Man that picture gets me steamed, every time I see it I want to smash things. While I like Jonah's writing and read him regularly, why'd he have to use that pic of all things? This is just about the biggest insult I can imagine.

We're not the Mounties
We're handsome ,we're brave, we're strong
We're not the Mounties, cos we enforce the law
You can try to run but you can never hide
Unlike the Mounties we always get our man
We're not the Mounties
We're handsome ,we're brave, we're strong
We're not the Mounties cos we enforce the law
You can try to run but you can never hide
Unlike the Mounties we always get our man
We're handsome ,we're brave, we're strong
Cos we enforce the law
You can try to run but you can never hide
Unlike the Mounties we always get our man
Hey Jacque you're the man

I actually agree with you; it's likely many Mounties would've been happy to serve. The Canadian "leader," Chretien, and his followers are the persons to blame.

That National Review cover was indeed in rather poor taste.

Exactly. The Mounties aren't wimps. (Neither are the armed forces. Ill-equipped, yes. Wimpy, no. Remember that sniper in Afghanistan.) But it doesn't help sell magazines to put a picture of Chretien and three bureaucrats on the cover and call them wimps. That would be like putting four chickens on the cover and calling them chickens.
