Massive anti-US protest outside our embassy in the Philippines.

Well this is getting interesting.  I thought that only the Philippine President had a problem with the alliance with the US, but it seems that anti-US feelings run strong in that country.

Awesome.

Cut ties now and save money!  On a more serious note though, it makes no sense to force an alliance on anyone.  If their people are against it then why should we force it?

In my opinion it's past time to cut ties with "sunshine" friends and limit our foreign entanglements.  Let the Aussies and Japanese deal with them.
