Hard for me to know how it is as I am not American, but I do know how it affects my life in Canada. First off Many Canadians also died at 911 but Canada is not under the constant possibility of more evil like this. We do not have any troops in Iraq but we have thousands in other middle east countries such as Afganistan and I wish they did not need to be there. Regardless of the politics I wish all soldiers on all sides did not need to die to prove what is what. My wish is of a future of peace and co-operation with all and a continued good relationship with the U.S.
