What if it happened here?
The below fiction is food for thought:

U.S condemn Canadian attack on Gilead Maine

SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2006

GILEAD, Maine - Thousands of people rallied to this small town to protest the Canadian attack which left 18 people dead.

Protesters around the world have condemned the Canadian air strike and called on the United Nations to impose sanctions against Canada in retaliation to their outlaw action.

Meanwhile, the President issued a statement calling on the Canadian Prime Minister to justify his attack on U.S. territory. The statement goes on to say “I understand that they may have had bad intelligence and that this type of collateral damage does occur in the war on terror, so I am going to withhold judgment until all the facts are in”.

Canadian sources state that they had “rock solid” intelligence which led them to believe that the most wanted terrorist in Canada, Black Bart, was in Gilead and would be attending a meeting. When asked why they did not take this information to the U.S. Government to set up surveillance and possibly arrest Black Bart, one official stated “We had to act fast, there was no time to go to the U.S., it would have only slowed us down, and we have an obligation to protect the Canadian people from future attacks.”……

How do you think the American people would handle this if it were happening here?

And what of the ‘collateral damage’ dead, who speaks for them?

Picture your mother, father, sisters, and brothers among the dead.

When will this senseless killing come to an end?
