Axworthy Article

I'm quite neutral on this topic actually. We need to be a sovereign state in all cases, but the missile defence system would be a simple extension of NORAD, no??? In that case i have no problem with it.

But if what Mr. Axworthy writes is true in the case where our military would be completely interoperable and dependent on the US, then my answer is a reolute no. At long as our dependencies to the US stays the same, i don't have any problem with the anti-missile defence system.

I DO have a problem with the fact that the ABM treaty was scraped to make way for this anti-missile system. Maybe we should simply refuse because of this (we are not the kind of country to scrap treaties...).
