Second, your friends to the South, also known as damned bastards, morons and failed statesmen, have begun to realize that aiding Western countries that are in trouble does not promote friendship or solidarity but rather breeds contempt, resentment and envy from those who were in need, and although the US military is known for defending those who cannot defend themselves, I have some questions about putting American lives in danger in defense of those who are too damned stingy, greedy and self-absorbed to spend money on their own freaking national defense yet strut about on the international stage slamming the US because it isn't a social democracy.

Phew, sorry about that; sometimes I get overwhelmed by the Chretien Legacy.
