The U.S. has no desire for global conquest. If this were so Canada would have long ago become the 51st state . It is just as likely that Canada is a nation that refuses to take responsibility for itself because of its own lack of self-confidence and unique identity. It is just as likely that Canada lacks international standing because anyone with a sliver of creativity and self-worth has long since left for New York. I reject all of these false characterizations.

And why aren't there countries that threaten Canada? Is it because we've entered a new age of peace, love, and understanding? Is it because all countries, except the U.S., have peaceful intentions? NO. The rogue states (Iran and North Korea, for example) are fearful of the consequences of aggressive action. And what would be the consequences, and who has the power to impose them? Like I said before, the world is not a vacuum.

When another genocidal force arises on the world stage and threatens us all, who will the West look to? You know and I know. One thing I am sure of, it won't be Canada.

(As an aside, you are wrong about Iran. They are becoming less, not more, democratic. The situation with Iran acquiring Nuclear weapons is quickly coming to a head. The negotiations with the Europeans has failed. Will Canada step in and stop them or will she continue to sit on the sidelines?)
