If this were real I wouldn't be watching the Army/Navy game on CBS right now. There'd be some special bulletin. That said, it is irresponsible and probably illegal for someone to use the CNN logo to make this appear legitimate.

Let's use common sense here. If the president of america was arrested, would it be first known to the world on cnn.com or on a live-action news report... Hmmm... :rolleyes:

Hell, I wouldn't care if it was John Kerry up there, and I hated Kerry. I'd still be on my way up to Canada right now if it was true. And you'd better believe the only people that would be moving quicker than the Army would be South Carolina's militia. Plus every member of my family, extended and all.

If any nation arrested a foreign nations head of state without the order of, say, a UN War Crimes tribunal, it would be a breach of international law. Bush would have the same kind of diplomatic immunity under (I think...) the geneva convention, as any ambasadore

If this really happened, then clearly relations between Canada and the US would be chilled to the point that all Americans would be united against Canada despite the ideological rift between American conservatives and American liberals as you would have every single American man, woman, and child demanding a US invasion of Canada.

Hell, my country's ministers would have to be very lucky if anyone would do that without a very very very very very very very very extremely good reason.

And come on people, getting arrested isn't the end of the world, besides he has diplomatic immunity. And the US spend more then any other country on military. It is an amount around half of the world's combined military spending. You don't piss them off......

In a press conference this morning, White House spokesman Jim Morrell said, "Under international law, active foreign officials and diplomats are immune from state prosecution. Given this fact – and the sheer absurdity of these illegal and dangerous allegations – we demand the immediate release of President Bush and a formal apology from Canada to all Americans."


That would be an apology to all Americans for releasing Bush, right?

Err....don't put us in that position.

If such an event actually occured, Bush wouldn't be the only guy captured. The entire Secret Service guarding him would be captured as well. And then everyone who operates Air Force One will be taken too. And the Canadians wouldn't forget the other top-level men that go around with Bush. After all, the President doesn't just takes a car ride to Canada.

But war would almost be inevitable. President Cheney (ooooh how that hurt) would almost definatly support an invasion of Canada to free Bush. And then the UN would possibly back us up considering the Canadians offered Bush a ride to their country and then just kidnapped him.

And considering how demanding the current administration is to rule other countries, it would be likely that Canada would find a change in their administration.


But not all Americans would mind that Bush was captured and tried. Not every American would pick up a gun to get back the President. Perhaps a large amount would, perhaps. But not a good amount.

We're not all like that. Just those who believe in the President and what he is doing.

For instance, I would've perhaps taken a gun to Canada if Kerry was captured by them. But not for Bush. Why? Because I wouldn't mind seeing Bush go away. I really wouldn't.

Last time I saw it it was more of a split down the middle than such one sided statistics.

Quite honestly, the people who don't agree with bush love their country just as much as people who love bush. They just don't want to see their country run this way. You really need to love your country to stand up for it. You'd need to not do anything about it and just let things happen for you to hate it. They don't hate their own country, they are just saddened by how the rest of the world looks at them and want change.

Actually, according the 2002 figures from the US Census bureau, only 1% of Americans are athiests versus 97% who do believe there is a God or other supreme being. Out of all Americans, 82% are christians.

So, of course, that must mean that 97%, or at least 82%, support Bush, his being the second coming of Christ and all. Did you have a point in what you said, or was what I responded with actually the point you were trying to make?

If so, that's a pretty stupid thing to say.

Well, Christians believe it is better to forgive then destroy, so only a few of them could be real Christians the rest are just hyppocrates that needs a religion, like those thousands of Islamic people who only cares about Gods word and not the world around them. (Not offence to them it is their choise)

As for you comment to my post:
Not for a person, but for an institution called the American Presidency. .

He is still one person, like America don't have enough leaders to find someone to replace him.....
America is not a dictatorship, yet. So people can hate the president if they want to, that is what we call free speach, but you of course want that gone as well, right? Becouse then Amerika could be famous for becoming the first western democracy that turned in to a dictatorship.

As I see it, a President is a person, nothing more and nothing less and if my leader was a war criminal, he shouldn't expect to get help from the people, but if you are willing to turn the blind eye to want your leaders does then fine, it is your choise.

I think the point that he was making is not that we would fight for one man. He means that we would fight for a man that stood as a symbol of Americans. When you have a figurehead in a democratic nation, the leader usually has limited power and is a representative of the nation.

And America would not be the first western democracy to turn to dictatorship.

We would have to go to the UN, over throw America, (and all the trigger happy americans) try to convince you Were liberating you. arrest a lot of you guys and put them in a military base turned prison, break every international law and most treatys, rack up a rediculous deficit, put out a bunch of propaganda trying to justify our actions.

But all you have to do Canada is say there are WMD's in America. THen start a war with a nationthat is a threat then halfway through attack America becuse itsa threat after having inspectors in America for a few days. Unless America doesn't let them in like Saddam, but then say its taking too long... And attack America without good evidence.
