Please Don’t Protect Us

I understood Canada's decision not to take part in our missile defense system (though I'm not entirely convinced its the right decision), but irregardless of that, this seems a tad over the line.

TORONTO - 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.


If they don't want our help I guess we shouldn't give it, though it'd be a terrible tragedy to see Canada get hit while we sit by and do nothing at their request.
