Blame Canada
No wonder people are fleeing north across the border. The Canadians said no to the useless missile defense system. Not content to be hated by most of the world, the Bush administration gave a hearty "Screw you," in response. U.S. ambassador Paul Cellucci had these words of comfort for our neighbors to the north.
“We simply cannot understand why Canada would in effect give up its sovereignty – its seat at the table – to decide what to do about a missile that might be coming towards Canada.”
Hmm. Who said anything about Canada giving up its sovereignty? As Bush said, you're either with us or against us.
