Yea that MIGHT be a valid excuse if the driver was a a cabbie driving some couple through the streets of NY at night, after having laser eye surgery.
This is the driver for a Canadian ambassador in a WAR ZONE. If you're driver isnt alert enough to see a freaking American soldier (they are hard to miss - they be the ones with the guns and camo) giving you the UNIVERSAL SYMBOL TO STOP - then you need to review your hiring practices.

If the GREEN ZONE hadnt had carbombs go off in it - I MIGHT take what these folks say seriously. But we all know thats not true. So this "oh but its a safe zone" rhetoric is nonsense - as if rules are abolished because its designated "A-OK".

Yawn - start another thread if you want to wax on about the "state of Iraq" - posting that link is nothing more than flogging your junk at a Senior citizen center - one really shouldnt be involved with the other.
Its just pretty pathetic the state of mind a Bush-Basher has to be in to completely convince themselves that situations like these are somehow due to pent up frustrations, or some social defect on the part of American soldiers. Mind boggling.
