Oh, yeah, I forgot that Canda's a neighbor and that Bush's legitimacy is
questionable at best. In excuse of my poor memory, though, I should note
that it wouldn't be funny in the least if some right-winger said that
Vietnam's expulsion of the Khmer Rouge from Cambodia would be akin to the US
invading Canada and forcibly evicting the Liberal party from power.
