Sorry about the title, it was a tad disingenous on my part

Title kinda says it all. I pulled the trigger a wee bit quick, no offence meant.
I suppose I wonder what it must be like to be in the fishbowl called the
States.
It's a fact that as a giant you might step on (comparative) fleas and not even
notice. Believe me, the fleas notice.
I actual like the Sudanese reaction, in that they cut through normal lyin....
I mean, diplomacy, and said something not often heard on the world stage.

Look at what my Prime Minister said:
CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER STEPHEN HARPER

"I look forward to meeting with the president-elect so that we can continue to strengthen the special bond that exists between Canada and the United States."


Proper, diplomatic, and sure to mention the words "special bond".

Here's China:
CHINESE PRESIDENT HU JINTAO

"In a new historical era, I look forward to taking our bilateral relationship of constructive co-operation to a new level."


Proper, diplomatic, and sure to implicitly state their equality with
the U.S.

Essentially, the Sudanese are saying, either way, they will fuck us.

I'm not saying I agree with the Sudanese Gov't in any way, shape, or form.
I just appreciate that they are being brazen about their indifference to what
we (Hell, Canada is close enough) think.
