Once again, the Bush administration has managed to piss off another country. This time it's Argentina. Or at least that's the gist of this article.

We don't take orders from U.S., Kirchner says

Not withstanding the fact that this is most likely much to do about nothing and is pure Argentine populism at work, why can't we have an opinion that countries that support Cuba and don't pay their debts are wrong? I'd feel a lot better about the anti-American crowd if I had any belief that what they are doing is right. If we are heavy-handed about some things that may make us clumsy, but not necessarily wrong.

Ultimately, what happens when other country's politicians act this way is that foreigners begin to resent America (and believe me this is getting major play in the Argentine media) and the American people remain clueless because nobody cares about Argentina/Bolivia/Brazil, etc...
