Begs to ask the question, is BMD a viable solution? Like the early Patriot system of the US? The patriot system didn't work...a suceesful launch was not a direct hit, but rather when the interceptor fired from the patrio crossed the pat of the missle, the ods of the patriot making contact were between 0-11% and that's only because mathematiclly it's not impossible. In realty they've never had a direct hit

If he did you can't blame him....Yesterday (July 16th) Bush met with the Polish President and they've decided to put an american missel defense system in the Poland. Guess where it's pointing. Russia isn't the pushover it was in the mid 90s. There's alot of national pride there and biterness reminas towards the west. Look out for Putin's successor, especially if it's Ivanov.

I don't remember harper saying that he wanted to stop trade with China.. lol.. What on earth made you spin that. It's not ending trade, it was refusal to negotiate and bring more in, not a spin, fact.

Prime Minister harper is in Colombia Today where he is wooing poetential trade partners. Earlier in the year, as well as in previous years the United States opted out of trading with Colombia due to their constant violations of human rights. Last year (or the year before?) Harper refused to talk trade with China at the Pacific Rim Sumit as he felt they did not focus on Human Rights enough. Why would Harper be so thick as to deny Canada trade with China, the emerginig economic and military superpower of the world, and instead go ahead with Colombia which has very little to offer Canada in terms of trade?
