniel h. said:Us? Canada wasn't attacked on September 11th. There are a number of theories as to the accuracy of the official story, similar to the JFK situation, but seeing as this site doesn't like discussing things that can't be proven clearly I can't get into it. There was no criminal investigation, only the televised inquiry. Google on your own time.

Last good example of terrorism in Canada was Canadian--much as the Timothy McVeigh issue was a U.S. domestic issue:
I just don't know if I like the premise. Life is risky. Terrorist attacks kill very small numbers of people and rarely happen--especially in Canada. A good way to sistract people from bigger threats like everything else.
