Bush rebukes Canada for not supporing the war. And if we're not with him, we're against him.
Of course they don't care about the fact that they didn't support us when we said that he shouldn't go to war, but that's not important, it seems. Of course we opposed Vietnam too.
Accordingly, we're now one of 'them'. Luckily them includes most of europe, mexico, and others. Nice club to be in.
Posted by jason at March 26, 2003 09:10 AMUmmmm... aren't you referring to the US Ambassador to Canada and his veiled threats to ruin our economy yesterday? GWB, though he's about to make his first trip to the True North (May 5th), never mentions us & doesn't know we are the US's largest trading partner...
Which reminds me... if we are their largest trading partner (@c. $1.2billion/day) and they claim that they can ruin our economy, well doesn't it just seem that we can also ruin theirs?? Tit for tat, eh.

Posted by: jason on March 26, 2003 12:20 PMJust remember, don't refer to the Bush administration as "America". They took control in a nebulous fashion, and run the administration bordering on fascism. Lovely that this administration is alienating everyone. Hopefully, when the US has verifyable democratic elections again (and becomes the world's youngest democracy), we can restore the damage done by these pirates.
Notice that Halliburton, Vice Pirate Dick Cheney's company, in which he STILL gets 1 million a year, just got the contracts to put out all the oil fires caused by this invasion.
It's pretty disgusting, really. I'm sick of it.

Phew. I guess no one's family is perfect. And mine has a bona fide Republican!
