How can you say that? We invaded Canada, right?

Absolutely correct.. There is a problem though...
1) Bush seriously believes that he is legally empowered to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, with absolutely no oversight.
2) Bush has a history of believing in fairy tales and trying to implement same.
3) Bush has absolutely no qualms about starting major wars based on his gut instinct. And he has no sympathy or feelings for those he causes to be killed or mutilated.
Normally, different attack plans would be derived and reviewed as a matter of course. It is a necessary thing; those with the responsibility of answereing the "What can we do?" question must have thought through all possible options. If Bush is putting these plans on the front burner, he needs to be put in a padded room and given a rubber gun to play with. Given his history, he shouldn't be anywhere near the "football".

and remember, we get a free pass
We're America. We're not bound by the standards by which lesser people are judged. For example: September 1983, USSR downs Korean Air Flight 747, killing all aboard. Act of international barbarism. July 1988, USA downs Iran Air Flight 655, killing all aboard. Regrettable accident and furthermore it was their own damn fault (some interesting background [link|http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Iran+airliner+1986+aegis+frigate&btnG=Google+Search|here]). Nuke Iran? If the President ordains it, it is right and proper. Of course, he'll still scream bloody murder if the Iranians use their new antiship missiles (based on Russian technology, and apparently to the fabled French Exocet "as an F-22 is to a Spitfire") to go turkey-shooting at such fleet assets as we may have left unwisely sitting in the Gulf.

Bush or God?
Oh wait...in some people's eyes, there's no difference.
