I remember back in the 80's, there was some talk about doing this sort of thing. Back then, there was a big dust up about national sovereignty that allowing such a thing to happen would lead to worse things... etc., etc. Politically, no one was willing to touch it.
Today it comes up again, and so many Americans could care less if President Bush or President Obama will station Canadian, Mexican, Russian or any other troops on our soil. What a difference a couple of decades makes.
Just last month, the issue came up again... not in the major media here.... can anyone find it on ABC, CBS, CNN, FauxNews??? Give her the ol college try fellas. Nope, you won't find it in the major media. I've looked. Even though this is the first time this sort of agreement has EVER been signed with a foreign nation in over 230 years.... barely a peep in the major media.
This agreement was signed by the President of America without the approval of Congress and without consulting or even notifying the people. Do you numb skulls really think there is not a problem with how this is happening?
When I was a younger man, I used to be amazed at the apathy and stupidity of many of our citizens. But, after 8 years of Clinton and now 8 years of a liberal leaning Republican named Bush, well, hell, nothing much surprises me any more. If you so-called men think our rapid descent into a European type Socialist country is going to somehow "workout okay", then by all means, keep your heads up your arses. You'll be safer there when the *crap* hits the fan.
