I'm wondering a lot what is the position of Paul Martin regarding foreign policy, I've read in the newspaper that he wants better military (I agree), that sometimes countries must act without UN approval (he cites Rwanda, i agree with him, but i just hope he does not go too far, for example Iraq).. and a real change in the relationship between the US in Canada (thats ok with me, as long as its not a relationship which is too warm and we do the same as the US does, if it means a relationship where we try to moderate US positions and we accept compromise on some issues, thats perfect for me)...

I guess a wait and see approach is the best thing to see what will happen...

I think he's interested in stronger ties to the US, hence missle defence and a better military capacity as you stated. You are correctly concerned about him taking it too far though. I think he is probably shrewd enough to avoid the perception of that, but reality may be another matter.

I am not to comfortable with Paul Martin
stand at the moment. Sounds like to close ties with the USA.

Just wanted to say goodbye to codco. It was good to have someone who shared many of the same views as I did. I am going to miss this forum. I enjoyed our discussions and being pushed to do more research. I hope they have more
forums like this one.
