I've always thought that, were I to find myself as the shaky head of a small country, my first act would be to manufacture a crisis in relations with the US, threaten the personal safety of the US ambassador and Embassy staff, then expel him ignominiously. The mob would give me its unquestioned support.

Not a very original idea. It's been done.
