"America is deeply diminished as a result. Deal with it..."
Oh please. Get over yourselves. How much credibility is given to anti-U.S. comments from the citizens of a country whose very economic and physical security is wholly dependent on the U.S.? Your influence is zero - which was the purpose of my comment that seemed to escape you. Americans are "dealing with it" just fine, thank you. It's Canadians that seem to think the sky is falling. Perhaps your "deal with it" comment is advice you should be considering.
