Believe me, Mitch, I'm not saying the decision is sound. Given Canada's NATO membership, and given the history of militray cooperation between Canada and the United States, I'd say this decision is far from being sound.
My point is that one cannot accuse Canada of having engaged into a "deliberate act of war" because of its decision not to fund the missile shield.
As for encouraging Canada to break up, I can only say for myself that it's something we haven't done since the last 40 years ! LOL. You'll find more partisans of the break-up here, I suppose, as well as a few "invasionnists".
As for the "40 years", and I wouldn't at all be surprised if this never got any mention over there, after the last separation debate (that Chretien almost bungled completely) it emerged that Quebec Premier Bouchard had a deal with France to immediately recognize Quebec's independance had the separatist side won the vote. Can't recall who was in charge in Paris at the time.
