The whole reason for NORAD's existence was to defend against Soviet bombers and missiles coming over the pole. With that threat gone, why spend billions of dollars to prop up this cold war relic?

The world is at peace. Say that over and over again while clicking the heels on your ruby red slippers and you'll wake up in Kansas.

Your obsession for an antique is quaint. How's that war on terror going with the world at peace?

NORAD will *never* be obsolete because North American airspace will *always* need to be defended. Better to keep it than get ourselves caught with our pants down when the next war strikes.

Let's kill Norad and replace it with a beefed up Canadian Air Force instead.

More likely your politicians will simply defund their side of NORAD and you'll get a 'beefed up' CF that looks like this....

Upside, you can store them on a shelf instead of in a hangar. :wink:

With a Russian submarine planting a flag at the north pole, I'd suggest the answer is "No."

With the absorption of most of the former Warsaw pact members into NATO prodding Russia to ultra nationalism I would say 'Yes'. Backing a bear into a corner...
