American foreign policy in a nutshell:
1) The United States of America treats it's declared enemys like crap.
2) Our declared enemies don't like that.
3) Numbers 1 and 2 will never change.

We will never treat all nations, groups, and interests with equality because the vast majority of these nations, groups or interests are our gleeful allies on many issues, and the others are not.

Are you asking me to trust Pakistan as much as Canada?
No. Canada has EARNED our trust, Pakistan hasn't

Are you asking me to trust Saudi as much as the UK?
No. The good people accross the pond have done all the right things.

Are you asking me to trust Yemen as much as Mexico ?
No. Mexico is there for us, on our side, and Yemen, well they just aren't. furthermore this "equal foreign policy" thing is an argument to convince us to treat our declared enemies like allies, and our allies like declared enemies.

Bottom line? If you want to be treated like Canada by the united states, act like Canada.
