This is all so confusing. It's almost as if the question isn't "why do they hate us?--that is, what did we do wrong?" Perhaps we really should just ask "why do they hate?" Tip to Instapundit.
UPDATE: Thank goodness the Canadians caught them. This being Earth Day, I'm sure that the media would have speculated endlessly on the Green terrorist threat because of the stunning coincidence.
Good work on stopping the nutballs. More from Canadian media:
The RCMP says it has thwarted a terrorism plot to derail a VIA passenger train bound on an undisclosed route with support from Al Qaeda in Iran, police announced Monday.
As part of a co-ordinated effort between the national police force, local police in Toronto and Montreal and the FBI, two men were arrested Monday as part of “Project Smooth,” police announced at a news conference.
Raed Jaser, 35, of Toronto, and Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, both face terrorism-related charges for allegedly conspiring to carry out an “Al Qaeda-supported attack,” said the RCMP’s assistant commissioner, James Malizia.
Bonus points for noting that Iran--which has long provided sanctuary to al Qaeda--is named.
