The “Open Letter to America from a Canadian” has already made its rounds on other blogs, but I feel it’s thought-provoking enough to add as well. Although some of it sounds like the screed of a paranoid conspiracy theorist, there are some valid points. A good analogy is made by Wil Wheaton, who compares his knee-jerk denial during a personal experience to the response some will feel after reading this letter. Although the article cannot be taken entirely at face value, some thought should be given to how the United States’ policies and leaders would look to an external, objective observer (which the writer of this article isn’t necessarily, IMHO).
