Stole it from the Indians (and gave them that awful name, too). In Canada
the French stole it fom the Indians, and then had the brits steal it from
them (who went on to steal the rest of it from the Indians). Oh, and who's
self-proclaimed hero is Joe Steel?

And apparently re-written in Canada: Arnold was not liked by the British.
Who likes a traitor, especially one that acted out of such petty reasons?
If you are right and I'm wrong (Arnold is a hero to the brits) than I'm
afraid that reflects badly on the brits, not us. :-)

Throw enough against the wall and hope that some of it sticks. Bush changes
his tune every week.

Japan certainly hasn't, so I don't expect Iraq to do so.
