Um, any US President who wouldn't cross another country's border w/o permission if it was necessary should be dragged out back and shot.

When talking about a nuclear armed country that sort of attitude can start world war three. When talking about a non-nuclear armed country it makes the US come across as a global dictatorship. We do not elect your presidents, so they should have no right to determine how we run our countries simply by threatening force.
