Friendship is a two-way street, and America doesn't have an obligation to remain friendly to ANYBODY when they tell us to "piss up a rope."

Not cooperating or not going along with the US? It seems the only time the US has an issue is when a country decides to make up their own minds and soemthing that the people of the country wants, then they take issue with it and decide to do things their way. When has the US tried to remain friendly with a nation? Also when did Canada say "go piss up a rope"? All Canada said was no thank you, we don't want to participate in your missle defence program, which is what the people of this country wanted. I mean whats the big deal with a country making up it's own mind, or is this not allowed in the worlds present political environment.
