There are similar sentiments in Canada concerning Bush also. The Bush adminisration didn't like it at all that Canada initially passed on military involvement in Iraq. (Passed on by the numbers the U.S wanted, Canada has troops in Iraq, Afganistan and Kosovo). The issue of sending troops to Iraq was debated in parliament and found that the so-called proof was shaky at best: hence no major involvement.

Then Paul Cellucci, the U.S ambassador to Canada gave several scathing speeches pretty much accusing Canada of turning it's back on America. Insulting to say the least. We are polite people. We like to be asked rather than being told what to do. We are proud people, not puppets.

As far as Bush goes. I don't think he has a clue as to how his foreign policy decisions are changing the world for the worse, not better. But that isn't totally his fault, a lot has to do with the agendas of those who are advising him.

I really don't want to criticize Bush and classify him as some sort of an idiot, but I have to wonder at times if he fully realizes exactly the depth and circumstance as to his actions, or inactions concerning what he perceives as making the world a better place by his standards.

Personally as President, I think he is out of his league on a world stage.
