No one diminishes your country or it's contributions. We would like for all our friends and allies to think as we do, but ultimately our country must do what is right. We trust that your country will do the same. We have protests here too...they are similar in intellect and as informed as your protestors....but it is not a popularity contest.

We know that your country is one of our best allies and these posts certainly are not representative of the Australian people.
But it does get old when the typical Aussie or New Zealander posts here is so anti-American (your posts are quite refreshing).

Frankly, it appears that protests against doing the right thing are just something we in the Anglosphere will just have to get used to. Even from our own citizens.
