#1 Given the state of the positions of both countries re: the fight against terrorism, and Iraq, I'll the the Danes straight up!

Bush thanks Denmark

#4 During the cold war the US sent a proposal to buy Greenland in order to use it as a forward warning radar site. The Danish never acknowledged the offer.

Perhaps we should submit the offer again, perhaps just offering to buy this contested Island for a radar base and then let the Canadians try to take it from us.

#5 ...a small island north of Greenland.

What, are they kidding? Some dinky ice-floe way above the arctic circle they're gonna fight over?

Doesn't it really belong to the polar bears?

#6 Ya know, I'd bet good money the Danes have an older claim.

#8 My $10 is on the Danes because they deserve it and there is great potential entertainment value in it for all. They can then lease it to us and throw the Canadian anti "Deep Integration" nazi crowd into deeper spasmosis.

#9 Whoa, guys. Don't be too eager in dismissing the naval prowess of my homeland. It's rumored the 3-canoe Canadian navy includes a steel-prowed icebreaking canoe. Could be the deciding factor in a dustup with the Danes.

#10 Greenland is not Greenland, it is now officially known as Kalaallit Nunaat. Yet nobody respects the new name and continues to use the name Greenland which was created by the white man oppressors.

There will be no peace until Kalaallit Nunaat is free of Danish imperialism forever!

#12 Kalaallit Nunaat

Inuit for "If you build it, he will come."

#13 Hans Island is our island
I hear an almost ready to fight anthem.

This lan is yur lan!
This lan is frooozaaan!
From the north point wind gap
to the east bay icefield
From the abandon hutments
To the still fresh carcass'ssssss
This lan I'll sell to you real cheap.

#14 LMAO -- that's the Danish version, right?

#15 You better side with Denmark before they start claiming New England...

#16 They can't have New England but I'd consider a swap for Massachusettes. The Senators go with the state though, and we'd also insist Ben Afleck and his buddy go as well.
