    I’m guessing by your instance that you’re Canadian?

    I was just a (European) kid in 2001, and I believed profoundly that Bush was evil and incompetent, but this did not extend to America as such. I didn’t understand enough of American history yet to understand that the current situation was not an anomaly. I don’t think I truly understood before after Obama.

      Yeah, when you’re neighbours, have a shared history, and consume the majority of their media, you have a better perspective.
