Dear Mr. Cornwell, Your unique attachments to the US, UK and Canada may allow you to answer a question unrelated to your books, but I have always enjoyed your glimpses into the military mind and the cultures mentioned above. Why is the US so furious with Canada? The United States were three years late fighting Germany in both world wars and both German governments posed a much greater threat to the world than Saddam Hussein. Canada loses soldiers constantly in Afghanistan, yet took the UN side as to intervention in Iraq. We joined the UN in Korea, the middle east and Cyprus. Keith Urban kicked out Canadian ticket holders at a US concert because we wouldn’t send troops to attack a country to destroy weapons of mass destruction which were never found, yet we were praised for taking hundred of American citizens into our homes when planes were diverted to Canadian airfields on Sept. 11th. We chose to go into Afghanistan as a result of terrorism, but this joint mission is forgotten in the media and the minds of most Americans. Do you mind a question that has nothing to do with your excellent books? I hope your bulletin board is an appropriate place to ask “WHY”? Paul Higgins
