Sorry we don't run illegal prisons and torture people like you guys do. Some countries on this planet try to be civilized and get along with everyone else, not try and dominate the whole goddamn show.

PORT OF SPAIN (AFP) — Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Sunday praised the crew of a Canadian warship that helped chase down pirates off Somalia who had tried to attack a Norwegian tanker.
Speaking at the end of a Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago, Harper congratulated the personnel on the HMCS Winnipeg that, along with a British vessel also conducting NATO patrols of the pirate-infested zone, foiled the attack.
The Winnipeg crew was doing "tremendous work" in the Gulf of Aden he told reporters.
Their frigate pursued the pirate ship for seven hours after the British vessel scared it away from the 80,000-ton tanker on Saturday.
The pirates were finally caught early Sunday after throwing their weapons overboard, NATO officials said. After being questioned, they were released because they were outside Canada's jurisdiction and NATO has no mandate to make arrests.
"We obviously act within our legal authority and also within our capacities," Harper said.
"As you know we did briefly detain pirates and disarm them and I think those were appropriate measures under the circumstances. Obviously Canada uses force but only when necessary."

When the US and USN actually does that all the time, instead of only caring if an American is onboard a ship or not, then you can criticize us.
As far as I can see, the US only reacts when one of its own is in harm's way, unlike everyone else. When you start using those methods to protect Filipino and Indoesnian sailors on Bahamian flagged ships, then you'll get kudos.

Well I disagree with that, but being a jackass doesn't help your point.
