Dear all (esp Andrew, Jim Cohen),

What kinds of ramifications would it have on Canada's immigration policies? Esp when
war breaks out...

anything noteworthy from the lasr gulf war?

I don't think any reasonable person could blame Canada for the fact that terrorists
came across that border. US borders are notoriously difficult, north and south, to
monitor, being that we are free nations. It is not the time to start picking on each
other- chalk it up to nerves. Most of us thank God that we have Canada as a neighbor.

What is more serious than "bombing" Afghanistan is examining these so-called
terrorist cells in our countries. The people who live in our midst, their children in
our schools - the "sleepers" just waiting to go off like time bombs. bin laden is
just one man - we must find the network and get rid of it. This does not require WAR,
just intelligence (worldwide), cooperation and determination. It is time to separate
the good Muslim from the bad - and yes, we need their help too. Just as earlier
immigrants had to send their sons off to war, Arab immigrants can prove their loyalty
by fighting this new effort against terrorism. If, as they say, the Koran does not
support terrorism then they will have no difficulty placing their loyalty with those
against terrorism.

How about crossing the border guys?..Any ramifications for landed immigrants and
citizens who regularly drive across the border between the the US and Canada
regularly?

I dont see any problem in going through the border. If one has a criminal record,
then the individual should be scared. Landed, citizen, whats the difference, show ur
paper and drive through. Its still USA, country of immigrants.!! "anonymous11"
