This post has gotten the replies that I assumed would show up. While it was total fiction it does express the opinion of many people in the United States. I am surprised that so many people question the ability of the U.S. to adopt an isolationist approach to foreign policy. It will never happen but I most definitely disagree with those who think this nation is incapable of being self-sustaining. I believe we could do this very easilly and I believe it would effect others more than it would us. I believe that many people in this nation felt totally crapped upon by people who we felt were friends - Don't give me the crap that Canada is an independent nation with a right to do as they please - no one has questioned that right. What we have questioned is friendship. If the situation was reversed and Canada had relied upon the friendship of the United States and we had told them that - Gee guys! You know we are your friend and all that but we think we'll just sit this one out! Eh? Oh yeah! and if we happen to catch the guys you're after we'll decide what we are going to do with them - we definitely aren't going to give them to you. But we are you friends! Right? We'll just hum a couple of verses of No Canada!
