Today I ran across two completely different views of modern day America. I doubt one can find two more different viewpoints.

The first, Open Letter to America from a Canadian" by W.R. McDougall, is a fascinating tirade. He starts out with "Your once-great nation has fallen into madness" and ends with "I can only imagine what additional horrors your shadow government might be planning". In between it's all eco-scare, class-warfare, conspiracy, Naderite diatribes. What is going on up in Canada?

The second, Confessions Of An Isolationist Wannabe" by John Hawkins, takes a slightly differing view of current events. This one is about how America is a reluctant participant in world affairs, would rather ignore the whole mess, but finds itself involved to keep the world going to hell in a hand basket.

I'm clearly much more sympathetic to the latter view - in case you wondered ;-)
