Yes, we've had our differences and our difficulties. There are trade disputes. Any trade relationship as big as our relationship with Canada is going to have those disputes. But as I said when I was there in Ottawa, I would hope that the rhetoric and the tone of U.S.-Canada relations would be befitting good friends and good neighbors, and I look forward to that tone in U.S.-Canada relations.
We also have excellent cooperation with Canada in many of our international policies. Canada is a major actor in Afghanistan, has been active in Sudan with us, and in Iraq it's perhaps not understood that shortly after the war, where Canada did not agree with the decision to go to war, Canada was one of the first and largest donors to Iraq. So we have an excellent relationship and I think it will continue.

* 5% about the general election (and change in goverment) in the northern neighbour;
* 80% about the mideast, the 51st state (Israel) and the like;
* 10% about relations with Mexico, the southern neighbour and source of cheap labour;
* 5% about undefined future political aspirations.
Is this all there is to talk about?
Is there something I'm missing here?

The first Iraq-US war ended with a significant destruction of Iraqi infrastructure, including solely civilian installations such as water treatment, and multiple use installations such as power stations and critial power grid points. <br />
<br />
The second Iraq-US war was with an Iraq that had litte of these installations, leading me to believe they adopted the C. Lemay strategy:<br />

"My solution to the problem would bet to tell them frankly that they've got to draw in the horns and stop their aggression, or we're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age." <br />

A war that has benefited the elite of one nation, while damaging the general populace of another. Sounds like any other war, except the conquorer is staying around to plunder. Makes the claims about benefiting the Iraqi people ring hollow.

A lot of American Corporations are doing well in Germany.

Very hollow. The elite few will get the benefits of their countries destruction. I wonder if the Americans are reaping the rewards of their plunderage yet.
