Yahoo.com: Mexican UN ambassador removed after criticizing US

"According to the Mexican news agency Notimex and some newspapers, Zinser told a university audience that the United States wanted a 'relationship of convenience and subordination' with Mexico.

The United States does not regard Mexico in the same way it does European nations, he reportedly said, adding: 'It sees us as a backyard.'
Last week, Powell slammed the ambassador's remarks as 'outrageous.'"

For Bubba Colin, it is outrageous to speak one's true sentiments, no matter how well they may be grounded in fact.
