The Sky's The Limit

U.S. Ambassador Paul Celluci says that in rejecting the Bush Administration's Ballistic Missile Defence plan, Canada has relinquished its sovereignty over its airspace.

Of course Celluci relinquished sovereignty over the airspace between his ears a long time ago, but still, I'm sure that the U.S. military can handle Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and vigilantly patrol a region that stretches from the 49th parallell to the Arctic Circle.

Isn't the most important thing about a show of force having someone around to see it?

I love this logic. Presumably Celluci is saying that in the event of a nuclear missile heading towards the U.S. over Canada, if Canada joined in, the U.S. would wait until the missile was over the U.S. before shooting it down. Why do I seriously doubt this?

Ya see Bear, you do have readers!

Without missile defence, some alliance of nations, through the use of submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM's), might try to trigger a "mutual assured destruction" nuclear war between North America and another nation.
