Are you saying that Canada left the British Empire before the U.S.? Becuase they didn't leave till the 1790's I believe.
As for other terrorists, the only ones I can think of attacking us our the ones inside of our own country. Now I'm not saying that America isn't full of false patriots and are ignorant, but give us one reason why we should care about any other nation but our own? It's not like you Canadians care about other nations. Ten dollars says most of you Canadians [that aren't Dominican] would be able to name the President of the Dominican Republic.
