Yesterday, a man walked into a Canadian armed forces recruiting station in Toronto. He attacked one member of the Canadian military, first striking and then slashing his victim’s arm. He then attempted to slash another member of Canada’s military before he was subdued.<\/p>\n

Fox News has a brief article<\/em><\/a> about attack and the attacker’s day in court. It’s worth reading.<\/p>\n

Now, some tell us that US policy in the Middle East is to blame for current Islamic terrorism. Sorry, but I’m not buying that. Last time I checked, Toronto wasn’t in the US.<\/p>\n
