It's Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission
Use your head, Chester:
A day after opting out of the U.S. ballistic missile defense shield, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin reiterated Friday that Washington must get permission from Ottawa before firing on any incoming missiles over Canada.
"This is our airspace, we're a sovereign nation, and you don't intrude on a sovereign nation's airspace without seeking permission," Martin said.
Funny that Martin doesn't chastise nations who would dare conceive of firing nuclear missiles over the sovereign nation of Canada to attack the United States.
I trust our government will do the right thing and destroy such missiles if possible and risking a Canadian retaliation of combustible submarines blockading the St. Lawerence Seaway.
