I would go on and highlight other problems of your posts but why bother since you clearly feel yourself to be better than the rest of the world. Rest assured, you are not. We are all equal whether you like it or not.
However, let's start at the beginning: Americans feel they are better than anyone else on the planet. Rest assured, you are not. Because of that general attitude, 9/11 happened. Consequently that put amerikans on full alert. Thus, all of us must endure being searched, questioned, harrassed, badgered. All because Amerika thinks it is special. Sturgis wrote:

Yes, we are all equal. That includes Iraqis, doesn't it?
I just listened to Democracy Now radio broadcast. An American soldier was describing how he had to search through bodies that had been lying in streets in Fallujah for days. Most were not identifiable because of decay, dogs, maggots, etc. He seached through about 500 dead bodies to find ID's. They had no orders as to what to do with the dead, so they were piled in a warehouse. When asked how many were insurgents, he said about half. He said most did not have any weapons on them. A lot were women and children. Keep that picture in your mind tonight, Amerikans, of a child with its eyes pecked out by birds, his/her arms/legs shot off. You don't see the pictures, so it's not real. You don't hear the reports, so you can shut it out of your minds. Do you not wonder that Amerika is fighting terrorism with terrorism? This soldier said that we cannot win the war this way. He does not believe torture works; he said nothing was gained by torturing any prisoners. Only more hatred for Amerikans.
So next time you accuse someone of thinking they are better than someone else, best you look in the mirror at yourself. The Iraqis are equal (better, perhaps) than you.

Canadians should never try to act superior. It just isn't natural. Especially fake Canadians.
That last post about Canadians' thoughts on the alert system reminded me of this hilarious email I recently received
HEIGHTENED SECURITY
The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.
Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.
It's not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "shout loudly and excitedly" to "elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain, "ineffective combat operations" and "change sides".
The Germans also increased their alert state from "disdainful arrogance" to "dress in uniform and sing marching songs". They also have two higher levels: "invade a neighbour" and "lose".
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual and the only threat they worry about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
