Rob, if America randomly decided to start massing our soldiers against your border (against the UN Security Council's binding resolution), moved 10,000 rockets to face you, then went in and killed 7 Canadians, then decided to kidnap two Canadians, and then decided to start firing rockets deep into the heart of Canada and hit Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver (I have no idea which is the heart), I would be very sympathetic to Canada I think. I think the world would really be sympathetic to Canada.
And the funny thing is a lot of Arab governments are sympathetic to Israel on this one since you never see the Saudis ever make an issuance like that.
