If you are suggesting that Iraq was a target of Bush for the oil, and as such, that Canada could be next, I have one question.

Why didn't Bush just head to Fort MacMurray from the get go?

Is Ft. McMurray a potentially strategic position for control of the Middle East? The tar sands do have plenty of oil, but I'm not sure how much of springboard Ft. Mack would have in the American's desire to spread their form of Democracy to the region and gain a basis for future actions in the area. Or does that desire not come into the equation as well?

How about getting back to the jest of the whole post and that being America's right to intervene in the internal affairs of another country without the support of the World Court and cooperation of the UN? How about trying to defend these actions? How do they differ from what the Nazi's and Soviets were crucified for in the past?
