Pardon us for saying so.

Does it matter where Aliantha is from when this was posted? Of course not. Also not forgotten is why the ultra secret Keyhole satellite program was exposed. The United States government tried to subvert Australian elections for self serving extremist American purposes. One should not forget that history either when throwing stones.
Aliantha's comments are justified. Opinion is based in facts. Whether anyone agrees with that history is no reason to discuss 'high horses' - especially from Americans who too often have a double standard.
When it comes to having an opinion on other people, Americans - who traditionally don't even know what is happening in Mexico and Canada but have opinions - are so quick to have those opinions. One need only see how many non-Americans saw "Mission Accomplished" as wrong when over 70% of Americans had a 'big dic' syndrome. Why is the world so right and Americans so extremist as it ignore reality and promote "Freedom Fries".
Much of what Aliantha posts is justified by history such as story called "Falcon & the Snowman". And yet so many Americans like to forget that history to feel superior to the French, Germans, Turks, S Koreans, Saudis, Chileans, etc.
