Ok, I'll give you another reason.
Economics. Not only will USA have access to Canadian resources, but since the US has high unemployment we will be able to create jobs trying to extract said resources. This will result in economic development and investment for what was formerly Canada. As well as population boom.

We don't need a population boom, and then by your so-called jobs that you'll create, you'll just take jobs from Canadians.

Saddam Hussien was a secular Baathist... As for other countries we've attacked. Serbia was Orthodox, Germany was Lutheran, Japan was Shinto/Buddhist. Vietnam was also Buddhist.

I'd rather those oil jobs go to immigrants from China and Columbia than Americans. Canadian jobs for Canadian people.

The religious affiliation of a given country's leadership is something that many people squawk about in US rhetoric and try to use to supplement appeals for military and diplomatic intervention against many countries, that's no lie. But it is itself insufficient to convince the general population that invading a country is sagacious or necessary. Rather, it was the emphasis on Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction and his hostility toward the US, coupled with accusations of his support of Al Qaeda, which put the final punctuation on the decision to invade Iraq. And even then, the move grew progressively unpopular. In the case of Afghanistan, the invasion was justified not by appealing to a march against Islam, but a march against a country which was harboring a terrorist organization which had recently launched a major attack on the US.

This is a complex economic and political web decades in the making, and the USA's recent international activity cannot be simply summed up as a game of "Whack a Muslim".
A social democracy following a variant of the Nordic model of the European welfare state composed of a union of Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland, Denmark, Sleswig-Holstein, and a bit of Estonia.

Afghanistan was radical fundamentalist Taliban extremists. To call them Muslims is an insult to Islam. Also the US hasn't attacked Iran, as of this writing. If we do wind up attacking them soon, then your free to say I told you so. Until then however..

It will only happen by military force, and even then you'd lose in the end

They are also very close trading partners and are culturally quite similar (except for Canadian thanksgiving being too early and them pronouncing certain words wrong, but these are quite minor). Compared to US-Mexican Relations which is compounded by issues like the Drug War and Immigration, US-Canadian relations have been very smooth for generations.

So here is my proposal. Canada and the USA should officially merge. Canada can be divided into like 5-6 new American states.
Here's my idea
Partition Plan

So what does NS think?
I think this would benefit the USA because it would give us all of Canada's significant natural resources. Also with global warming the area may become prime farmland. It would be good for Canadians too, because they would finally be US citizens and could vote for the President and join Congress.

I have a feeling that the Canadians won't like the idea.

Vietnam? Nope.

Iraq? Nope.

And you know why the Iranian embassy is closed? Because the Iranians have a history of not respecting the Vienna Convention when it comes to diplomatic spats.
