Well as for the military, gee..... who the fuck besides the US is going to even think about invading Canada? Nor is Canada a warmongering country like the US.

Want to say we're not war mongers then name two continuous decades since 1840 we have not been in a war. In fact, just name a 15 year period, or a 10.
-1840's - 50's Mexican Wars
-1860's - Civil War
-1870's - 1880's maybe if you don't count the war with the Indians.
-1900's - Spanish-American,
-1910's WWI,
-1920's and 30's sent a lot of men over to the Spanish Revolution (unofficially of course), (1920's and '30's maybe but we were in a depression and crime ran rampant.)
-1940's WWII,
-1950's Korea
-1960's-70's Vietnam
-1980's Lebanon, Grenada (even....lol)
-1990's parts of Africa, Bosnia, Desert Storm,
and this decade Iraq

Then we even have "wars" on other fronts...... "War on crime", "War on Drugs", 'War on Terror", "War on Poverty", "War on Racism", "War on Illiteracy","Cold War"....... we love to use the word "WAR"...... and according to the Right, we are a Christian nation, founded on Christian beliefs, but we look to "war" somehow..... we have spilt more blood (our own and others) in 230 years than most nations combined in that amount of time.

And out of those "Wars" on the homefront we have lost every single one of them except the "Cold War" and even that is debateable as only history will tell.

If things get much worse here, I've said it before I'd move to Canada. The only things stopping me right now is the weather (I think Ohio is cold.... brrrrrrrrr to Canada) my career and family. And I have a feeling I would make more of an impact in Canada and get better respect in my career than in the US, as the Right keeps pouring more and more funding into military and fucks the infrastrure (education, healthcare, social services) over.

The Canadian government also would probably keep their word and fix the levies in NO and get those people living in tents houses..... ah but the cameras are gone and so is Bush and his promises of money to help them rebuild..... he has a "War" and Haliburton to pay for.

BTW, noone dubbed us the "World Police", we took that position upon ourselves. And we sold the fuck out of Czechloslavakia, Poland, Romania, when they begged us for help we turned our backs and gave the USSR those countries, but we went on in to Korea and Vietnam without either country asking us to.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
