I find it a bit strange that when a refugee shows up at our borders, there are plenty of Canadians fearful enough to believe that it MIGHT be a terrorist seeking to come here and do evil things... but it doesn't occur to them that it might be someone who is fleeing the same violence that we're so afraid will come here.

Is it THAT difficult to believe that there are people in other parts of the world who don't want to be killed in a terrorist bombing?  Is it because their skin colour is different or their religion is different that you assume they like violence more than you do?  Think about that for a minute.... actually think about that for several hours.  Why do some Canadians believe that different equals dangerous?
