I don't care about their "feelings", I care about their actions. If I were in Canadian leadership, I would lessen my dependence on the US. That is not my point, my point is that Obama seems not to understand the broader issue or the consequences of his words and actions. It is not the US doing what it wants while other nations do nothing. Understanding and anticipating the moves of others is critically important to leadership. Like McCain said to Obama a few times, "you don't tip your hand".
It is also interesting how liberals fail to understand that in the war against terror that we fight against an enemy that employs a strategy and is willing to change that strategy to try to win while liberal will think you have to fight the war the way we originally planned, i.e. fight in Afghanistan while the enemy is fighting in Iraq.

Seems to be a bit of an extreme conclusion, given what has been written and said on this topic by me and others. Do you really think your conclusion is a reasonable one?

It's an interesting form of self validation, notable for its circular nature.

Sorry, I did not add a P.S. here about how I am not concerned about what you folks think about me. I am more interested in what you think about the issue.
