I find the latest Wikileaks extremely amusing. I'm not sure why everyone's talking about how bad this makes the U.S. look. To me, all the countries who publicly bitch about our actions around the world and then privately turn to us to gossip about their supposed allies come off looking worse. Particularly Saudi Arabia! (We don't like Iran. We would secretly be delighted if you, U.S., were to bomb them off the face of the Earth. But of course we would never say that, because we like for them to believe that we're in this Jihad with them."). Same goes for Egypt, which apparently has been making nice with Israel!
Wikileaks to me just demonstrates how full of crap EVERYONE is, not just the U.S. They're all just upset that we spilled their gossip. Maybe if they all were just straight with each other instead of whining to the U.S. about it, we could all be a little more productive in the world.
