McCain himself in his book states it was entirely his poor judgment that got him shot down. Chuck's statement is completely true and accurate. Though you may not see many Canadians in the BS undeclared wars (which simply shows intelligence not cowardice) of the last 60 years, they have shown themselves quite capable when threats are real.

  A famous Canadian historian, John Bartlet Brebner , pretty much sums it up.
  
  "Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States."

      Oh, I know that. I travelled the US quite extensively in my youth.
      
      Great country, great people.
      
      It’s been a while since I visited, but I remember that anyone would be hard pressed to find a nicer, more generous bunch of people. The problem is that lately, since the arrival of Bush and his ilk on the political scene, it seems that if you get more than two or three of them together at a time and discuss politics, religion or anything that smacks of socialism, their IQs drop about 50 points.
      
      It’s time to get rid of the bible addled morons and step into the twenty-first century. Time to start spending your tax dollars on treating your citizens like family instead of on more ingenious ways to kill poor people of colour on the other side of the world.
      
      Take a chance on Obama. Anything would be better than the republicans.
