When are people like you going to learn that these people are going to hate America....NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!
Do you honestly think that how religious fundamentalist groups view us should be high on our agenda? You know how we can make Islamic terrorist like us? Kill ourselves, that's about it. No one that we elect is going to make these people hate us less. Their 2,000 year old religion dictates how they should feel about us, not Obama, McCain, Bush, Kerry, etc.
If you care so much about what the rest of the world thinks about this country, maybe it's time for you to join them. Go take a trip to Iran and see if those are the kind of people you want to 'please'.
I really don't understand how it is the Republican party that is using 'fear tactics'. Right now I can find about 200 websites that have a sole purpose and goal of eliminating my country and my family from the face of the earth. There are groups all across the world who's main focus is killing you, and for some reason, the worst guy you can point your finger to is Bush.
Since you say things with so much certainty, why don't you outline some of the 'international relations' you would like to see repaired? Really, tell me who's relationship has been soured that you would like to see repaired. Venezuela? N. Korea? Iran? Russia? The Taliban? Come on man, which one of these is lacking and you would like to see better?
What would YOU do to make these relationships better? Do you think you can change these people's mind about how they feel about our country?
