Canada has always been 'there' for America. What I'm saying is that if you take an honest look at America's "needs", this is it. There are no other times. It isn't a case of, "What have you done for me lately". It is, "This is America's biggest crisis. And some of our 'closest friends' are notably not being as supportive as they should". I believe Canada is one, just like Germany, like the Saudi's, like France and a few others. I expect that a liberal element in each of these countries will dissent from our position with respect to Iraq. But I expect the respective leaderships, whether conservative, moderate or liberal, to have the vision to see that Bush's dealing with Iraq is proper and essential. If these other nations had suffered the kind of attacks we did on 9/11, I can assure you we would be totally supportive of their rights to defend themselves and would have been willing to commit resources to the effort -- regardless of whether we had liberals or conservatives in power at the time.

"... and some fools even voluntarily went to Vietnam." I don't recall any Canadian POW's being tortured by the CUBANS as were our boys. Edit: I just received a PM. The answer is yes! Some of our Vietnam POW's were tortured by Castro's Cubans.

Canada has always been 'there' for America. The U.S. has no closer relationship with any other country than it does with Canada. Things do not always look perfect historically as hindsight is 20/20. There has to be some give and take between both nations. What he is saying is that the you should follow regardless of how smelly the mission...and you should not have a direction that differs from ours, even when, well, you do. Just keep it to yourself and send'em troops and war what_nots to the address of Uncle Sam's choice. And for Chris' sake, don't call the chief a moron. Al
