Reacting to recent allegations in the press that the British spied on U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, my girlfriend asked, "why would we* spy on our friends?"
I said, "That's how we know they're still our friends."
She said, "Oh, that's horrible and cynical, and you're probably right."
(* I guess in this context "we" means "the U.S. and its allies," since we are both Americans.)
