The war in Iraq did cost the US a lot, and it would cost them a lot to stay there for many years as McCain was propsing until victory is achieved, and I'm not sure what victory means to start with because there was nothing to win in Iraq. Kinzi, I don't recall Clinton being weak, and I don't know if internationally he's regarded as being weak. He intervened militarily in Somalia which proved to be a disaster but he pulled out quickly afterwards, and again in Serbia which proved to be successful, and didn't do it by himself but with a decent coallition. 9/11 happened after has Bush has been in office for a few months and had a lot of warning signs that he did not do anything about.

Nothing Saddam Hussein did would cause anything but another toothless 'denouncement', that proved to everyone what an impotent land America had become, which was pounced upon by 'terrorists' with different attacks in different places who took pride in their 'strength' of getting away with it.So then Bush did retaliate, and everyone woke up. We went from 'weak' to strong, and yet a show of strength to confront a US made neighborhood despot no one else would brought a sense of shame as well as outrage. I'm not sure which response actually sparks more 'terrorism': weakness, shame, or rage. Where President Obama fits, I don't know. I do know, that taking whatever road the 'terrorists' hate us less, is too broad to set foreign policy on.Hopefully the economic problems will keep the whole world busy for a few years, they might forget to hate.

I hope that this election marks the beginning of major political reformation in the US.People have been saying that merely having a black President will positively affect the relations the US has with other nations, but I'm interested in whether or not those of you outside of the country feel he's the right man for the job policy-wise? Many officials have also been throwing around the idea that "terrorists will have less of a reason to hate us" now that we have a minority in the white house; any thoughts?

Secondly, he is not too liberal as he opposes same sex marriage and he is not clear on the pro-choice issue.That said, I think the American people made history when the elected a president who belongs to a small minority group, not only that, but he is also a son of a recent immigrant. Way too long for us in the Arab world to come close to that history making moments. Well, first of all Obama is not too African American, he is bi-racial.
