I don't dislike Canadians but I can't stand their weak minded liberals......it stands to reason from a govt that has never had to make a life and death decision on world matters......too bad the U.S. can't afford to be so idealistic......we have a planet to save, not just a hockey season

I think that we ought to assure the Canadians publicly that, in accord with their wishes, we will not use our antimissile technology to protect them.

Then let's stop work on a missile interceptor and come up with that great big deflector shield thingee that will cause missiles to veer north. Duck and cover!

[Patti_ORiley]

The Canadians know they are safe from terrorist missile attacks. No terrorist is going to attack one of their main staging points.

[vbmoneyspender]

the dope says nope.

[MCRD]

Anyone living in the U.S. that knowingly buys a Canadian product is a traitor.

Instead of a missile shield, we should deploy a Strategic Missile Pinball Bumper system that wont kill the missiles, merely deflect them into Canada.

Quite an insane calculation, by a nation of fewer people than California, spread out 3,500 miles.

Such nation in the direct line of polar route fire, between long time enemies Soviet Union (Russia), China and the USA.

Canada has to be presuming that: a) Future conflict never occurs over their soil, or b) The USA will protect them in spite of their calculations, or c) That the rivals will spare Canada because they are s peaceful and helpful and polite etc.

A calculation to NOT align oneself with the most powerful nation on earth. A calculation to be effectively an obstacle to the most powerful nation on earth, so far as defending itself.

Very weakminded logic and math basis.

Throw a cask of Amantillado over the border, and then wall 'em up.

Maybe the Canadian Prime Minister would have said "yes", if there was just one successful test with the system. It even failed in unrealistic scenarios with gps-transmitting missiles to be intercepted.

When will it work or will it ever work? That's the important questions.

Canada rapidly dropping to the rank of a third world country. Take away jobs that America gives them and they are done.

Don't worry! Our engineers are highly intelligent and well trained. They will be able to program our interceptors so the ignore and missiles headed farther north. After all we would not want to waste any of the precious defense missile on people that don't really like us, would we?
