This too, too simple way of measuring a country is emblematic of Bush the Lame's poodle. The people who want in do so because they think they can generate more personal income for themselves. The poor will always want to get in. The reason many Americans want to get in to Canada is because they are too poor to afford the USA-style health care.

1. Jesus never offered to die for anyone. This is a myth generated by some of his early, grief-stricken followers.
2. Plenty of soldiers have died for those who were not their fellow citizens. Blair needs only to look to England's own history for proof.
