To the person that said it obviously fake I disagree completely obviously it'd be happening now because if the significance of this anniversary.
I think the 9/11 hijackers were the cream de la cream of the bad guys and I also think they got really lucky. The powers that are responsible for security in the country were asleep at the switch for sure. Their ranks have been decimated their leaders have been killed and what's left seem to be no more than a rabble. That does no mean though that we do not need to be extremely vigilant and watchful. They would still attack us and hurt us in any and every way they can. There are all kinds of places around the globe hatching out the next generation of these criminals.

AS per your comment about a "real enemy". A real enemy would be running ops on us every day not once per decade.

I have a very different solution, involving deportation/and mass profiling of a certain religion and middle eastern demographic but some would consider that "racist."

Remember anyone who's not Muslim is a infidel and must be terminated.

It boggles the mind that we are still allowing Muslims from Pakistan and Iran into the country. As you say folks would consider the very rational action you suggest as racist.

Oh well at least two black guys in this country don't think so.

So...yeah...

If our enemies don't come up with an incident this weekend our "friends" will. Without terrorism a whole lot of government contracts disappear and that would be bad for the supliers of machines and manpower.

We have tens of thousands of these people in our country. I have nown and done business with many of them. My next door neighbour is a Pakistani immigrant. All I can say is these people seem to me to be excellent people. In fact I'll go out on a limb here and say that in my experience they are more polite, more law abiding, harder working, Far more moral, family oriented, well educated, than the majority of Canadians I meet that were born here and who's families have been here for generations.

Your comment is racist, ignorant, xenophobic and all to common among Americans.

In the history of Canada, do you know what group has caused the most security problems? In fact they have more than once staged an armed rebellion against the state.

The Irish.

There was never any thought about getting rid of them, preventing them from coming to the country, discriminating against them. I wonder why?
Could it be that they were white Europeans and that fact covers a multitude of sins?
