Nnnnnnnn…. *puke*
Ooo-kay. I wasn't aware that Canada wasn't "fighting terrorism" in either meaning of the phrase. (The first meaning is actually fighting terrorism, of course, and the second meaning is "go along with crackpot ideas that the USA comes up with that don't actually reduce terrorism." Canada had the good sense to not take the radioactive potato that was "joining" the coalition of the unlawful that did the aggressive war against Iraq, but has been engaged, sporadically, in doing really stupid things at the request of the United States .) But that's not the thing that caused my eyebrows to go orbital.
No.
Further down in this AP article it mentions where Clinton made this request. It was at a (gag) "motivational" conference in Toronto. And if that's not enough to cause the bile to rise and flow forth like a raging torrent, the motivational conference was called "The Power Within" and people paid US$335 to US$1100 to hear this speech.
Sure, sure, Clinton was a good president who managed to keep the United States afloat for eight years despite the drunken-sailor habits of the Evil Party, but this new tradition of a president leaving office only to become some sort of speechifying rent boy is undignified and unworthy of a person who was president of the United States.
Excuse me, I think I need to go and clean my eyes with a wirebrush now.
