Sorry, K, I must've worded my post badly. There are some, particularly here in Alberta, vocal conservatives who seem to want to give carte blanche to the Americans to run our foreign policy. I don't think its the majority, let alone most, conservatives. But there is a strong undercurrent of following the Americans even into things that we don't want to get into. That's what I meant by my comments. And I'm not anti-American: I have family down there and whatnot, and I agree with many of the things they've done (I have no problem in Afghanistan.) The problem I see with some mouthpieces is that, in order to be friends and closest allies to the States, we have to support them in everything, and I disagree with that.
