Whoever submitted this link put it fantastically. They wrote: 'The 5 Most Unthankful Nations To The US - all this wisdom in a 17 year old conservative. - A really good argument that our school system is failing our youth.'

Canada leads off Ryan Thompson's list. Among other things, he says that the 9/11 terrorists entered the country through Canada, as if many of them weren't legal students from Saudi Arabia. He also seems to think that the Canadians should be thankful that we haven't militarized the border. There's also something about the economy collapsing if we ignored Canada, but to tell you the truth, I was already starting to space out when I reached that section.

The remaining countries on the list are France, Germany, Mexico, and South Korea. Unfortunately, Ryan doesn't bring up any real points, and has obviously never studied foreign policy or history other than listening to Rush Limbaugh. Demanding that they bow down to America as a colonial power to assuage our tattered egos and make us feel better about ourselves is not what we need to be doing right now. Perhaps if we elected leaders worthy of respect and treated our allies as allies, these countries would show us the respect that Mr. Thompson seems to think is due us.

We don't need traditional support right now, Ryan Thompson. We need our allies to truthful with us. It's the only way we'll be able to figure out what we need to do to fix things. If that means that they have to disagree with our policies, so be it.
