question for the americans.....

[diluted]

dont ever think never trampis there is a small island off of New Zealand that we support it is likely to become its own country within a year however we support it with 15 million dollars a year (or something like that) and thats virtually its total economy so financial circumstance etc are not everything when it comes to independence ... however why would you care? Does it even remotely effect you?

i think my point was not about a *state's* urgency
for independence... but moreso how the rest of
the *country* feels about it.

my second point was (hopefully) to illustrate that
we can support a *place* that wishes its freedom
from a much larger *place*... but then become
upset, almost hostile, when it shows they do
not wish to belong to *us*.

if that makes sense
