TheStar.com - Coming to aid of 'family' a myth The idea that the U.S. would rush to save us is touching. The reality is less comforting, says historian James Laxer
When U.S. ambassador Paul Cellucci said that his country was disappointed because Canada was not at America's side in the Iraq war, he claimed that if Canada faced a security threat "there would be no debate. There would be no hesitation. We would be there for Canada."
That's the way things ought to be when you're dealing with "family," the ambassador told a Toronto business audience.
The idea that the United States would rush to our side is touching.
The only problem is that there has not been a single case to which anyone can point when the U.S. has come to our side to meet a security threat to Canada since the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence in 1776.------------------------------------------- posted 12:50 PM :: reference link ::
