Americans are not our "best friends"

I didn't like Dhaliwal's statement at all. He was basically saying:

"We didn't support you because we didn't like the way you asked."

This is fine in elementary school, but between government officials? I worry that we make our decisions based on whether we like how they were presented, not on the content or substance of the issues at hand.

Plus, it wasn't statesman like of our ambassador (Chretien Jr.) to announce that our government wanted Gore to win the presidency. This is just plain foolish because you don't know who is going to win and your job is to work with either one - Gore or Bush.

Why didn't Dhaliwhal say that Chretien Jr. wasn't very "ambassadorial" when Raymond said what he said?

Do only American politicians have to be statesmen?

Don't translate for others. He said what he said; not a big deal.
Bush was not asking he was demanding, bribing, and threatening, He was putting himself and the Americans Above
all other countries or the UN.
Ambassador Chretien should not have spoken out but Cellucci the American ambassador has done much more meddling and mouthing off in Canadian affairs .
No one claims the US president or our politicians have to be statesmen to be successful but if they are looking for support it is best they remember you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Bush is very arrogant and pushy
