How about: Thanks for a job well done, my friends!
Alas, I'm quite sure the tone will be different. See, I've seen it happen right here on FR.
When Denmark announced it would send a submarine to help in the militray operations against Iraq, Denmrak was hailed as " a mighty giant striding across Europe, the true land of Vikings". Two WEEKS later, Denmark announced it opposed the presence of armed "sky marshals" in commercial flights. Denmark was immediately called " the land of maggots and of frigging retards".
Look at the Spanish case, too. Spain sends troops to Iraq ? Hurrah, long live Spain, the proud country of El Cid. Spain announces it will withdraw its 1,200 soldiers ? Boo, Spain, wretched land of emasculated peones.
