"This is getting downright spooky. Who would have thunk that our two boardering neighbors would turn their backs on us in our time of need? How can anyone condemn us for protecting our own and the world from a tyrant willing to use WOMD and collude with terrorists, especially after 9/11?"

demkicker...we're too nice to these ingrates. We have fundamental problems with our diplomacy. They know we want to be loved by everyone, so we try to promote a sovereign Canada and Mexico. They take advantage of that by "dumping" on us. The harder they kick us the more the libs/state dept types grovel and grab their ankles. The soviets understood the problem...it's better to be feared than loved.

"demkicker...we're too nice to these ingrates. We have fundamental problems with our diplomacy."

You nailed it. Clearly, our neighbors (and other so-called allies) need to be taken to the wood shed over this blatant slap in our face. House cleaning is WAAAAY overdue at the State Department.
