question: Does the Bush administration understand what it has done to its allies? I'd be interested in hearing comments from the Brits, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a vote of no confidence in Parliament over this, and much as Bush perceived Canada to be hanging back, Chretien has probably also been somewhat damaged by giving the US the support he did. Canadians are very very sensitive on the subject of the US invading countries because it feels like it....
