I wanted to be the first to welcome the liberation of the People's Republic of Basenji from the tyranny of the Salman family.  (pleasant, gracious, welcoming)

Well, congratulations. Basenji is now a nuclear-armed pariah state. I hope it was worth it.  (belligerant)

I'm not sure what I find more insulting -- the fact that you are conspiring with the Americans to interfere in our affairs or that you think we would be naive enough to accept it.  (angry, dismissive)
