While the Muslim world starts to get on side with President George W. Bush and the U.S., Canadian liberal-lefties are still discussing gay ‘marriage’ and legalizing drugs to ensure that our nation’s kids can get high on drugs more easily.

The poll found that 65 percent had a more favorable view toward the United States in the aftermath, with 75 percent saying Americans had done enough to help tsunami victims and 64 percent deeming that assistance “important.”
Among those who said they supported bin Laden, 71 percent said that American tsunami relief had made them more favorable to the United States. […]
