Good ol Mr. Colin Powell....

"The Canadian anthem has been booed at and disrespected far more in the U.S. by drunk fans than any amount of Quebecers can make up for."

So this justifies things? I've attended quite a few sport events, and while I have witnessed a fight between a marine and civilian because the latter would not remove his hat during the music, I have never once seen anyone boo the anthem of any country, US or otherwise.

"As for naming the countries that fought in wars with little or nothing to gain, here they are in no particular order: Canada, Australia and New Zealand. They fought because all their allies were fighting, not because they had to."

And what wars were these, pray tell? Notice I didn't mention the World War 1 or 2, or any war which the US was bound to serve due to treaty or agreement. I can almost guarantee any wars you mention involving those three will.
