Yeah, but most people will be arriving by air, so the ground requirements
won't be applicable.  And those of us who have driven there know what a pain
it can be driving back to the U.S. even WITH a passport.  Try it without one
now, and you won't want to do it again.

And all kidding aside about Canada's military, they have the respect of this
U.S. Marine.  They're doing some fine work in Afghanistan.

** Clarification on the passport issue. This is from the Frequently Asked
Questions about the New Travel Document Requirements found at the link

   - *January 23, 2007* – Passports, Merchant Mariner Documents (MMDs)
   or NEXUS Air cards would be required for all *air* travel from
   within the Western Hemisphere for citizens of the United States, Canada,
   Mexico, and Bermuda.


   - *January 1, 2008* – It is anticipated that on *January 1, 2008,*
   U.S. citizens traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central
   and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by *land or sea*(including 
ferries), may be required to present a valid
   U.S. passport or other documents as determined by the Department of
   Homeland Security.  While recent legislative changes may permit a later
   deadline, both the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to
   put all requirements in place by the original deadline.  Advance notice will
   be provided to enable the public meet the land/sea border requirement.
