Quote:Not that I want to go tit-for-tat on criticism. But, let's just see if the people that criticize my country are living in a country that has a history that is above reproach.
yeah like for instance if you're in france, we can say "oh well no wonder they don't like war crimes, they're french..." and threaten a few of your former citizens living here.
and if you're in iraq, we can explain that we're helping you, and why are you so ungrateful?
and if you're in japan, we don't have to listen, we can just bomb you.
and if you're in saudi arabia, you can bend our ear with some extra money, (like you do...)
if you're in haiti, we can call you a rebel and put the guy that listens to us in charge by assisting the police loyal to him.
if you're in cuba, we can dismiss your criticism as communist rhetoric.
if you're british, well, we left for a reason! thank god that tony blair and john howard are real americans, unlike those other brits and aussies...
if you're (honestly) from afghanistan, fantastic, you just helped us find the one section of power grid we haven't knocked down.
if you're in iran, no problem, we'll be right over to settle the argument.
and if you're from mexico, PLEASE GO AWAY!
so you see, if you're going to go around criticising other countries, just let us know where you're from, and how much oil you've got. we'll talk.
that's what friends are for!
