Blaming Canada
DAVID FRUM - NATIONAL REVIEW

Mad cow disease breaks out in Canada. No, that's not a comic headline, not if you are an Alberta rancher whose livelihood depends on beef exports to the United States. Yesterday, Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman banned beef imports from Canada: In 2002, 1 million Canadian live cows and 1 billion pounds of Canadian beef were sold into the U.S. market. This is a moment when Canadians must dearly wish they had a friend in the White House, and it may be a moment to wonder why Prime Minister Jean Chretien has worked so hard over the past 18 months to alienate and offend the current occupant.http://www.nationalreview.com/frum/diary052103.asp

That was one very important reason I thought it necessary to topple Saddam, hell or high water. Whether it could be proven that Iraq possessed the weapons NOW was only marginally important, as Iraq possessed the capabilities and desire to ramp up production the minute sanctions were dropped and the world turned its attention elsewhere. As long as that regime was in power, it would be impossible to guarantee Iraq was disarmed.
