This may sound as flamebait, and I do realize that the parent post and its trail is (5, hilarious), but since you were dead wrong on the export issue, I'll educate you on the Danish/US relations, plus a little extra about Denmark.
Danish foreign policy is founded upon four cornerstones: the United Nations, NATO, the EU, and Nordic cooperation. Denmark also is a member of, among others, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Council of Europe, the Nordic Council, the Baltic Council, and the Barents Council. Denmark emphasizes its relations with developing nations.
Although the government has moved to tighten foreign assistance expenditures, it remains a significant donor and one of the few countries to exceed the UN goal of contributing 0.7% of GNP to development assistance.
In the wake of the Cold War, Denmark has been active in international efforts to integrate the countries of central and eastern Europe into the West. It has played a leadership role in coordinating Western assistance to the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). The country is a strong supporter of international peacekeeping. Danish forces were heavily engaged in the former Yugoslavia in the UN Protection Force (UNPROFOR), in IFOR/SFOR as well as in KFOR.
Denmark has been a member of NATO since its founding in 1949, and membership in NATO remains highly popular. There were several serious confrontations between the U.S. and Denmark on security policy in the so-called "footnote era" (1982-88), when a hostile parliamentary majority forced the government to adopt specific national positions on nuclear and arms control issues. With the end of the Cold War, however, Denmark has been supportive of U.S. policy objectives in the alliance.

Since September 11, 2001, Denmark has been highly proactive in endorsing and implementing U.S., UN, and EU-initiated counter-terrorism measures, just as Denmark has contributed substantially to the ISAF in Afghanistan and the neighboring countries.
U.S.-DANISH RELATIONS
Denmark is a close NATO ally, and overall U.S.-Danish relations are excellent. Active in Bosnia, OSCE Chairman-in-Office for 1997, and a leader in the Baltic region, Denmark and the U.S. consult closely on European political and security matters. Denmark shares U.S. views on the positive ramifications of NATO enlargement. Danish and U.S. troops have served side by side in Bosnia and in Macedonia in an effort to bring peace to the region.
Denmark's active liberal trade policy in the EU, OECD, and WTO largely coincides with U.S. interests; the U.S. is Denmark's largest non-European trade partner with about 6% of Danish merchandise trade. Denmark's role in European environmental and agricultural issues and its strategic location at the entrance to the Baltic Sea have made Copenhagen a center for U.S. agencies and the private sector dealing with the Nordic-Baltic region.

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) base and early warning radar at Thule, Greenland--a Danish self-governing territory--serve as a vital link in Western defenses.
Oh, we export a great deal of Carlsberg beer though, which is pretty cool. We drink lots of it too - oh, and Tuborg.:-)
The original Doom game actually had a feature similar to this, only it was fixed to your 1st person viewpoint.
You could set up two other network clients with a special command line switch, and they would show you your left and right 90 degree angle views respectively - really neat too!
Being a 4 player network game you could still frag one of you friends at the same time, and they'd have a hard time sneaking up on you.:-)

zDon't forget, our new Danish law is an implementation of the EU InfoSec directive. Other EU contries will follow - just wait and see. Wake up people!
And yes, it grieves me to see that Laserdisken will close their store here in Copenhagen. I even bought my LD's there - RIP.
zYeah, that was a cheap shot! I'm Danish too. Contrary to what you may think, Denmark is not a city in Sweden. :-)
