Clinton is different. Everyone got a long with him. I think Clinton and Chretien still golf together.

Also I Bush has been in Europe for a while. I don't know if hes back or not, but maybe thats why he hasn't called back.

And, of course Canada is valuable to the US. If canada agreed to missile defence, the US can say, look, Canada signed on and everyone likes canada. So if they approve of it, it must be fine. And that works for any situation. If the US can get canada on board any of their projects, it pretty much legitimizes it.

The US is going their own way. The US has also given Canada many opportunities to be "valuable" and productive, but we keep turing them down. SO I don't blame them for getting this way. Their going in a totally different direction than Canada is.
